test


Though I drink more than I should, I’m not much of a drinker, so that isn’t what drove me to take shelter in this particular bar on a rainy, North Carolina night. It was my unfinished business with Smith, and maybe, just maybe, it was a compulsion to be near my old home.
I grinned at that thought.  Once that had involved a very real compulsion.

Thursday

now and then
Summery

In one night the old Wizards’ Council was overthrown. In a single battle most of the wizards were slain. But not all.
Everyone waited for the counter attack.
But nothing happened.
 For two centuries the counter-revolution has slept. All that remains of the old council is a mysterious blue jewel and the specter of a young girl wandering the island of Seamount. The young girl, Glory, believes she is more than a left over weapon from that long-ago wizards’ war. Glory is sure she is human, has a body, and a purpose.
It is just that she has no memory of them.
Then one of the original rebels steals the jewel. The effort to recover it reunites Glory’s mind with her magic and her memory.
Now after all these years, the counter attack is coming—and it’s coming like an avalanche two hundred years in the making.
