Fantasy Romance
I had taken so much to charity shops already. The house was almost empty. Almost ready for a new owner.
Hard to believe it was the same place I had spent a few weeks every summer.
There was almost nothing of my great-grandmother left.
I sat in the middle of the bedroom I had once shared with her and cried.
The rest of the family had already come and what they wished. Not that there was much.
My great-grandmother had always lived a simple existence, finding more pleasure in the lush gardens she’d kept even at her age than in the house.
She preferred nights on her porch swing watching the stars telling stories to whomever would listen.
I was really going to miss her. I wish I would have made the six hour drive out to see her more often.
She’d been close to a hundred. Maybe even had been a hundred. Birth records and such were not what they are today.
She’d been born a few miles from the home she’d eventually lived in for over eighty years.
The home she’d died in.
And the home I had come to clean out.
She would’ve been one hundred this year.
I’d talked to her the week before, and she’d been looking forward to getting a letter from the president.
So hard to believe she was gone.
Ruthless. Unforgiving. Unrepentant. But it just might be everything she needs.
Forced to apprentice to a powerful necromancer, Leikar endured pain and suffering no mortal should. Now a formidable mage in his own right, Leikar escaped his dark lord, and his unique skills earned him a place in the Holy Kingdom of Tamryn. He’ll do anything to keep his new home, anything, including marry a woman that despises him.
Three years ago, Annabelle’s husband was murdered, shattering her world and revealing a web of lies, treason, and infidelity that dated back long before they were married. Now she’s rebuilt a new life for herself, and she has no intention of ever letting herself love again. Especially not with a dark and dangerous mage.
But the past doesn’t forget, and as old enemies threaten to destroy them, Leikar and Annabelle have to make the ultimate choice. Can they embrace love and forgive the past, or will they be swallowed by the darkness?
I am working with a new cover artist, and I hope you love her style as much as I do. A Bride for the Dark Mage will be coming out in January 2021!
I am taking a short hiatus from blogging.
While I have enjoyed crafting the micro fictions, they take up a lot more time than I had planned.
I am also struggling a lot with the demands of work, home, and writing in the time of COVID. While I keep hearing some people have more time than ever, I have found the opposite experience.
To be totally honest, I had considered putting all of the hours I have spent writing the micro fictions into writing a longer piece that I could either post here or simply give away to you for free.
With that in mind, I am taking the month of December off of Micro fictions and use it to focus myself on getting my bearings on blogging, my writing and how I am going to fit it all in with a demanding day job and family.
