Introducing Kitty Ryan, the 'Volney Rain chick'

Over the past five years, I've gone from a fluff-obssessed Tamora Pierce fanatic to a raging multi-fandom harlot who likes her melodrama to really deserve the title. I have also clung to ff.net despite all its evils, and yet still it spurns me with pages that refuse to load and stories that refuse to upload, which is incredibly depressing.

There's two more chapters of this first part of Candle to go, and while I doubt they'll both be finished before January, they are comming. New Divisions is being revised as I write this, and By Grace is flowing nicely. Focus, by the by, is actually finished. With an epiologue, and Volney being obnoxious. Enjoy.

I still (although I do it badly) run the Seanfhocal Circle writing challenges at the Dancing Dove. I'd link, but every time I try and do anything mildly sophisiticated on this thing something goes wrong. The Dove is the best Tamora Pierce forumaround, and has been for a while. It's a pleasure to be part of it.

Nothing more to say, really, except that if you enjoy my writing, I'm glad.
