Free Puppies

Well, if you don't want 'em, I'm sure I can find them a home somewhere! (Sarifime Beren, Age 11, Goldenflats Before the Rapture)

An advertisement for free kittens at a pet grooming place near my new office inspired me to pull this old favorite out of the archive and color it. No puppy-free home goes unbadgered in a 10mi* radius of our dauntless heroine.

*50, as soon as she gets a license for the pickup; for some reason, Justice Beren/dad won't let her drive the tractor out onto the interstate.  

Bonus iPhone sized WP version!

Tedaos of Akanxeh

Companion portrait to Vermille of Goldenflats. 

I've been working on the related novel all month, and finished a draft of the first third yesterday. Some things I learned in the process:

a.) Jumping mentally from victorian historical to post-apocalyptic fantasy takes time, even though both stories were supposed to be traditional, 3-act romances.

b.) Modeling every character's skills strictly on D&D 3.5 requires surprising in-world explanations for why some magical acts are easy and others are impossible. (Solution: Do not try.) Extra credit challenge: explaining why one needs to leave home and kill things to get better at unrelated skills, like cooking pies.

c.) When you make the heroine's mom a vampire and the primary antagonist, the story immediately stops being a romance novel and turns into women's fiction. 

Oops.

Well! I don't suppose anyone would ever want to read a women's fiction novel set in post-apocalyptic fantasy Iowa with Dungeons and Dragons-style vampires?

...no?
