OK, maybe not really… But sweet click-bait title, right?
There is a story behind this, of course. It goes a little something like this:
Me: (Hands Mark the manuscript for Quicksilver.) Here’s the new Lasniniar story that’s coming out in December. Iarion and Barlo are in it. It’s about when they first meet Felara.
Mark: So it’s a Christmas story.
Me: Well… Not exactly. I mean, it takes place around Solstice, but it’s not a Solstice adventure, per se.
Mark: You mean like Die Hard.
Me: Um… yes? (Full confession: I’ve never actually seen Die Hard.)
So yeah. Quicksilver is an Iarion and Barlo, Solstice-adjacent adventure featuring Felara that might possibly be like Die Hard. (But probably isn’t. I forgot to ask Mark for a follow-up comparison after he finished reading it.) Decide for yourself! 😛

Barlo isn’t a fan of Iarion’s new friend.
The strange, unnamed woman arrives from out of nowhere, and seems to know far too much about the legendary elf for Barlo’s taste.
Iarion is more intrigued than concerned. After all, Barlo’s suspicious, dwarven nature has been proved wrong before, and the woman seems friendly enough. But Barlo can’t help but wonder…
Who is she? What does she want?
…And why is she so interested in Iarion?

Coming January 16th
Felara is looking for followers.
…Worshipers, to be precise. She does want to become a goddess, after all.
And why shouldn’t she? All her other Unborn cousins and siblings are doing it. Besides, Felara has big plans, assuming her glimpses of the future are accurate.
All she needs is the right group of humans—and the right circumstances—to start a new religion.

Other cool news:
- ALL paperback versions of my books are now linked up to the Kindle versions on Amazon, so you can easily find both formats.
- ALL paperback covers are finally showing as updated on Amazon to accurately reflect the new designs. (Still working on ironing out the correct Lasniniar series numbering.)
- Expanded ebook distribution is in the works to include platforms like Google Play, and a whole bunch of English-based, foreign retailers I wasn’t reaching before. (This is fairly new, so it’s going to take some time for my titles to show up on all the sites they’re being sent to. I’ll try to do a post in the new year with a somewhat comprehensive list of all retailers/platforms, but let’s just say my quest for world domination is coming along nicely.)
Happy Solstice!
