Saturday Stuff

I've been rushing so much to get stuff done it's hard to slow down even when most of the stuff is actually done. I have a short story to finish this weekend that's due soon, and then I have another short story, another Raksura novella, and a non-fiction article that all need to get started.

Fleeing from enemies across treacherous lands, Jonathan must survive and find the girl. Fortunately, help comes in the form of Bryn, a terrible fire spirit, and Morgan, the most beautiful—and deadly—of water spirits. But are they strong enough to give him the time he needs to find the missing girl and stop the tide of destruction?

* There's a review of The Siren Depths and a short interview with me on the Bajan Rosa Book Blog.
