Hunting the Red went out and promptly returned with a no thank you. I’m in the processing of polishing it, and then it’s back out, where it will keep going until someone buys it. Nighthunter is also awaiting it’s final cleanup. I’m no longer sure it’s right for Sword & Sorceress, but it can’t hurt to try. I had a brilliant idea to make it a frame story so she starts out in her special role before the confrontation with her dad, but I’m not sure if it’s brilliant or just desperate. I had played with point of view on this one before, trying to do something special with it, but I think it’s the character that needs to shine here, not the style or the prose. Funny how blogging about these things brings clarity for me. Thanks for listening. 🙂
Oh, and I’m still working on SAD #2, but it’s got a title now: Takeshi’s Gift. Takeshi locates the orb that’s been haunting his drawings since childhood and discovers his gift isn’t what he believed it to be.
DAWN BONANNO 
I couldn’t help but note a kindred spirit, here. Good luck with the Nighthunter quandary; I struggle with the same type of thing. Here’s to someday actually having the answers, eh?
I supposed that’s why writing is an art. There are no answers; just paths we chose to take. Whether it works or not? That’s up to the editors. LOL
