Some short works and a web serial for some reading this week!
On this lovely day, I thought I would shout out to my various Serial Fiction (WIP) and published works! Hope you enjoy!
Inkwell of Shadows
(In Progress over here on Fabled Horizon Press / Worlds of Kummer Wolfe Newsletter!)
Newlywed, but not newly-dead. At least, not yet…
Daniel Hawthorne thought marrying his long-time fiancée, Cassidy—a shapeshifting bat-creature called a skinshaper—would be the hard part. Especially compared to quitting his workaholic job as a software engineer to run his late uncle’s antique shop in a quiet Southern town.
Sadly, not so much.
After a supernatural enemy crashes their wedding night with blood and fire, Daniel and Cassidy barely escape with their lives. The old storefront is smashed. Their honeymoon? Ruined. To rebuild, they’re forced to take a dubious job investigating a set of antique fountain pens. Ones with a long and deadly history in their wake.
Now they find themselves caught up in a century-old problem steeped in ink and blood. At the same time, a mysterious figure is also looking for the pens—and is willing to kill anyone to get them. Worse? It all might have ties to the monster that nearly murdered them.
To protect home, sanity, and each other, Daniel and Cassidy must uncover the truth—at least before their names are written in blood.
Kingdom of the Slithering Maze: A Windtracer Tale (Completed! Not yet in Print!)
Always bet on a Windtracer when a deadly relic is on the line…
When an old debt calls in Windtracer Tela Kioni, she turns to her companions Kiyosi Valchar and Mikasi Zenia for a little help. They quickly find themselves in the fractured kingdom of Jata, chasing a sacred relic thought lost to history. A device that nearly toppled the world.
But they’re not the only ones hunting it.
If claimed by the wrong hands, that relic could reignite ancient war machines and plunge Jata into conquest and chaos. Caught between zealots, treacherous nobles, and cutthroat thieves, Tela must find out who to trust. Not to mention whoever had the bright idea to plan mass murder on a scale the world hasn’t seen in centuries.
All while she has to keep her friends alive… and figure out who the “right hands” really are.

If Books Could Kill… They’d Start with Him
Doctor Pedro Sangre thought it would be simple: recover an old book, the Codex Luminari, from a half-sunken ruin, survive the swamp, then walk away.
But it was never really that simple.
When the Codex Luminari is stolen, Pedro finds himself at the center of an impossible plot with a horrific conclusion. Unless he can uncover who’s behind it all first.
As necrotic magic spreads across Jamaica, Pedro and his companions find themselves hunted by murderers, pirates, and death golems. Worse still, a mysterious figure stalks them from the shadows, eager to tear through anything in his way… maybe even death itself.
Dark Device of the Great Chasm: A Windtracer Tale
(Available on Amazon and generally where books are sold..
https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Device-Great-Chasm-Windtracer-ebook/dp/B0F6KHN3BN/)
Lost secrets, ruthless rivals, and a relic that could unmake the world... Explorer and Windtracer Tela Kioni thought she was chasing old myths. Then a long-lost journal revealed the path to a forgotten relic of the Ancient Order. One buried deep in the nightmare depths of the Great Chasm. But she’s not the only one on the trail. A brutal mercenary guild called the Crimson Company will stop at nothing to seize the artifact for their enigmatic backer. A mysterious man obsessed with reviving the Ancient Order’s darkest legacy. The deeper Tela goes, the more she realizes the relic may be far more dangerous than anyone guessed. Because the true cost of the past? It’s sometimes paid in blood.
