Nara’s Story in Sword and Sorcery Magazine

When Nara Flynn was inducted into a magical sisterhood, she imagined herself a bulwark against evil, defender of the vulnerable. Escorting an Imperial tax collector did not live up to those expectations. But Nara discovers she can tell her own story, no matter where she is.

Nara is my favorite of my many characters. She is fearless, brash, and funny. When I write her scenes, they flow so easily, it’s almost like typing. Why is she unforgettable to me? She’s my partner, Deb. Someday Nara/Deb will star in her own novel. A scene in Spirit Sight didn’t make the cut, so I’m happy this short story found a good home.

You can find it at Sword and Sorcery Magazine.
