The Legacy, and Pixie Forest Publishing



The Legacy: 

Author Jensen Reed from Pixie Forest Publishing was kind enough to give my story some space over on her blog. You can find the link here: The Legacy

In honor of her giving some space to my little group of witches and their odd family, I'd thought I'd share another short snippet from the story: 


He dove again, and reappeared shortly thereafter. Clawing his way out, he rolled onto the ice and breathed heaving breaths, clutching for his clothes. Vapor steamed up from his body. The water in his hair and beard was already turning to ice.

“I c-c-c-can’t see!” He reached out again.

Destra tilted her head to one side and glanced at Beth, who shook her head slightly. Destra whacked Reynard in the thigh with her staff. "Get back in there you lazy lout! Our sister is still alive!"


Go get it. I've got other stories out there too, but this one is the baby in the spotlight right now. And when you're done with The Legacy and my other stories, go check out some of the fine work that Pixie Forest Publishing is doing. They are good people and I hope to work with them in the future.


Picture for today: Something old for my grandfather, who volunteered for airborne way back in the day when it was first starting up...Love you Grandpa. We're fools together, though I joined the Navy and not the Army. Proud to have served and retired.

Winter

16 OCT 16

Sunday Sunday Sunday!  The Saints won today, which is always good. I also did some writing today, some decorating for Halloween coming up and now it's time to grade some papers. The writing I did was for the Winter anthology coming up from Wolfsinger Publications. It's a cool piece full of ancient witches, death most foul and magic set in a frozen landscape. Wrote about 700 words towards a goal just under 7,000, so about a tenth of the whole piece. I fleshed out some of what the witches are like, what power they have and will use in the story, sort of Baba Yaga-ish a little bit. I also worked on the setting of the piece, talking about the twilight around them and the Northern Lights. It definitely feels like a winter story.  

The picture below, although not tied to the story, is a good indicator for the feel I am going for. Have a great Sunday everyone!
