Today is Book Quote Wednesday and the word is JAM.

Here's an action scene from SORDANEON, in which Dorilian rides in a pelekys match, a brutal game which is played on horseback. He makes his move but doesn't come out of it unscathed.

Today's #BookQW word is 'jam'. The WIP contains a surprising amount of jamming, but I'm holding that until it's on an exit ramp, so here's a short story snippet from the Before Times.

'Collapse' is a tale of - among other things - corporate chicanery, bee colony collapse, and doomed paper cups.
