Good morning! I'm feeling rested today, which is a vast improvement over yesterday morning. I try to sleep in on the weekends, if my cat lets me. She's a demanding one, though, with a routine she doesn't like being disrupted. That's life when a tortie decides you belong to her. I'd set my alarm, as … Continue reading The power of dreams

“Well?” Herasta asked her guest. Her back was to Diak, but even the Yathtallar couldn’t sneak up on her in her own home. The tall woman eased into a chair across from Herasta. “It’s done. Now, we wait.” “Where did you last see them?” Diak shrugged. “We let the paladin go near enough to them … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 41 – Herasta’s Plan

Adam hovered near the wall, his feet above Pan’s head, and watched as the black dragon moved on Thia. Jinnaari kept pace with the beast, his sword already covered with the creature’s blood. He let loose a barrage of magic, hitting the creature with each bolt. It flinched, and bellowed in pain, but kept moving. … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 40 – Acid Rains Down

I have an agent!!! An actual literary agent!!! This morning, I signed a contract for representation with Denise Barone of Barone Literary. Never let anyone tell you to give up. If you do, you'll never know what the next day will bring. Being a writer isn't easy. It's long hours of sitting at a computer … Continue reading I have an agent!!!

Thia lowered herself to the floor, her back to the cavern wall. Her friends busied themselves with looting the corpses and cleaning their weapons of blood. All she wanted to do was take time to regain her breath. Rummaging in her pack, she pulled out some dried beef and began to eat. A few remaining … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 39 – Time to Breathe

“Go ahead,” Ishacte turned toward Jinnaari. “We’re not far now. The tunnel at the far end leads right to Vizeran’s tower.” The dragonborn turned to her. “Ladies first,” he growled. And I’m using the term loosely, he thought. Earlier that day, he’d found the group. Or they’d found him. It was a little unclear. The … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 38 – Betrayal

“And that’s how our Uncle Randy defeated the troll,” Pan barely paused before launching into a new story. “Let’s see, who’s next? Oh, yeah. I haven’t told you about Uncle Bran!” Thia smiled slightly, letting the druid keep up with his stories of their ‘family’. Disguising her as his sister may not pass a close … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 37 – Friends and Relations

Helix watched Ishacte as the party slept. Like Caelynn, she didn’t sleep. Talking to her without the rest taking notice, though. Now, that would be the trick. “What is it, Tabaxi?” Her voice was low, barely above a whisper. “I’m curious.” She turned her full attention to him. She may have the same lilac eyes … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 36 – Beginning Negotiations

 Pain pierced his dreamless sleep as the box he was in slammed against something hard. Splinters of wood dug into Jinnaari’s skin. He blinked, desperate to chase away the drug induced fog that clouded his brain. Something heavy stepped on his leg. He screamed, the sound muffled by the gag, as the bones snapped under … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 35 – Freedom is Won

She held the crystal in her hand, trying to calm the dread that encompassed her soul. “You can ask any question, Thia, and we will answer. The future is ever in motion. Whatever answer you seek is not set in stone. Not until the moment when you chose to set your foot on one path … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 34 – A Clouded Future
