I've been quiet for some time now, but that's only because I've been busy trying to prepare The Last Stand, my first novella, for my beta readers. The current draft is nearing completion, and is expected to get at least one more pass for edits before it goes out to interested parties.
For those who don't know what The Last Stand is, it's a tale bridging the one year time skip between the first two books in my Legends of Galria series. It's a shorter work with less subplots, as is normal for a novella, and focuses on Dane's travels to a ravaged town called Mullead as he tries to solve the mass disappearances of nearly the entire township. The mission serves as his first time leading his troops without the help of an aide, and helps to show how he grows from a fresh recruit to a more competent lieutenant that he's supposed to be.
