Star Collapsed is just a few days away!! Coming May 25th, we get another look into the superpowered Blue Star world with an awesome new cast (and some old favorites just to give you a bit of nostalgia).

WIP - The Curse of Broken Shadows

I'm always a fan of great character banter, especially between old friends. Hope you enjoy this excerpt!

“Did you not let our fireball release some energy this morning?” Boelyn’s voice startled Serill who snapped his head around. Cason just remained leaned against the pillar with a bored look on his face.

“We ran three miles and then trained for two hours in the middle of the day. I don’t know how he has any fire left,” Serill replied.

“Known him for seven years and still can’t figure out how to douse that flame,” Boelyn mused, eyes narrowed on Cason.

Serill grinned. “I’ve tried nearly everything in the arsenal. One day we’ll figure out what can soften that glare.”

“Standing right here,” Cason grumbled. The men on either side of him laughed. He shifted his glare to Serill as he jabbed a finger toward the alcove behind him. “Don’t you have Veil artifacts to fondle?”

Serill waved him off and looked back to the ballroom. “They’ll be there all night. I’m taking in the sights first.” His eyes trailed a woman with a green slip of fabric that barely covered her chest with slits that exposed nearly her entire leg.

Boelyn elbowed Cason. “Some things never change.”

Question of the Week:

If you could have any pet - mythical creature, familiar, patronus, etc. - what would you have? I'm growing quite fond of my shadow wolf in this new book series. I think I'd like to have something vicious like that on my side.
