I've been planning this design for more than a month now, revising it on the plain stone slate I've mounted in my Hideaway to make it as straightforward as possible. The shower that resulted is a r...
2025-08-08 23:20:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe encampment knoll was more solid than the other had been; Kurik spent some time digging carefully to discover that a massive, somewhat porous stone of immense size was supporting the mound. Part...
2025-07-21 20:47:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe study door opens, and Vanion walks in. He's wearing a styric smock again, as he's done often since I've been here in Elenia; I find myself wondering how much of it's for comfort, and how much o...

2025-07-14 03:49:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe rain had petered out over the last few hours, the cloud cover overhead thinning as the barge had gone north. Now, as afternoon gave way into early evening, and a hint of reds seeped anemicly th...
2025-07-05 02:03:12 +0000 UTC View PostIf Sparhawk had been constrained to describe Lamorkand in a single word, he wouldn't be certain whether to describe it as bleak, barren, or wet. It was certainly bleak; Kalten's assessment that nob...
2025-06-18 04:59:23 +0000 UTC View PostI'm no major writer of note; it's a flattering day when someone communicates with me that they enjoyed one of my chapters. As such, when I proposed what I thought was a silly idea yesterday, in hon...

2025-01-02 08:26:48 +0000 UTC View PostLooks like the last post of 2024 is going to be Sparhawk and company, rather than Peter Gardner. Not really what I'd planned or hoped for, but this is what wanted to be written. I apologize for thi...

I'm woken up by a hammering pounding on the door to my private sleeping chamber slash workspace. I yawn heavily, wiping the crust out of my eyes, an unpleasant taste in my mouth. That means I was s...
2024-10-05 12:04:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt seemed to Sparhawk that his head had no sooner hit the pillow than Kurik was shaking him awake.

Not that I can blame him, I suppose. The restrictions placed on me mean he's PROBABLY not evil, but he's certainly rude, mistrusting, and about as sociabl...
