  • Lifetime Supply

    Wally Tens had never been to prison. He sat behind the wheel of his purring Dragonsilk coupe, squeezing the luxuriously padded grips in time with his laboured breathing. His three-sided coin dug into his right palm where he held it for luck. Wally tried not to hyperventilate as he stared at the pool of golden…

  • Brigadier’s Case Files: Psychic

    This month’s short story is not quite an epilogue to Ravenshore’s Antimagic despite happening immediately after. It’s also pretty far from a prologue to Ravenshore’s Memory despite happening before. I wouldn’t put it in either book. But it’s a bit of a bridge of the two-year gap in a way I might have more of…

  • 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…

  • A Gallery of Hundreds

    Piper doesn’t want to move out of Ravenshore. Her only problem: a few thousand centipedes and their representative spirit.

  • The Burnwillows

    Duncan isn’t a hunter and doesn’t want to be. He may not have a choice.

  • 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…
