Brief insights into my writing world. |
|
I started my blog in June 2016, intending to have a place to get my stories in the hands of readers. I started with one follower -- my wife. Seven years later, I am creeping toward 500 followers. I post a daily quote, as well as short stories, vignettes, and updates on our rebuilding project. You can find my Tavern Tales at: https://jjshaun.com/ Enjoy! |

Her quick hands and sharp wit had always been a source of pride—though she rarely showed it. In the village of Oxbow Landing, where every stone had a tale and every tale a shadow of its own, Kith found that the fewer people noticed her, the better. She’d spent her days sneaking through the back alleys, taking things that weren’t hers, and disappearing before anyone noticed.

| Alyssia crouched in a bramble patch, her cloak blending with the shadows. The wind carried the scent of pine and damp earth, but a far more interesting scene compelled her attention. Silvery moonlight filtered through the canopy above, casting an eerie glow across the clearing. ~~~ Read the full story at: https://jjshaun.com/2025/01/12/the-ritual/ |
| Qilynn led Tumorgi and Kharys through the streets, following the captain’s directions. Guards at the gate of the Baron’s manor house welcomed them to the compound. They invited the group to help themselves to the refreshment table while they waited for the baron. ~~~ Read the full story at http://jjshaun.com/2025/01/05/qilynn-meeting-baron-wildhurst/ |
