I’ve been trying to brainstorm what short story I should write for the harpies in that side project of mine. Can’t use feather flu for them. Already planned that for the gargoyle short story. Maybe something bone related given they have hollow bones?

I have this theory that people who were in a fraternity or sorority are more likely to join secret societies in their adulthood.

Anyway, one of the characters in today's #shortstory is in a secret society.

Happy #FaveLineFriday! This excerpt is from Grave Curiosity, my current #WIP for the Raven & Bear collection. I like it because it says a lot about Dyfed, mainly that its so safe people can be careless.

My favourite is Ata's rescue of Pere though.
