The first chapter of the new Arilee story, retitled “Take Me Away”, is now up on the website, and has been submitted to both Lit and Storiesonline.  Make sure you vote for it at whichever ( or both! ) of the places where you usually read me, if you read it here.  Feedback would be wonderful too!

The first chapter of the new Arilee tale is in Roust’s hands for editing.  As soon as it comes back, it will be posting everywhere I post.  I’m going to post the chapters “in progress” on Storiesonline as well, so nobody has to wait for Ari.

A prequel to Blackhawk Hall, this is the story of Ari’s life before she left on her long journey – “Seasons of Love”

Once I finish this tale, I’m going to start the sequel to Blackhawk Hall as well, so there is plenty of Arilee on the horizon =)

I also have an Alicia story that has been percolating for quite some time, somewhat similar to Casting off Convention, delving way back into Alicia’s time before she met Thakkor and everyone else.  It may start going down “on paper” soon.

On top of that, my Winter Holiday contest entry is brewing in the back of my head ( A very personal story to me, set in my world – but well outside anything to do with Danica ), along with my next Laresa chapter, a continuation of Blinding White outside the chain, likely in multiple parts.  I may possibly start writing some stories from the decade Laresa spent with Clint in Outlaw as well.  Those may end up being my first website exlusive stories.

Quite naturally, the first few transition stories from Danica to Sisters of the Mists are building as well.  I’m just taking a little settle-down time before I launch into another epic ~_^

Also added a new map, the ground floor of Blackhawk Hall, to the Maps section.

Nearly done with the first chapter of my ( still untitled ) Arilee story.  I’ll probably finish it tonight and get it off to Roust for editing.  I’ll be posting this one in chapters as quickly as I finish them, both at Lit and S.O.

I updated the S.O. Portal a bit too, as well as the local copies of my Laresa stories to link up S.O. readers to the chapters they haven’t seen, and provide links to Danielle’s Miranda and the Prince along with the others.

I got my first ever troll PC on Harvest of Blood =)  Now added to the Troll Mail page with my one and only Troll email.

Back to writing.

Roust was up for a challenge, so I sent him Danica 20 and Epilogue to edit, so those two tales are getting a double lookthrough before they post.

Harvest of Blood is in the queue at Lit, and at S.O.  It will go live at Lit on Oct. 01, but should be up at S.O. before the day is up.

Still working on the Ari tale, my next Laresa, and website updates.  I’ll keep everyone posted on Danica, promise!

Well, I’ve got a patch on my internet problem that should carry me through until my regular connection is active again.

Danica 20 and Epilogue are both off for proofreading.  My Halloween story is back from editing.  The new Arilee story is off and running.  I have my research done for the next Laresa story.

I just updated the short stories page, adding in Outlaw and changing a few things around.  The individual stories now link back closer to where you clicked to read them.  More website updates to come.

I’ll post here when I submit Danica to Lit.  The wait is nearly over.
