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,…


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…


Evil is Building, the Storm is Coming

As Caitlyn and Dreighton sat at their small fire, playing their part as decoys, an unexpected guest silently padded up.  They watched as she came closer, approaching as if tamed. “Well-met, spirit-wolf,” Dreighton said.  “What are you about?” The creature drew closer, looking around and quietly growling deep in her throat, growing more agitated. Then…


Women can be able. The story can come to life through it. I wanted to share this literary analysis about female characters.

First Encounter

Caitlyn sat on the tree limb, more than 12 feet above the ground, with a small torch tacked into the trunk beside her, burning low.  She looked away from all the sources of light, preserving her night vision. Fawnlum could feel the oppressive atmosphere filling the night around them.  She glared into the darkness, then…


It’s Fawnlum’s Turn

Fawnlum charged, as if she was going for the chest wound. Felldrake back-stepped, held Baneck out of the way, and breathed another blast of fire at her. The blistering onslaught completely engulfed her, and sent a wave of heat radiating all around for everyone in the crowd to feel. Fresh cries of grief and anger…


He Got in a Couple Good Licks

Baneck held his sword high, and shouted, “Diergon in Victory!” The cheering turned into a furious thunder around him. Then, suddenly, to Fawnlum’s shock, he slapped the flat of his sword against his shield, muttering a strange series of words, as if he was casting a spell! Felldrake narrowed his eyes, and reared forward.  He…


King and Country

Then she and her attendants went on, leaving Fawnlum with new thoughts, and troubles. After a few moments, the young warrioress walked from behind the cover of the wagon and rejoined the revelers, staring straight ahead but seeing nothing.  She suddenly found herself again in the company of her friends, with Honee still perched atop…


Enter the Heroine

Fawnlum Raijum, unaware of the despoiling of one fair land several years before, smiled as the breaking dawn of spring illuminated the world around her. Far to the west of the continent of Calador, across the body of ocean known as the Brierren Channel, sat her home in the southeastern region of the rugged island…
