Okay, as part of what I promised. Here is the link to The Wildwose, a free Urionverse SS you can download from Smashwords.

Cheers

Rayo

Oh, yeah, the link is   http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/32297

This is a great short story! But then again I'm biased...  ;) I also highly recommend downloading and reading Sudden Dearth, the link for which is in Rayo's signature.

Well done sir!

Many thanks. Glad you liked it. You can download 40% of Sudden Dearth or sign up to my FB page or blog for more. I will keep posting more chapters of Urion's Belt on the Non BT page.

Thanks again

"In turn they tested each Clan namesake
in trial against the Ice Hellion's mettle.
Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said, "And that is how we shall be."

Accepted as an FB Friend. Have a look on BTU and CBT and you'll see some more free stuff - Euthan Palace is the latest.

Don't worry - I'll keep writing. The next publication on Smashwords will be a Four Short Story anthology set in the Urionverse. My idea is to include the following:

The Dark Wheel - spin the wheel and take a chance
Four Minutes - not a second more to save the world
Knight's Charge - The Wildwose with a twist
Eternal - everlasting life, but not as we know it.

There still could be a change as I'm n two minds about the fourth one.

Okay, progress so far

Dark Wheel - Complete and ready to go
Four Minutes - Ditto
Knight's Charge - last editing
Eternal - ending in rewrite

I was thinking of posting this short exclusively here on Shattered Dawn - the only place to read it before it is included in an Anthology for sale on Smashwords.

May be it might bring more traffic to SD?? Only members can read it perhaps?

Then, I would like to see if anyone has an idea for artwork.

Oh, as the title says, it's pretty dark ;)
