A Short Hiatus

December 1, 2020 by Elizabeth Drake

His hair looks better than mine today.

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.

Free Book! Hunting a Dragon

November 21, 2020 by Elizabeth Drake

Careful. Sometimes you find what you’re searching for. 

Boredom is an enemy the powerful wizard can manage most of the time. And it’s better than danger. At least until he’s offered the opportunity to search for a long-extinct dragon.

Best of all, it means the beautiful, if by-the-book, Knight of Valor he’s secretly admired will be coming with him.

And they’re not really going to find a dragon…

If you are currently signed up for my mailing list, then you should already have received a link from me to download a FREE copy of Hunting a Dragon.

If you haven’t signed up yet, you can sign up now, and I will send you a link for a Lesson in Seduction AND Hunting a Dragon.

A Quick Update

November 7, 2020 by Elizabeth Drake

I have come into a bit of wisdom…

Normally, you would see another short in my serial shorts today.

But, as I tend to do, I have stretched myself too thin.

I am going back to taking weekends off of blogging. I truly need the time to focus on my writing. My day job and family have become more demanding, not less during the pandemic.

I may eventually move to a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule again. I don’t want to, but we will see.

I have also moved almost completely off of Twitter. I found it was sucking too much energy whenever I checked it. There’s a lot of great people there, but there is also a lot of negativity. I am trying to protect myself from that now more than ever.

You can still join me over at Facebook. I tend to offer little snippets of research for current projects, things that inspire me or the like.

As always, that you for understanding. This has been a long journey for me, and it is always changing.

“From today forward, you will work for the city guard. I will take you to the palace where you will begin your training,” the elegant woman said.

“Am I really going to work for the city guard?” Jade asked.

The elegant woman smiled. “You will use your skills for the Crown. That might take you to the city guard. Occasionally.”

“We did not know you were there. And we normally know everything. There are two choices for one as skilled as you. We can recruit you,” the elegant woman said.

“Or?” Jade asked.

“Let’s not discuss the second.”

Micro Fiction: Making of a Shadowguard 17

17 Jade

Jade hadn’t waited long when an impeccably dressed woman entered the sanctuary, offered a prayer to Dracor, and sat beside her.

“You must be the child that almost cost the king his life.”

Jade swallowed hard but didn’t deny it.
