Annals: Year 8
Annals: Year 8
A story fragment from the Dustsong Cycle—and author updates
From the Annals of the Vaporous Realms
A hunter, long of limb and fierce in countenance, ventured by moonlight into the hollow where Ghrem and Lae dwelt with their sons. Ghrem roused his family from their beds and took hold of Len, while Lae clutched wee Sceg. Thus they fled into a thicket some distance from their cottage until the stranger had departed from their midst.
Author Note
I’m bypassing the codex entry today—the imminent Kickstarter launch and other goings-on take precedence over my usual posting this week. But here are a few addenda and miscellany:
If you read the email version of last Friday’s news about our “Watchers” Kickstarter, you probably missed my corrections and updates to that post. Once I click the big launch button on Thursday morning, the Kickstarter page link I shared there will give you the full story about the campaign rewards and other details, complete with trailer. For now, it just gives you the pre-launch synopsis. That said, if you visit that pre-launch page and click the heart button to get notified on launch, it’s a huge help to the campaign’s overall visibility. Thanks, y’all! In the meantime, I added the trailer to last Friday’s post.
I’m endeavoring to level up my mini-painting skills. Here is my take on Hugo Weaving as a Southron thaen (captain). Why the creepy eyes? This fellow’s ancestry is part spirit-folk!
Godspeed, y’all, and happy reading!
