Song of the Week

Café Tacvba, “Futuro”

Happy Monday!

Between my day job and the work that needs to be done on the house (!!!), I haven’t had a lot of time to write. You may have noticed that streaming is on hold as well. I will do everything in my power to get a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door out this week, and I appreciate your patience.

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

In This Moment, “As Above, So Below”

Happy Monday.

Nothing to report this week; the next chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will come out as soon as I can finish it, but that probably won’t be until next week.

Take care of yourselves and each other, and have an excellent week.

The Book of the New Moon Door: Chapter Twenty-Four

Pursuit

Table of Contents

The city is an inky, purplish blue, as though someone has poured expensive dye over Berend’s vision. The color obscures the lines of the buildings and dims the street lamps even as it provides its own eerie light. Through it runs the wake of Geray’s magic: bright green threads that dart through the air, swimming after their creator. 

Geray is moving fast, much faster than he should be, dragging Warder and his device. He’s still ahead of Berend as he crosses into the university’s grounds. 

I hate magic, Berend decides, as he turns a corner and a wave of dizziness nearly knocks him down. He hates Geray’s illusions and his diabolical speed, and he hates whatever Isabel did to him to make him able to see it.

Collide, “Dreamsleep”

Happy Monday!

I should have the next chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up in the the next day or two. Thank you for being patient with me.

Be nice to yourself this week, and stop back in soon!

My sincerest apologies

It has been a Week, and seeing as it’s Sunday, I’m not likely to get the next chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door out before the week is over. I should manage it early this coming week.

Thank you for being patient!

Song of the Week

City and Colour, “Woman”

Good morning. This is coming out a little late, but I hope you enjoy this song.

There will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door this week, though I’m not certain when; as you can tell, my schedule is a bit off this week.

In any case, I hope you have an excellent week, and the sun is shining wherever you are.

Song of the Week

The Black Keys, “I Cry Alone”

Happy Monday. This week, and really every week, is a good week to take some time to do something nice for yourself and also some time to send one or more of your elected representatives a strongly-worded message.

No new chapter this week, so be sure to visit the Stories tab above for anything you’ve missed!

Have an excellent week.

The Book of the New Moon Door: Chapter Twenty-Three

Rituals

“Why?” Berend asks in a hoarse whisper. “What is that?”

Isabel tucks the object from the coat into a pocket of her skirt. “A spell–prepared ahead of time to make casting faster. It’s a sort of binding ritual.”

That doesn’t sound good. “For Lady Breckenridge?” 

“I don’t know.”

Berend puts a hand on his sword and turns to the parlor door, but he stops himself before he goes anywhere. Nothing will be gained by revealing himself too soon, as much as he’d like to lop Geray’s head off right now, and Lady Breckenridge will never forgive him if he gets blood all over her dining room rug. 

The voice of an old commander intrudes on his thoughts. Think, Horst, think.
