Currently, Glass Bottles (or whatever the eventual name will be), is in review. It’s expected that there will be two more edits and reviews to iron out any logic gaps and story bumps. In the meantime I’m going over book two, and doing some short story writing for fun. I don’t think any of the shorts will be published, but you never know. I just like the chance to try out ideas.

Glass Bottles Teaser
Zhirk turned Hervald over. A small bottle clung to the side of his hand. I squatted down to get a better view. It was made of an odd looking metallic glass. A small cork stopper lay on the floor.
I looked Hervald over carefully. His eyes were open and glassy. Spittle dribbled from the corner of his mouth, dripping to the carpet and soaking slowly in. His chest rose and fell shallowly, so he wasn’t dead. It was like no one was home at all. I looked again at the bottle and sounded out a small spell to see if magick was active. The moment the spell activated, I had to douse it, as the power nearly burned my eyes from their sockets. The bottle was glowing like a small sun. What the hell was going on here?
