A Tale from the World of Harthis
A Ranger and a Paladin find love on the battlefield. This is the first in the Bowstring and Steel universe, set as a counterpoint to my sci-fi Solar Wind series. These are chapters 1 and 2 of an ongoing fantasy series.
This for those who want it all--cheating, revenge, winning the lottery, murder, divorce, romance, cool dogs, hot chicks, yada yada. I caught a lot of hell over on "Lit" for it either being too much of this or not enough of that. I wont even include the original 5th chapter (I'm still stinging from the stoning I got for it!). Instead I will finish it with my revised final(?) chapter. Hope you all like it. BTW this is NOTHING like my prior stories. It is vanilla compared to "Cheater" and "John".
A story set in the Pinwheel Universe
An ecological engineer is transferred to the war-torn Rask territory, site of the deposed Matriarch's deadly rebellion, where he's tasked with helping to restore the damaged jungles. To his surprise, he's quickly put in command of a pack of ex-soldiers who are more concerned with jockeying for status than learning how to drive a tractor. Finding his place in the hierarchy might be just as hard as greening the desert.
An up and coming singer is teamed with an arranger to prep her music for her first album. Things don't go well at first, but they finally start working with each other. They are both attracted to each other, but the arranger has old scars to overcome. But the singer has her ways...
