Silent Blade (06/02/2009) – novella
She lifted the lid off the pot, releasing a cloud of aromatic flavor into the kitchen, and scraped the herbs into the soup. “What is it you want?”
“You.”
“Why?”
He frowned. “I’m not sure. But I’m plagued by dreams involving your breasts and honey.”
Her eyebrows crept up. He caught a hint of blush on the tan smoothness of her cheeks and found it at once elating and erotic.
“It’s quite adolescent of me, I know,” he said.
“You break into the house of a complete stranger, force yourself into her kitchen, and suggest that she should surrender her breasts to you so you can satisfy your honey dripping fetish. What woman could pass on that invitation?”
I read Grace of Small Magics, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. It was stand-out amongst most of the short stories in the entire collection.
uummm….. are there going to be more kin books?
I adored Silent Blade and I hope that one day we can revisit that world!
(Novel-length would be great!)
I, too, just read “Grace” and agree with Caroline – it was a standout in the collection, so much depth, thoughtfully planned. I especially liked the ‘slice’ of the world we got to see, nicely controlled and introduced.
Thank you for writing!
I bought Silent Blade through Amazon, and absolutely love love love it. Could you write more about this world, pretty please?
