May's Writing Progress

Work continues on the omnibus edition of The Barefoot Healer. I've finished the background material and have written a bonus short story that ties up a loose end. (And as Breda pointed out when she read it, promptly opens another one. But hey.) It's called The Shortest Distance between Two Points, and is told from the perspective of Shomnakh Enkhyar, the magical well that was the "water" part of the title of Dust & Water. It needs a bit of editing to make it flow more smoothly, and perhaps do a better job of explaining the experience of consciousness for a creature that doesn't have a solid body.

I started another bonus short story, but I'm in two minds as to whether to include it (or finish it) as it could easily turn into something much bigger. So I'd say we're on track for a release at the end of June or beginning of July. Then I'll go back to Dragonrider 2, and perhaps even get around to editing the audiobook of Death & Magic, which I, mumble mumble, said would be on sale last month. I was having too much fun compiling the glossary, that's what it was...
