  • Lost Witness 2

    “Justiciar Radiant, there is a message for you.” “No thanks, it’s my day off.” Radiant sat cross-legged deep in her fluffiest chair, sipping a mug of tea that would be too sweet for a hummingbird. Her hair was down in wild curls and she wore her fuzziest robe. Her toenails were getting long, but that…

  • Golden Renewal

    “Sorry, I can’t sell you mead unless you turn this stone into a bird.” Duncan frowned at the speckled, egg-shaped rock in the tavernmaster’s hand. “I… don’t understand.” “It’s Town Law,” replied the tavernmaster. “That I do understand. Why the stone?” The tavernmaster held the egg-rock up to his eye. “This,” he said dramatically through…

  • The Nightmare Report

    One year ago, in a single moment, eleven dreamwalkers were murdered by a nightmare monster. The archmage slew the beast and saved the city. At least that’s the official story. I’ve spent this past year year investigating, interviewing, and gathering evidence to uncover a more elusive and disturbing truth. In the press conference after the…

  • Revolver Recurring

    I wrote this story for a contest. Well, it was the idea for a story I wanted to write, and I squeezed in some references to the contest prompt – which means I didn’t win, get published, or get mentioned, because that’s not really the best way to approach a contest. Anyway, it was a…

  • Lost Witness

    Quick note: this takes place after Ravenshore’s Antimagic, the novel which has just started going up as chapters. I didn’t really think about that until right now as I’m writing this post and thinking why? Why did I do that? Well, you’ve been warned, I guess. Contains spoilers for the end of Ravenshore’s Antimagic. — Justiciar Radiant…

  • A Flock of Seagulls

    “Do you like my hat?” Rick asked. The stranger gasped. “That huge raccoon just talked!” Their little group hurried away, disappearing into the nightly fog. “Wow, rude,” said Rick. He touched both paws to his furry belly and hoped the human was only comparing his height to a normal raccoon. It was true he’d gained…

  • Ghost in the Smell

    This is another prequel to Ravenshore’s Nightmare, set about three years earlier. The novel mentions an incident with detective Bollart and a sewer elemental a couple of times – so here it is! ___ “You’re godsdamn lucky you can’t smell this, Frank,” Kat said to her gun, fighting and coughing to control her gag reflex.…

  • Shot in the Dark

     “So you can get rid of other people’s ghosts, but not me?” griped Frank in a tone that would sound like he was grinding his teeth, if he had any. “Shut up, Frank,” hissed Kat. “We talked about this. Not at my fucking job.” Kat was waiting in the mid-sized but lavishly decorated lobby of the…
