April 30, 2011...Hopefully something new will be making its appearance in a few months.

...A Brief Summary of the Major Stories...
Catch Me-Finished!- The cynical youngest Princess of Meridian, Elensar, is kidnapped by the dashing King Adrian of Delran at the behest of her scheming eldest sister. Elensar must learn to survive in an unfamiliar court without knowing who her true allies are, all the while trying to find a way to just get home. Yes, there is romance. Yes, there is action. Yes, its actually based on a fairy tale: The Twelve Dancing Princesses.

Runner of Syrlan: -Finished- It's about a Runner (Liana) who is chosen by her god (Sky) to save her country (Syrlan) from the grips of its much stronger enemy (Lamar). along the way, a lot of things happen. Liana is caught, she escapes, inadvertently, she causes the deaths of a few, although they willingly die for the cause. Liana even falls in love.

Dance to a Silent Song: -In Limbo- A Scanran girl is sold into slavery to Emperor Kaddar. They will eventually fall in love. Selenay is somehow tied to the ocean through some freakish magic thing.

Promises Broken!-On Hold Indefinitely- A slight Beauty and the Beast retelling. The king promises his eldest daughter to a cold blooded mercenary. Mirian, the eldest, is not particularly happy about this, her brother isn't ready to be King yet, and her youngest sister may become the greatest Healer of them all. Oh- and one very angry lady has a score to settle with the mercenary, Thayer.

Ways To Skin A Cat: -Finished, I guess-A retelling of the lesser known fairytale 'Catskin' in which Kelryian Relandrant features as the disheveled darling, Catskin, along with her beloved Nero, also know as the Cat. Forced to marry the elderly friend of her chauvinist father when she's really "in love" witha spoiled, materialistic prince, Kelry devises an ingenious way to get out of it. Hopefully, the story is better than the summary.
