A few days later, Natty and Mariba stood on the southern outskirts of Neldane, beside the road leading out of town. Natty gently scratched Bello’s shoulder, in the pre-dawn light of a crisp spring morning, as gentle breezes wafted through the leafy branches overhead. She gave a firm rub to the bend of his neck,…

“Why has Terba been ridden this morning?!” he demanded, towering over Natty with his broad frame and weathered features. “For training,” she clearly and respectfully answered, tilting her head back slightly to look up at him. “No one is supposed to ride him,” he scolded, “except the Colonel!” Then he slowly and icily asked, “Who…
Chapter 1 Part 1
Within the sweeping lands of the continent of Calador, light winds blew through the southern corners of the human kingdom of Falconrake. Even in the hazardous Aumbridge Forest, the gentle movement of air gave a reminder, of the natural order of peace for all living things in the physical world. West of the Slick…
Equestrian Girl Adventure
I’m working on the next book in the Jagged Coast series, but in the meantime, I want to post some short stories. These are set in the same Fantasy-adventure world as Jagged Coast, on the same continent, but take place in a far different territory, where an equestrian teenage girl, named Natty, and her horse,…
We Were Few, And Evil Rejoiced. Then We Attacked.
Fawnlum did not ask any questions, spurred by the desperation in Morgenferrin’s voice, but climbed up her offered wing, clamoring up to straddle the base of the dragon’s neck. Taking a firm grip of the frills running down the length of Morgy’s spine, she reached down to help pull Nepta up behind her, as the…
You Can’t Fight That
It had been three days since they had returned. Nepta, having been treated with Morgy’s spell of recovery, was eating almost as furiously as Sienna, both working to regain their strength. In Morgy’s words, Lucas had been most skillful in dealing with members of the city watch. They had been surprised, and rightfully anxious, when…
Terrible is The Enemy
Maguleth stood in the Daghaivans’ study, none too pleased, and none too forgiving, as he looked through the red-tinted water of the scrying bowl, at the treacherous councilman Armstrun’s cringing face. “Do you think I’m going to let everything I’ve built for the last 50 of your miserable human years, be torn away by some…
Why Simply Kick the Hornets Nest, When You Can Jump Right In?
Fawnlum rushed over, as Gritcomb fought to muffle Bluntwerk, the red-bearded dwarf shouting his grief. Fawnlum lifted him off the floor, and clamped her hand over his mouth. “What is it?!” she hissed. “The Kettlecot Clan!” he sputtered, freeing himself. “Who?” Gritcomb answered, before Bluntwerk could yell again. “A family of dwarf engineers, lost long…
Awakened in the Marks
Caitlyn and Firgristle were keeping watch on the wall, when tiny white motes of light winked into view from the north. “Wait!” the syiajryn shouted, recognizing the moonlight. Then she was over the wall, running to meet the dark-skinned elves, and lead them through the safe paths. Having heard the shout, Nepta climbed up on…
The Deadly Inspiration
The next morning, minus Morgenferrin, they were all sitting around the table again, having much the same discussion as when Torsar’s group had arrived. “We’ve killed a lot of them, but more keep coming,” Fawnlum explained. “So let’s kill more!” Caitlyn offered. “Aye!” Dreighton and Halrick quickly agreed. “It doesn’t matter,” Fawnlum fumed, tapping the…
