I just discovered 'Larisa's World', a series of stories about a beautiful silver-haired genie, created by Danielle Kitten (who is also an actual published author in real life), written as a series by several different authors, including her.
I can't say a lot about Larisa's World as I've just started reading the stories in it, but I find it fascinating and try to get in at least one chapter a day (filling a void I discovered after I caught up with Samantha K's imaginative and wonderful Dragon Chronicles). So - Brad - here's two authors you can check out while I work on updating Bela.
