Onesong – book #2 released

I am thrilled to let you all know that Walk the Path has been released. This is the second and final part in the Onesong series (unless I decide to also put Cirvel’s portion of the story into this series too — who knows!). Still, this completes Rivic’s adventure which started in Tangled Magic. You’ll see Rivic again in Prince of the Ruined Land (Sacred Knight #4).

Purchase Walk the Path in ebook or print from these and many other booksellers.

If you haven’t read Tangled Magic, your copy can be acquired from any of these retailers or more.

In other news, I believe I am done with The Missing Thread (Sacred Knight #5), but I’m trying to write a bit further into the 6th and final book in that series so that I can be sure that the series wraps up nicely.

Going to get back to it. Strangely, books don’t write themselves (and I fear the day that artificial intelligence is truly smart enough to do just that).

Temporarily Discontinuing

I am temporarily discontinuing my weekly free fiction.

Sorry.

It’s not that I don’t like doing, or that I don’t want to do it, or that I can’t write fast enough to do it. It’s that I’ve come to realize that I need to be very protective about the part of me that writes my fiction and I’ve seen how this could potentially be very hurtful to my artist child.

I am working on big changes in my creative life, which I hope will allow me to get back to the free fictions posts, but in a way different fashion. It will take a bit for me to get there though. I am hoping I can resume later this year.

Or, if I get bored at some point, I will post something that is currently published. I just don’t have enough of those stories to do it weekly — yet.

But for now, I write and keep it to myself until it is done.

I hope you will understand.

“Let’s get him out and to the med bay,” Jadz instructed, carefully letting the cutting torch slip to the floor.

They lifted off the top of the life pod and lowered it to the floor.

“We think one of the hits penetrated it enough to depressurize it. He was still conscious when we brought him onboard, pounding at the glass to get out,” the astronomer explained.

Jadz pulled the cutting torch from around her and fired it up. “Stand back. This is going to spark.”

She went along the sems of the life pod hoping that these lines would be where the metal was the weakest. Without protective goggles, she had to cut at a strange angle. Still, every now and then she had to stop put out sparks on her clothes. A couple of sparking cinders singed the skin of her forearms.

“Tell them to get back to the station.” Jadz dropped down into a second chair by Mouse and picked up a headset. “Do you have any visual capabilities within the shuttlecraft?”

Mouse shook her head. “Shuttlecraft, Jadz advising returning to station. Station over.”

“… Trying… station. Situation… critical. Door…”

“There’s got to be some sort of handle. Do you see anything that looks like it can open the pod?” Jadz asked

She swung the telescope to search for the shuttle. Where was it?

From somewhere else on the station, Jadz heard Mouse scream.

“No, no, no, no, no. Find the shuttle. Find the shuttle,” Jadz chanted.

“It’s darker than I thought it would be,” Jadz said, returning to the telescope.

“It’s the sun filters. Lots of molten stars being formed out there. You wouldn’t want to hurt your vision by looking at one.”

Jadz turned the telescope toward a brighter section she saw a larger star came into view, illustrating Mouse’s point.

“If you want to look at something not so intense, you can pop the filter off,” Mouse advised.

The star’s light flashed off of something metal to the right of her view. She swung the telescope for a closer look.

“Are you sure there’s no one else out here?”

“Out here?”

Mouse must have sensed her hesitation. “No one’s here. You fixed their shuttle, so they went out to take closer readings of the nebula. They were so excited.” She gave a little roll of her eyes as she spoke.

The door before them slid open, revealing that Mouse had spoken truthfully. The Astrolab was empty.

“Whatever you did to get it up and running, thank you!” Mouse said.

“I… replaced… the AR Coil. That was all.

Mouse stopped and waited for her to catch up. “What did you use to do for fun, before coming out here to the edge of nowhere?”

“I read.”

“Ah, reading. Books are good. But you probably didn’t socialize because you always had your nose stuck against a tablet, didn’t you?”

“What does it matter to you if I am social or not. I prefer my own company.”

The station needed a lot of work. Mouse had been right about it needing a lot of upkeep. Jadz fell into the easy rhythm of pulling maintenance records for each area of the station and just getting to work.

“Have you eaten anything today?” became a frequent question from Mouse, who often showed up with a wrapped sandwich in hand which she tossed at Jadz with a wink. “Don’t stay too much passed your shift.”
