Much debate elapsed among the disparate Twelve. By telepathic surges of raw intent, emotion, and implication, they postured, bellowed and haggled over what They desired. They feuded over the globular potential condensed within the languid pinpoint that hovered equidistant between Them in the infinite roiling maelstrom before all things began. After immeasurable discourse during which […]
Divari held back a whimper.
It was not for want of heartening beauty nor factual security that she hugged herself, sometimes, when she thought no one was looking. Her spirit did not abide here. It was caught elsewhere still.
One of the neons over the bar is flickering again. You don’t mind. It’s part of the place’s charm. No pretensions of glamor.
“King Sidra had it on his person when he died: a gemstone, black but glass-like, bearing a golden sunburst set with a red circle. I have hid it in my enclave’s remains. You must take it. It has driven all who touch it mad. They are saying the one who masters it will be his true heir.”
Hello, readers mine! I’ve decided we’re once again due for a preview chapter here, so that’s what you’re going to get. This will be #4 not of 5, but of 6–for Chapter 5 is comparatively short in its revised incarnation, and Chapter 6 has too much within it that I desperately want to share. Thus, […]

I hoped to convince other writers of the potential in this idea–in […]
Hello, readers mine. I’m struggling with something at the moment, so I’m afraid we’re due for another of those posts. You know the ones. The ones where I treat these pixel-born pages as a replacement for therapy. Ironically, I’m at a point in my life where I’m open to therapy, but can no longer afford […]
Hello, readers mine! Continuing this new experiment of posting the chapters which will be part of the free preview of The Necromancer and the Reaping Spear, here’s the first working version of the second chapter.

Hello, readers mine! As I said I would, I’ve finally started revisions on The Necromancer and the Reaping Spear.

Pageblazing is glorious work! So, […]
