  • Amber Wheat: Creatures, huh? I really am partial to demons because you never know what you’re going to get with a demon. Sometimes they are truly evil representations of all things bad and sometimes they are just misunderstood citizens of a place that outsiders deem “hell”. Demons come in all different shapes and sizes. In some stories they have grotesque appearances and can be spotted by the hero immediately, sometimes they wear gorgeous skins and take the hero in with a charming appearance, and sometimes they are the normal, everyday people walking down the street. I especially like it when the demon is the hero and the “hero” is actually a manipulative, backstabbing, selfish douche. And the horns, I especially like the horns! I love smartass demons, one in particular comes to mind… Becket! I love Becket, and my heart broke when… well never mind, go read the story, it broke my heart. Becket is a fantastic demon, just enough demonness and just enough smartass, and just enough hopeless romantic! Team Becket for the win!
  • Rylie: I’m going to have to say dragons as my favorite. I haven’t read a book or story yet, either eastern or western, where I disliked the dragons. Being able to fly must be amazing. I do love that Mercedes Lackey had a subspecies called bookwyrms and their hoard was rare books.
  • Ananas: I’d love to run into a shapeshifter. not necessarily a were anything, but I’ve always loved the idea, and how (in general) they are associated with tricksters. at least in my mythologies.

Dance with the Devil now available in the Book Market!

In a world of demons, goblins, witches, sirens, werewolves, vampires, and so much more, it can be difficult to determine who is guilty of what and why. Chris White is a detective who fearlessly investigates this supernatural world, himself a unique product of it.

04/27/11: New serials and That Famous Happy End ebook!

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

Serial updates

This week, we begin two new serial stories! Moon Dogs by Erica Keeley is the first story in our new Bad Moon Rising anthology series…

Superstition abounds where the moon is concerned. It can bring love, luck, madness, misfortune, pleasure, and pain. Nothing is left untouched by the waxing and waning of the moon. Those forced to shun the day welcome the light of the moon, and work their magic beneath her gaze. Of all the myths and legends, superstitions and old wives tales, no lunar legend is as well known as those surrounding the wolves…

The Fairy’s Assistant by Sasha L. Miller is part of our Fairy Tale series:

Hayden has a fairy in his pocket—a fairy who speaks a language he cannot understand, who uses magic in a country where magic is illegal, and constantly gets Hayden tangled up in awkward situations when he helps the people the fairy tells him.

His latest task is to help a young woman who is a servant in a modest household, but all is far more complicated than it seems, for the young woman is much more than a servant, brow-beaten by relatives who keep her from her rightful place. It is up to Hayden and his fairy to set all to rights, a task made nearly impossible by the knight hunting Hayden down on suspicion of using magic.

You can read the first parts of these two stories for free! As always, you can access all current serial stories from the serial fiction page. You can access previous fairy tales from the fairy tale page.

That Famous Happy End ebook

You can now purchase the That Famous Happy End anthology from the LT3 Book Market! For $8.99, you get eight short stories composed around the theme of That Famous Happy End.

Nothing is sweeter than following a story and its characters through all the ups and downs, the trials, the pains, and seeing them finally reach that moment, that day, that place they worked so hard to gain. Be it by way of murder, magic, misunderstanding, mischief, or mayhem, we like to see them suffer. We want the struggle, the grief, the fight. We want to see them angry, confused, hurt, battered, and on the verge of giving up.

But most of all we want to see all that toil and strife worth something. We want to see the characters we love finally reach that famous happy end.
