    Backstory: A Lesson in Kindness

    I don't have much to say today... [There is a collective gasp, and two readers faint] So, this entry will be rather short. [Cheers and applause ring out]

    Anyway... moving on.

    Backstory: Little Filly Lost

    First, some context. The Dark Steel series is a spin off from The Quicksilver Chronicles. The private investigator Dark Steel is first mentioned in chapter 3 of One Of Us where he helps Quicksilver and Misty find a lost friend. Those events are retold from Steel's point of view in

    Backstory: The Painless Murders

    In the story One of Us I introduce a private detective, Dark Steel, that Quicksilver and Misty hire to help them find Tinker Cob. He was a fun character, but didn't get nearly enough screen-time. So I decided to tell the story of the search for Tinker from his point-of-view. That story because

So here are my OCs Quicksilver and Misty, from the story series The Quicksilver Chronicles, laser etched on both sides of a stainless steel blank (89mm x 65mm, 3.5in x 2.6in).

And if you made it all the way down here, I'll note that the first chapter of second story in the series published tonight: The First Adventure

It was a fun project, and watching the live-stream of it's creation was really cool.
