Silver Mane - Part 10

Start Here

     The village was unlike the only other one Ana had ever been in. There were shops and street vendor carts full of sweets and breads. Fish that were so fresh they were still breathing. Her eyes were wide as she explored every sight. Kavos walked beside her. He wasn’t silent, but he was more calm than she was about it all. “This place is amazing.” Her words were soft.

     Kavos let his eyes wander as they passed by venders. His ears picking up everything. He might look like a human, but he was still a wolf. “It really is nice. They also seem almost too nice. Perhaps we should stop in the tavern and hear a few rumors.” He started heading to the center of town hoping to be able to identify some sort of local watering hole. Ana followed him, keeping silent and still taking it all in.

     The white wolf seemed to find what he was looking for and he shuffled his way through the crowds. Part of him wished he could just shift and be a wolf, the wolf in him, knew better. This wasn’t the time or the place. At least not until they knew what type of people these were. He opened up the heavy wooden door and darted inside, half pulling Ana in with him.

     The inn was dark still even though it was well past noon outside. There was a small fire burning in the center of the room and either side was flanked with long bench tables. Further back there were a hand full of doors that Kavos could only expect led to sleeping quarters. If anyone had the coin. The last village had something similar but no one he ever met could afford one. He dropped his voice and moved closer to Ana. “Keep your ears open, but don’t ask too many questions.” He nodded at her and ducked over to a table that was filled with men. Some wore leather armor and carried steel at their hip. There was a mage that was lurking in a dark corner of the room but he seemed to pay the wolf-man no mind. Kavos intended to keep it that way. He sat quiet for a few moments.

     Ana had her own agenda. There was a bar maid who was pouring drinks for her servers to run, and was dealing with what seemed to be a displeased patron. The woman seemed to have a handle on the entire place. She walked up and plopped herself onto one of the bar-stools at the counter. Within only a moment the woman swung herself around to take Ana’s order. “What’ll it be miss?” Her tone was pleasant and honest, then again, the day was still fairly early.

     The blond didn’t even waste the woman’s time. “House potatoes and please tell me what’s up with the castle just a few miles up the road?”

     The maid smiled and set down her small pad of paper and leaned in onto the counter top. “Some say the place is haunted, however the lord and lady who live there, well, they’re odd sorts. They run the shipping company that seems to keep this town alive.”

     Ana couldn’t help herself. “Any rumors?” She interrupted.

     The bar maiden smirked and shook her head. “Plenty. Some say they are werewolves.” She laughed at her own statement. “But a few of us know better, there’s no wolves in these parts. Their father hunted them out long ago. What fool would kill out his own kind?” She seemed to laugh again but Ana didn’t find any of this funny. “But either way, as long as your coin is good, this place doesn’t ask any questions. Did you still want those potatoes lass?”

     Ana smiled, that what the tidbit she was waiting to hear. She nodded as her stomach growled at her. She missed human food. “Please.” She placed one of the gold coins that Stela had given her, hoping it was enough.

     “That will get you two more plates and a room for the night if you need.” The maid’s eyes lit up at the sight of the shimmering coin. It had been a rough summer and winter wasn’t normally any kinder to the small northern town.

     Ana was happy to hear that, but she was sure they didn’t need the room. “One plate is just fine. Silence would be kind as well to go with it. Perhaps can I get them in a foil to take with me, there’s a quiet spot in the woods calling my name.” She said with a hint of a grin on her face.

     “My pleasure m’lady.”

Part 11

Back and Ready for More

     That's right, Silver Mane is back this week. It was for sure a nice break, but I've really missed bringing this to you every week. So I hope you enjoy tomorrows edition.

A Game of Thrones

      I finally finished it! It has taken way too long for me, but I finally found it in myself to get through those last few chapters. Even though I knew what was going to happen I still loved every moment of it.

     Go watch the series, go read the books. Enjoy the world that George R.R. Martin creates for you. It's well worth your time. Please don't forget however, this series is fairly graphic, blood, death, rape, and consented sex. It's not done in poor taste, so don't worry on that, but I do feel the warning should be there.

Amazon Author Page

Hey everyone, just got done making an Author profile on Amazon. It's pretty neat. You can also find all of my books there.

Silver Mane - Taking a week off

     While I continue to work on the series I am taking a break from posting one this week while I continue to have the first novella edited, and I continue on with the next. I will be posting one on the following week so don't worry. Just taking a small break.

March Goals

     This one is a bit personal, but I feel like I need to write it down somewhere so that I can try to focus on it. Recently my life has been flipped upside down with the loss (not death) of a loved one. It's been very hard for me this past week or so while I try to get my life together without said dear person in my life. She was a great inspiration to me and it has for sure changed a lot of my work mentally. I've found it hard to write, and even some days just hard to function. When you live with someone for over six years, it's just odd once they are gone. Anyway, I need something to start getting me focused again.

     I want to read. I've been working on the same book for way to long now. Back in High School I could easily go through a 500+ page novel in maybe a week or two. It's taken me almost two months to get through "A Game of Thrones". So this month I want to get back to reading. That will also mean more book reviews for you guys!

     I want to publish. Sense I've gone back to working a normal "day job" my writing has suffered. I've gotten more written in the past two months that I have for half of last year, but I feel like it hasn't been enough. Yes I still want to focus on my series on here (Silver Mane) and I have a lot planned for it. I'm also starting up my Tumblr again, and I'm going to be putting a different series on there. I also want to get a few more novels out this year. Last year was 5, I want to at least match that this time.

    I want to keep writing. Above everything else in my life, I want to keep writing. Keep working towards my own personal goal.


     Current projects and status:
          Silver Mane- Book 1 is roughed and ready for editing. Book two is being worked on and ready for small chapter publishing on here.
          Tumblr series is fully mapped out ready for rough draft.
          Between Heaven and Hell is still being drafted, but at about 70% now.
          Another lesbian romance is still in planning stages and beginning draft work.
          Fantasy erotica- first draft 80% done.

Silver Mane, Book 1 done.

     Well I have some great news. The first large chunk of Silver Mane is coming to a close. I've decided to break the series up into smaller chunks of parts that will be published as Novellas. While "Silver Mane" is free to read here, the novellas will be .99 cents each on Amazon. They however, will also be edited and reworked slightly. So they will be of a better quality. So be on the look out for that soon.
