Her name is Shaifennen Roehe, the Terror of Twelvety Town. They say she doesn't ride a horse, but a tame grumper. They say she can sing skizzers to sleep and kill snow-devils with just a bit of magic string and a poisoned apple. She's fought off bandits and strong-arm boys, put the Trader Families in their place along with anybody else who wanted to rob the people who call the old Number Twelve Mine "home."Oh, and they also say she's on her way to Greenline Town with a wagonload of relics and tech from the war, and a chip on her shoulder. But Captain Ravati Aziz has guarded caravans, stormed bandit palisades and navigated the treacherous shoals of the New League's fledgling bureaucracy. Surely she can keep one fifteen year old girl from getting into too much trouble...
It's taken a while for Smashwords to ship to the various E-book vendors, but from what I can tell, the novella is up live across the board now. Gotta admit, the ideas and discussions that have been rattling about the Authorcraft section have been great for helping me examine my work. I've learned a lot here. I've got the free samples enabled on all versions, but the the Amazon and Nook formats seem the best... I'm not keen on how Smashwords formats manuscripts. Take a look at the samples and let me know what you think! (And if anybody is thinking about writing, I can't recommend Jim's Livejournal entries on writing genre as the best jumping-off point you could hope for. Jim's writing helped me learn to examine what I was reading, stories that caught my attention and learn *why* they did so. The fundamentals you're going to need are right there.)http://www.amazon.com/Terror-Twelvety-Town-Kenton-Pierce-ebook/dp/B00GZEDSIQhttp://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-terror-of-twelvety-town-j-kenton-pierce/1117550632?ean=2940148864103https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/382907
Whatever form you like or can access. I highly recommend PG's story.He writes believable/ likable characters and he knows his tech.
