Time For a Snippet!

This is from my soon-to-be-published Swords and Sorcery novelette, The Weight of Their Souls. To be truthful, I’d hoped to have it published by now, but I’m waiting for the cover art. (Aren’t we always waiting for the cover art?)

We gathered in the doorway, and Malachai drawled with casual disdain, “What is it with you, Ravenbeard? We’re facing this unholy thing, and you say you won’t stand with us. Why?”

“Brother,” Mordekai said sternly. “Leave it. We don’t have time for this.”

“The way I see it, we aren’t the ones short on time.”

“That’s between me and my mates,” I answered.

Malachai crossed his arms stubbornly. “Funny, I don’t see any of them here.”

I wanted to punch him, or maybe throw up. “That’s right,” I said through gritted teeth. “You don’t. We fought the wyvern on Vanra Field. What did you do?”

The Weight of their Souls should be coming out soon! Meantime, here are a few of my other books:

Aunt Ursula’s Atlas, Lucy D. Ford’s short story collection

Masters of Air & Fire, Lucy D. Ford’s middle-grade novel

The Grimhold Wolf, my Gothic werewolf fantasy, and my epic fantasy, The Seven Exalted Orders.
