Hit the halfway point on the second pass to smooth over the slash and burn edit phase of The Guardian. If you have not read the first novella/Verrain's story/The Gallant, plenty of time to catch up. I work the old fashioned way - largely hand marking over draft copy.

If you visited the Paravia studio shop looking for a print or one of the Wars of Light and Shadow shorts, and encountered a problem making a purchase, we had a software upgrade glitch, all fixed now. Thank you for your patience.

Also, you would go NUTS over my thoroughbred (now retired at 32!!) - She's a great granddaughter of Buckpasser /sire side, and Northern Dancer/ dam side.

What would FLOOR you: she's a CARBON COPY, one hand shorter, than Buckpasser. I got chills when I bought her straight off the track.

YES! A nautical fantasy titled Sailing the Whirlwind, on submission.

Sequel to Wars of Light and Shadow novella, The Gallant, titled The Guardian draft is halfway through slash and burn edit.

And a short story prequel to Sailing the Whirlwind coming in Unbroken, helping P. Orullian's medical debt:

This is Stardust, feral mother cat, rescued from being dumped into a kill shelter in Dec 12 years ago. Gone from us two weeks ago.
We grieve, and we never leave a vacancy.
Her loss gave is Arriken.

Brynli, stealing the my chair, she has no idea what's about to hit her. (Ware Arriken!)
July 19, 2025 at 3:14 PM
Vet check A-OK. Guess who's getting out of quarantine. Already gained a pound. Arriken will own the house very soon.

Arriken has two speeds: bullet and cuddle puddle.
July 18, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Arriken, growing like a weed!
July 16, 2025 at 5:25 PM
Both. He's a Bengal (rescue, I don't support breeders).

Bullet to melted purr, flat on his back, all paws in the air. Don't come with any other gear but flat out wilding to cuddle puddle.

He's near a carbon copy of our Talisman, here shown with Brynli in the background..
