Two of the things authors cherish most are their readers and reviews. However, since both of those things begin with “R” and that letter was used for Redemption, I decided to take a different path and chose the letter “Y” in the hope that my reader is YOU.
To those of you who have read my tales of fantasy and adventures in worlds of imagination, thank you. I hope they help you escape from your everyday lives and bring you a touch of joy. To those looking for well-written fantasies to read, I hope you’ll consider adding one of mine to your to-be-read list. And as an enticement (or outright bribe) a special gift. Click on the FREE READS button in the sidebar for your choice of a science fiction, fantasy, or scifi romance short story.
Since this is the next to last post of the challenge, I hope you’ll grant me a moment of promotion. It is a few words from those of YOU who have read my work and been kind enough to leave a review.

Chose between magic, revenge... or the life of a loved one.
In honor of Valentine's Day, a proposal from Windmaster Legacy, Book 2 of The Windmaster Novels.
To set the stage, Lady Ellspeth has been called before her trading guild's ruling council and has been stripped of her ship and crew. Her mother, the council leader asks the group to witness a private matter. The petition from Lady Eilidh, chieftain of three holds in the Mtwan Mountains for a handfasting between her son, Lord Dal, Archmage of the World and Ellspeth. A problem is that if the Council denies the petition, she can never marry Dal.
With a lithe movement gained from turns of mercenary training and on the backs of half-wild horses, Dal dropped to one knee before Mirrim. Lifting the lid, he revealed a string of South Sea pearls. “My bride gift,” he said holding the box up for Mirrim’s approval. The guild leader, a quirk at the edge of her lips, took out the necklace and held it up for all to see.
The events of the day began to take their toll, and Ellspeth’s knees started quaking. She inhaled several deep breaths to calm her nerves. Although she knew it was only a few moments, it seemed as if her mother examined the pearls for a life span.Still reeling from the multiple shocks, she held her breath again when Mirrim finished her circuit of the table and turned to Dal and his mother. “I find the match suitable. Ellspeth—do you wish this union?”
AUTHOR's NOTE: Now this is where I usually end the reading. However, since it's Valentine's Day, here's the rest of the scene.
Ellspeth resisted the urge to smack Dal, now at his mother’s side, when he winked. Instead, in a voice pitched loud enough to be heard by all, she answered, “Yes, I do.”
