Blessings of the Yuletide to you and yours.  Whatever winter holiday you celebrate, whether it has already passed or it is yet to come, I wish you peace, health, and happiness.  

In my latest post for The Delta Pearl, I promise not to “kill off” any important characters.  Dead of Winter is, as D. Wallace Peach put it, darker and more dangerous.  It is high fantasy, written before my style evolved to all out whimsy.  There are two characters who don’t make it to the conclusion of the 840 or so pages of the full manuscript.  Although I’ll admit they are not what I call “tier one” characters.

The winter solstice arrived on December 21st, so it’s already winter, but still… Winter is coming!  I will publish the first novelette of Dead of Winter in early January.  With that in mind…
