New Valmai Hammerhand story posted!

Big props go out to [livejournal.com profile] kphoebe, who named Midara, the Goddess of Knowledge. For any aspiring deity-namers out there, I could still use suggestions for the God of Law, the Goddess of Art, and the gods of Punishment and Reward. And the Goddess of Joy. And probably a bunch more I haven't thought of yet.

As always, feel free to comment. Here, there, anywhere. I always love to hear what you think.

Fourteen days out from Valeria, on the fringes of a deep wood, at dusk, they were ambushed as they rode past an old, tumbled-down stone wall.

ETA: 25 seems like a pretty land-mark number. Just to see, I copy-pasted all of the Valmai stories into a new word file, with their titles but without any introductions or comments. The file is 91 pages long. It is 46,091 words. I wrote the first story on September 7th, not really intending to do another. I had it half in mind that if I wanted to continue the tale, I'd swap viewpoints, and write from Wynn's perspective, and Emlyn's, and so on. That was just before Valmai reached out and grabbed me by the throat, I guess. And she still hasn't let go. Four months and over 46,000 words... Phew! What a ride it's been! I hope I've got another 46,000 in me, yet.

"It does let us know that Valmai and Ametrine make it, but it still leaves Emlyn's fate a mystery, which is the real question anyway."

Yes, I did that exactly on purpose. Because I am a bad person. Who wants to make all of my readers very, very anxious. Bwahahaha!

I ate a half of a plate of tollhouse cookies this morning, I'll have you know! *slams laptops shut and throws herself down on the bed sobbing*
