My Facebook account is still under review. (big sigh) I didn’t expect it to be approved this week, not with the holiday. Customer service folks (if there ARE customer service folks actually working at Facebook) deserve time off too. I completely understand that.
I have completed the first 10 chapters of the first draft of Warlord’s Return (releasing in November). I love this story so fraggin’ much. (grins) Ariq and his gerel are magical together. It has been a joy to write, my escape from the universe.
This week, I’m writing the next 5 chapters in Warlord’s Return. There will be 18 chapters (at least) so I won’t be finishing the first draft this week but I’ll be getting close to completing it! Woot!
As many of you know, I write short stories (15,000 words or 60 pages long) between longer releases. I write these for myself, as muse pleasers, for pure fun. I love many of these stories and am thinking about gathering them into bundles.
Because I think some short story loving reading buddies might love them also.
For writing buddies, I doubt this will be a money-making venture. Short stories don’t tend to sell well. If enough readers read them to offset the cost of the cover, I would be surprised and super happy.
And I’m at the thinking about it stage. I might not do anything with these short stories.
Note: The December free stories will definitely still be happening. I already have the cover (from the always awesome Amanda Kelsey from Razzle Dazzle Design) for Holding Hoarse, this year’s freebie. I don’t yet have an idea for the story but I have an image to go with it. (grins)

Other Chameles view him as the enemy.
She sees the warrior hero he never believed he could be.

Tolui is a Warlord in search of a planet to rule. He has been leading his fellow clones in a stealth battle, fighting for both control of the Chamele sector and the right to exist. The brave warriors he commands warrant respect, and they deserve the best.
That best isn’t the barren, dangerous terrain on Chamele 4. When Tolui crashes on that planet’s surface, he’s determined to leave it as soon as possible. The tiny human female rescuing him might be as beautiful and as wild as the land she inhabits, but her flowing words, trusting gaze, and enthralling submission won’t stop him from rejoining the war.
After many solar cycles of living alone, Lea is overjoyed when a tall, scarred, muscular warrior falls from the sky. Her savage stranger is strong and severe, and he makes her feel safe, an emotion she hasn’t experienced in a long, long time.
He also insists they must part. Before they do, she’ll show him the splendor of her home, and she’ll enjoy his big form, collecting passionate moments she can revisit when she’s solitary once more.
Every additional moment Lea and Tolui spend together increases the chance they’ll both die. Lea is being chased by female-hating fiends. Tolui is being hunted by the best bounty hunters in the universe. War will soon arrive on their threshold, and the blood spilled might be their own.
