This scene is from Book 12 of Legends of Windemere. It is totally out of context, but I’m feeling impish.

The small group walks along the edge of town and heads for a cabin that sits at the edge of the forest. Bees float among the flowers that fan out from the path that heads for the front door, which is wide open to let fresh air into the building. A long shed runs off the back of the house and has vented windows that are constantly releasing sweet-smelling aromas. There is a collection of stools near the workshop, which the local children use to spy on the candy maker when she works. With the upcoming celebration, the area is abandoned and the smell is that of whatever chocolate is left over from a busy week of work. The tattered remains of several black bows are strewn across the property, which leaves one on the roof. Four daggers are sticking out of the wooden shingles around the decoration and the travelers note that their placement is rather sloppy. A gentle creaking followed by a harsh grinding greets them, but the rocking chair on the porch is empty.
Nyx braces herself for the same greeting she gets every time she comes to Haven. Putting a hand on Delvin’s wrist, she stops him from raising his shield. Minutes pass in silence, so the visitors approach the building and make it to the porch. A lithe figure drops from the eave and lands behind Nyx, a pair of sabers crossing in front of her neck. The cloaked warrior presses the blunt of the blades to the half-elf’s flesh, which creates red marks without drawing blood. A burst of wind knocks the person’s hood back and reveals Kira Grasdon, her emerald eyes wide with anger.
“Give me a very good reason why I shouldn’t kill you,” the brown-skinned woman whispers. A flicker of heat rises from the red line that runs from the tip of her hair to the bottom of her spine. “Don’t think your friends will help you either. Start talking, big sister, or I’ll flip these swords around.”

What a tease! You were indeed impish. 🙂 But that’s the way to make us crave more!

This is #12 and only 8 are out so far. If I can maintain the schedule and pace then this would be next December. I’m writing them far in advance since I have the time and outlines. This way an emergency won’t stop the rest of the series from being finished.

At least you know what’s going to happen. I still have no idea how the end the second book of a series I’m working on. And you’ve got other stories that you’re working on that will debut sooner.

Might sound like a weird idea, but what about thinking about the third book. So if you have anything for that one, it could lead to ideas about the second.
