16. Stone and Cloud: In the Time of Indigo Cloud's Eastern Colony

(Note: this is the first part of a multi-part Stone and Azure story I'll continue in the next couple of Patreon posts, depending on how long it turns out.)

Most of the time, Stone did...

Update

Just a note, I'll be at Comicpalooza in Houston this week, so the next Raksura story (#16) will be posted on June 28.

15. Moon and Celadon at Indigo Cloud

Celadon asked, "Did you ever remember anything else?"

Moon shrugged his spines. He said, "No, nothing," and hoped she dropped the subj...

14. Malachite and the Sky Copper Clutch at Indigo Cloud

Frost didn't understand why the teachers were all so agitated. Queens had visited the Indigo Cloud nurseries before. Jade and Pearl, of course, but once Zephyr from Sunset Water. It was nothing new. A...

Schedule Update

Just a note, everybody, that the next Raksura story will be posted on May 24th. That will give me a bit more time to work on it.  The next novel, The Harbors of the Sun, is due on June 1, ...

13. Jade and Balm: at the Court of Opal Night

Jade said, "So, that...  Didn't go like I thought it would."

Balm had to agree. They had assumed Malachite was just a queen trying to get an advantage over another court. They had been so w...

12. Teaching the Fledglings to Hunt: In the Time of Indigo Cloud's Return to the Reaches

Moon always took the Sky Copper clutch out himself. Not that he didn't trust the Arbora and warriors, but he hadn't been much older than Thorn when he had first learned to hunt and he thought...

11. Moon and Stone, Crossing the Southern Drylands

They had been flying all night, taking advantage of a strong south wind, and Moon was relieved when Stone circled down to the valley. It wasn't an ideal place to stop and rest, but at least it was the...

Crosspost From the Blog: Raksura Week

(Since this is the release week for The Edge of Worlds, I'm cross-posting this.  I'll be posting new eleventh story snippet here tomorrow, April 5.)

(Raksura week: It's like Shark Week,...

10. Jade in the Golden Isles: In the Time of Indigo Cloud's Eastern Colony

Jade took one last look at Moon. He lay sprawled face-down on a low couch in the center of the open court, his hair still wet with saltwater. The white clay walls reflected the sun and made the court ...

9. Tempest and Ember: At the Indigo Cloud Court

Bark and the other Arbora arranged the bower and the tea set as if Ember's life depended on it, and it took Ember several tries to shoo them out. "She's my birthqueen," he reminded Bark. "It's too lat...

Some Notes

For people who don't follow my blog, I wanted to post this here too: 

I'll be doing a signing for The Edge of Worlds at Murder by the Book in Houston, TX, on Saturday April 9 at...

8. Jade and Balm: In the Time of Indigo Cloud's Eastern Colony

Jade climbed down the wall toward the garden of the teachers' court. She stopped above the doorway, clinging to the stones of the vine-covered lintel. She could hear the Ar...

7. Bramble and Rill: In the Time of Indigo Cloud's Return to the Reaches

"Rill, are you down there?" Bramble called. She stood in one of the large curving wells in the bottom of the tree, below the work areas and store rooms. The walls here had no carving, the wood left ro...

6. The Death of Dash: In the Time of Indigo Cloud's Return to the Reaches

Moon was warm and buried under the blankets, Jade curled around him, when

someone said quietly, "Jade?"

Jade sat up and leaned over the side of the hanging bed. Still half asleep, Moon sho...

5. Jade and Balm: in the Time of Indigo Cloud's Eastern Colony

Balm looked up as Jade dropped into her bower from the ledge above. Her expression and the angle of her spines made what had happened plain, but Balm said, "I guess Pearl wouldn't change her mind?" 2016-01-05 00:59:46 +0000 UTC View Post

4. Moon and Stone: the Time of the Eastern Colony

Flying over the plain was hypnotic, the wind sending waves and ripples through the tall grass like a deep green dryland sea. The day was so dreamlike, seeing the sky start to darken toward suns...

I want to thank everybody again for supporting this Patreon.  I'm scheduled to get the roof leak fixed tomorrow, and this really helped make that possible.

The next snippet post should be o...

3. Moon and Chime: In the Time of Indigo Cloud's Return to the Reaches

Moon had one of those questions. It was something that seemed obvious to him, but knowing how tricky Raksuran customs, particularly Aeriat customs, could be,

he decided to ask Chime about it. "When...

Thanks for the wonderful comments!  I'm glad you guys liked it. Though I do want to come up with some snippets that are more up beat.

For December I should be posting snippets on the 8...

2. Things Left Behind: In the Time of Indigo Cloud's Return to the Reaches

Note: This is set between The Serpent Sea and The Siren Depths

"We knew there was a block somewhere around here," Snap said as he led Moon and Chime down the spiraling r...

Thank you all for the comments!  This is fun. :)

I'm thinking at this point that the second snippet should be ready to post on November 17th.

1. Stone and Cloud: In the Time of Umber Shadow

Cloud woke slowly, conscious only of being curled on a fur pallet in a warm bower. After days of tense, rapid travel through the suspended forest, with only brief stops for exhausted sleep in the rain...

I just wanted to update everyone and let you know I'm almost done with the first snippet, and I'll be posting it here on Tuesday, November 3.  Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks so much to everyone who signed up! The response to this has been awesome and I really appreciate it.  Thanks to everyone for all the kind words in your comments.

We hit both goal...

Okay, here we go! I'm still figuring out how this works, but I'll start working on the first snippet post and we can go from there.  At some point maybe we can figure out extras and rewards and t...
