  • “There were no signs of scheming on that bold, frank face, though. Just the same hard determination that had always been there, with the faint mist of something else clouding his eyes. On closer inspection, Gilferen could find those eyes steadily on the back of Taluin Sera Cohl, on the long pale braid swaying slightly…

  • RoW Check-In: November 9th!

    “The next few hours passed with a dull pain that Auferrix had shoved into the back of her consciousness, and when it was over, she felt drained and empty, a dry husk. She started to believe their words, that they would be doing a favor by killing her. In just a few days, this nightmare…

  • “‘….Lucky you, a private audience and everything. The only others who earn such a privilege are myself and his whores.’ “What’s the difference?’” I always hate to admit it, but the end of Daylight Saving’s Time “Fall Back” is a godsend.

  • How Inspiring!

    As I stand on the precipice of the great cliff of my handful of upcoming writing challenges, I’ve been thinking an awful lot about inspiration lately. Mostly on how I haven’t got much of it (at the moment) and how I know that often changes, but what exactly changes that? What happens to cause inspiration…

  • The Story that Couldn’t.

    Now, I may be jumping the gun a little on this. I might finish up this post, get to work, hit a stride, and the next thing I know it, I’ve cleared the hurdle and everything is going along swimmingly. But, right now, as it stands, I’m pretty sure that The Unknown Scourge simply does…
