Coastal Magic Con Recap
We had a lovely time at Coastal Magic Con. It was a smaller con, which meant that we could actually sit and chat with people rather than hurry from one panel room to another. Both of our panels in Room A had the same excellent moderator. And we got to spend time with Jeaniene Frost

Sanctuary: Chapter 5 Part 1

Farhang was still asleep, Kor lying on his chest. The korgorusha’s eyes were fixed on the window. The iron hound, Roro, and the rest of
