Also, we present a sneak peek at one of 13 new domains detailed in The Book of Divine Magic, the Dream Domain:
Dream Domain
Deity: Orphean.
Granted Powers: Your dreams provide you with visions of future events, giving you and your companions
an advantage in avoiding danger and allowing you to communicate with others.
Dodging Danger (Su): Your sense of future events allows you and your companions to dodge attacks, spells and breath weapons. Twice per day you or a companion you designate gains a +5 bonus to AC or to Reflex saves for 1 round. The bonus can be applied to two different individuals once or to one individual twice.
Dream State (Su): Beginning at 8th level you may enter a dream state once per night. In this dream state you can visit the dreams of any other creature on the same plane of existence with the same chances of success as if you had cast the spell scrying. If you are successful, you can communicate with the person whose dreams you are visiting.
Domain Spells:1st – obscuring mist, 2nd – pleasant dreams*, 3rd – premonition*, 4th – sending, 5th – commune, 6th – wind walk, 7th – ethereal jaunt, 8th – dreamwalker*, 9th – astral projection.
Spells marked with an (*) are spells detailed in The Book of Divine Magic.
The Book of Divine Magic will be released September 29, 2009. The PDF will be available here in the Paizo.com store, at DriveThruRPG and related stores, and at Indie Press Revolution.
You can preorder a print copy now at Indie Press Revolution.

Awesome, thanks! I know Barnes & Noble is carrying it. It's also available here in the Paizo store and through Indie Press Revolution as well.
I got Arcane Magic thru amazon, I wonder why Divine Magic is not on there

I don't know why Amazon chose not to list it. All we can do is make it available. :)

well, yell at them
Just got it a few weeks ago and it follows Arcane as far as quality goes. I'm not sure about the weapon choice for the one deity, a deity whose sacred beast is another of my totems known for strength and power but the favored weapon of the deity is a sword and not an axe? The author and those that have read this know of what I speak and it's not a complaint as the weapon chosen is one that takes advantage of great strength. Interesting, I'm going to keep an eye out for more from this company.

I assume you're speaking of Brun and the bastard sword. The bastard sword has always been envisioned as his favored weapon because he is primarily followed by barbaric or semi-barbaric peoples and in our visions there was a distinct influence from Robert E. Howard on those people's culture (yet to be described in detail). Thus, it was an easy leap to a Conan-esque bastard sword as the favored weapon.
Glad you like the book!

I assume you plan of publishing a campaign setting at some point, correct? any idea when?

Look for it in late 2010 or early 2011, provided plans don't change.

We are now making our print products available directly from us through Amazon.com's storefronts. You can order The Book of Arcane Magic and The Book of Divine Magic through them (shipped from us), and soon Paths of Power will be up there as well.

Exactly, although reading the entry did something for me that you could not have anticipated in that it sparked a flip in focus in some of my story telling efforts. Basically the entry on Brun was a kind of awareness notice from one of my totems. Which begs the question of what might Brun's reaction might be to a race of humanoid and humanized bears?

Our vision of Brun includes a number of goodly werebears as high priests and rangers, so I'm pretty sure Brun would be open to such things.
