Short and sweet for this week's #lesficfri (RUN).

"Raen, who normally viewed running as something for people who failed to plan ahead adequately, raised a trail of dust getting back to the library."

Sunny sits down to dinner with her best friend for the first time after being away awhile, and the questions begin anew...

Cover of the novel Beneath the Shell by Cameron Darrow over aw white background. Beneath it is the text: "For having eyebrows the same color as her skin, Raeny’s face could be remarkably expressive. But expressive of what, Sunny had no idea, even as those incredible eyes regarded her an extra moment. The longer it went on the warmer Sunny became, and she had no idea why—or so she told herself. The further apart they were, the closer Sunny wanted to be. She had missed Raeny in ways—and parts of herself— she’d always told herself not to. What had changed?"

#lesficfri for TROUBLE

Raen might spend a BIT too much time in her magic school's library. Enough that even the head librarian herself grows concerned...

The very first one for Beneath the Shell! Out Jan. 27! ⬇️

Cover of the novel Beneath the Shell by Cameron Darrow over a white background. Beneath it is the excerpt in black text: "It's been a few days since I checked on you, I wanted to make sure you hadn't gotten distracted. Or died, since you don't seem to have brought any provisions." "I go outside to eat and drink!" Raen blurted. The only thing that would get her in more trouble with Mivindra was an open flame. "I use the toilets upstairs, too! Go ahead and check the wastebaskets if you don't believe me!" "That's the minimum I expect." Mivindra swept a hand over Raen's table. "I know the rules against food and drink, I wrote them. But… please bring some water down with you next time you go up to the surface world. You look parched." Raen's tongue peeled tackily from the roof of her mouth." Below that is the black text: #lesficfri for trouble

A freelance wizard has it hard enough, but a freelance wizard in a land where magic is highly regulated has it even harder.

cover of the novel midnight magic by cameron darrow over white. below it is the black text: "How such a trifling little thing could prove such a vexing pain in the arse was a mystery that only time and most likely several more explosions was going to solve, if she was lucky. If she was unlucky, it would stay a mystery. If she was spectacularly unlucky, she would be further pondering why amidst the charred remains of what was left of her home. Should she find herself in the space that lay beyond bad luck in the realm of 'curse of some description', she would find her head on a spike for trying to shove magic into metal." followed by #lesficfri for lucky

If a vampire WALKs in on you in the bath, what else can you do but smile and hope she goes away?

Or better yet, stays?

My historical paranormal mystery Death Has Golden Eyes is on sale for US $.99 (or local equivalent) until the 18th!

Cover of the novel death has golden eyes by cameron darrow over a background of a blurred-out version of the same cover. centered is the white text: “Are you decent?” Azalea asked after a quick rap.
“No,” Dizzy said.
“Good.” 
The candles could barely fight through enough steam to reach Dizzy, leaving the rest of the room one large shadow for Azalea to emerge from. She did so wearing a robe-ish suggestion as insubstantial as the vapor rising from the bathwater. Without a word, she perched herself on the rim of the tub at Dizzy’s feet in another effortless display of preternatural balance.
And confidence.
Doing her best to match it, Dizzy didn’t even raise her head to ask, “What makes you think you can just walk in here uninvited like that?”
Eyes that could see as easily in the dark as in the light did both. “You’re smiling.” below that is more white text #lesficfri for walk

From Hall of Mirrors

Being a stranger in a den of witches was never going to go well, even for a fellow witch. After a threat like that from someone with the power to do it? I'd jump, too.

Background of the blurred cover of the novel Hall of Mirrors by Cameron Darrow. Centered on top is the full cover. Below it is the black text excerpt: "If you threaten my sister again, I will burn you alive and compose music to your screams."
"You fear truth," Sveta said to the new witch. "You have lived on lies for so long, you fear it will kill you."
The stranger flicked her eyes between the two Russians, Katya's flames clearly visible in the depths of the witch's pupils.
"She's never been threatened by a witch before today, and doesn't know if you're lying," Sveta supplied.
A fireball shot forward to within inches of the stranger, making her jump backwards. 
"She's welcome to find out," Katya said. Below that is white text: #lesficfri for jump
