Roses and Thorns

Long ago, when writing  Path of the Dragonfly, I wrote a few "stories" (side stories and back stories) which filled out some of the lives of my characters. Not Shak, who prefers being overlooked, but Sefal, Arla, Celia, and Falin. There's a lot of romance in the stories, but that isn't all they are.

The day before yesterday, someone on Facebook mentioned Lulu, a self-publishing website, and I remembered I had an account there, from long, long ago.

So I went there and, impulsively, I put those stories into a book. It's not for distribution, only for me, family, and a few friends. In two days, I formatted the stories and made a cover. I called it "Stories from the Vale: Roses and Thorns". I should get a proof copy in a week.

I'm still a bit stunned that I did it. Oh, well, Randi is thrilled, and my brother wants to read them, so... I didn't waste my time. Besides, it was fun.
