I naturally and continually dampened my magic, of course. But a sorcerer of his power level would be able to trace any residual, even subconsciously. He could have followed the path I’d inadvertently laid along the roads I walked every few days in my almost obsessive need to create habitual routines. Lani was going to […]

Mirth: Rian Callaghan
Content Note: language. He’s not rescuing me. He’s protecting the horse still dancing and snorting in the ring. Protecting Perseus from me. My energy is so volatile that a stranger thinks that I would harm — Shifting his hands from my upper arms, he presses his forearm across my chest, leaning into me and finally […]
[I just realized I hadn’t shared this illustration here, and I need it for the Extras and Freebies page 😁][it is also in the limited-edition eBook of Mirth, Part One]. CONTENT NOTE: language The door to the suite opens. Anne hustles in. She’s wearing a light-gold full-length wrap-style silk dress. She pauses just inside the […]
The early morning is dark, cloud shrouded, though a half moon intermittently shimmers through thinner patches of that cloud. Tiny flakes of snow filter down from the otherwise starless sky. Not even a hint of the pending sunrise tinges the horizon as I slip out a side door. I immediately dart across the short yard […]

Conduit Series: Maps
The map of Cascadia (by Amanda at Eternal Geekery) appears at the beginning of Awry (Conduit 1) but (for now) the map of North America only appears in the back of the limited edition. I’m posting both here so I can add the link to the Extra and Freebies page. 😁

If you are interested, and haven’t already, please read Awry (Conduit 1) for more info (and, presumably, please avoid reading the comments on this post). […]

Runner’s/swimmer’s build. Right hand crushed thirteen years before the events of Conduit 1. Bright green rims his eyes when his beast is present. DOB: April 1 […]
The engine hasn’t even died before the driver’s-side door is opening, and a male steps out — dark-blond hair, naturally tanned skin, and shoulders so broad I’m surprised that he slips out of the car so agilely. Though he is clearly a shifter. The moment his booted feet hit the ground and the energy underpinning […]
“I can’t push you,” I say gently. “Some choices have to be your own. Not everything is determined by fate alone.” Startled, her eyes flick up to meet mine. “Can you get me home?” “I’ll die trying,” I say, aware that I’ve uttered my own destiny — a single, short thread of it, at least […]
Muta. In his actual form. Although he looks like a snake — a long gold body with dorsal blotches of dark brown that form inverted triangles, ending in a horny spined tail — Muta is actually an aspect of the divine who was trapped in the body of a snake. As a punishment, perhaps. At […]
