Almost a year ago, Jessie Mihalik gave us a fun romantic short story as a serial on her website, more-or-less for Valentine’s Day. It was called Books & Broadswords, and I still have my fingers crossed for some merch. I really liked the story, and would love (very minor spoiler) a Books & Broadswords bookstore t-shirt!
Now she’s done a companion short story, Rocks & Rapiers, set in the same world, although with different characters. And woo-hoo – it’s also free on her website. This one was completed not-too-long ago, but I’ve been having a bit of trouble with my website, and just now was able to post it. Here’s a link to the intro page about the story, and the rest of the chapters link from there.
It’s also nice that Books & Broadswords is still free and available to read – info and a link are available in this previous post. I don’t think it really much matters what order you read them in, but it never hurts to read the first one first IMO 😀…
And of course, Mihalik is also the author of several fun space-opera-ish books, a few of which I’ve reviewed: here and here and here and here and here. Whew!
