1 chapters — updated May 13, 2015 06:32PM

Description: An excerpt from my recent novel-in-progress, ShadowQueen (originally titled "Tamerin and Isllel"). This is part of the Twelve Kingdoms series. I need more action upfront, I know - but here 'tis! Feedback and criticism welcome!

Pocket Full of Drabbles (Science Fiction & Fantasy)

1 chapters — updated Sep 29, 2009 01:26PM

Description: A "drabble" is a story (or at least a "completed" collection) of 100 words long. In attempting to stab my brain to life in the midst of work and working with post-nasal dribbles, I decided to write one drabble (b/c it is short, pithy, and means one feels as though one completed something with very little effort). This invariably led to a second drabble, which was connected to the first. Which is leading to a third...and so on. Because it never dribbles but it drabbles. (Oh, I'm full of 'em. Try the veal.) I'll upload them as I have them. (And yes, turns out the above is also...a drabble. Oy.)

“Another strike of lightening – now accompanied by the deep-bellied rumble, and the horse reared, incidentally setting Henry very picturesquely against the inconstant moon. Alas, Catherine was deeply engaged in her argument with Old Edric and this missed entirely the melodramatic display. But we may assume that, possessing so strong an imagination, Catherine had often pictured Henry thus...”
