ART: Blue Stones, Black Fur
Bathed in Moonlight. I know there’s other stuff also going on in the seventh story in the Songs of the Amaranthine collection, but Char and Rinloo-dex are two of my favorite people.

Catch and Release
“Ah, ah!” Jacques kept his tone light. “Far too soon for me to be caught. I shall require a head start. And probably several second chances. Do wolves subscribe to a catch-and-relea...

Final Fitting
The following afternoon, Jacques invited Sonnet to Randolla’s. “I know it’s late to confer. Mere hours until sunset, but this was a rush job.”
Amber eyes widened.
