Warning: Sprite Blood is a continuation of Roan and Ari’s story that began in Strange Introductions. This piece could be read as a standalone, mostly, with only a few references making little sense if you haven’t read the first one.

Man Made Stone

He wore the marks well, specks of gray upon his skin. Like bruises from an old master, one of his own making. They grew in ever-spreading meandering patterns, leaving the distinct impression of shadows reaching through his skin. Sometimes I envisioned they reached for me.

His smile faded over time. Those lips I’d once touched with trembling fingers ceased curving when he saw me. The light in his eyes dimed as if reflecting the strange weight crushing his soul. I tried to stop that headlong dive he took, tried to remind him of the pleasures of the flesh, of the joy a beating heart could not contain when it found a kindred spirit.

He pushed me away, not unkindly, but painfully all the same.

His hand scraped like coarse granite, drawing a pinkness to my skin that ran in neat lines along my arm. The strength behind that jerky movement startled me. He’d never been so powerful, not even when I’d loosed control and let him lead me in all ways, carnal and otherwise. Continue reading →

Song for the Wilds Published!

Song For The Wilds eBook CoverToday’s the day!

Song for the Wilds is now available!

This novel is the conclusion of The Wilds Duology and is a fantasy adventure/gay romance story, heavy on the fantasy with plenty of mayhem and darkness abounding.

Normally I list six interesting facts about the novel being published, however, I already touched on anything remotely interesting for Haunt’s publication post and the things left I want to say could contain spoilers. I’ll save those tidbits for a future post.

For anyone who didn’t know, I have a lot of short free stories available to read on the bottom of The Wilds Duology page if you’re looking for more from the houndmaster world. I have no plans of removing any of them so check them out at your leisure.

Also, I’ve started work on a sequel trilogy! :) It will be featuring two different houndmasters, ruins, a missing sire and a botanist. Plus a trio of mages from Haunt will be taking advantage of their new-found freedom to jump aboard the fresh adventure train!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Since it is the holiday, I’m putting all my novellas on sale for only .99c through Christmas Day. (It might take a few hours for the sale to take effect, but it’ll be live all day the 25th.) If you celebrate, I hope you’re closer to being ready for tomorrow than I am!

He began with a tiny pinch of flying powder—it’d be good for a lift in a person’s step was all. Then came the sticky sap, a sugary glue to keep them together no matter the distance. A dash of rosemary mixed with honeysuckle for the springtime memory even in the midst of winter. Then two mismatching butterfly wings—one blue and black, the other yellow and white—plucked only from those who died of old age after fluttering through even the worst of storms.

With a kind hand and a warm oven, he baked the sticky substance for a mere minute, just long enough for two people to truly notice one another. As the finishing touch, he sprinkled crushed conch shell over the tray so they would be able to hear the crashing emotions in each other if they stopped to listen.

Before it cooled, he rolled the tips of his arrows through the mixture, then he set out with a quiver full of love and a determination to change the world two hearts at a time.

The End

I figure everyone would want a break from all things houndmaster or wild, so here’s just a short and sweet piece to make you smile.

Happy first Sunday of the month :)

Haunt of The Wilds eBook Cover Haunt of the Wilds is live!
The Wilds Duology: Book I
gay romance/adventure fantasy

It’s been a fun month leading up to today and I’ve published a lot of free fiction, but now it’s time for a few non-fiction facts about the book! These are more about the writing-of the novel rather than content :)

1. I wrote the beginning of Haunt back in 2012 and never meant to finish it.

About two days before NaNo that year my plan was to use Nov to finish up another novel I’d been stalled on for a few weeks. In order to jumpstart my creativity and get me back into writing order, I decided to just mess around with some free writing those two days prior to Nov 1st. So, I wrote what ended up being the first draft of De’vii’s part in chapter one.

Nov 1st came around and I just kept going on the new story. Fun fact: that other novel is still unfinished… Continue reading →
