StephanieVega I, for one, would love to have that element mixed into the fantasy I read. 🙂
Nice work there! I do a lot of fantasy/paranormal writing but they sometimes veer towards the erotic (e-books are huge now!) I wonder If I could get away with submitting something along those lines.
Just finished up “Painted Truths” and liked it quite a bit. Sort of a cross between the old PC game Bard’s Tale, the Old Testament with some Greek philosophy at the end. I’m not sure having an guardian angel diminishes what the old man accomplished. Who said a hero has to accomplish everything on their own?
I wanted to leave a note for Ms. Baxter and let her know how much I enjoyed “Paying the Troll.” I always enjoyed Troll stories since first hearing them in elementary school. The gentle and compassionate nature of the Troll in your story was a first! I liked how he was very reluctant to to hurt anyone. You may want to consider turning this short story into a children’s story book with colorful illustrations. It has a lot of positive messages and I believe children would thoroughly enjoy it!
Been waiting for Ravenous Flock Part 2. Ocamyr seems pretty grouchy about those nobility rings. And those feisty vultures sure know how to pack a punch!
I feel for that old man and assassin in Painted Truths. The assassin somehow needs to get his principles right. Man, I wish I had a guardian angel guiding my life now.
