Jul. 30th, 2016 10:05 amHoly crap, the trailer for the series looks good! It's been years since I 'read' (= listened to audio book) the book so I think I'll need to revisit it before this premieres.

I'm pimping this for a friend and a very skilled story-teller, Jay Mountney aka moth2fic. She has published another book that is very much worth a read for anyone interested in fantasy and/or mystery genre.
I will let the author explain the plot in her own words:
The story is the first in a series called The Skilled Investigators. The ‘heroine’ is a female elf who wants to be an investigator (detective in our terms) and has to solve a murder mystery before she can be accepted as a trainee. Her assistants/sidekicks are a teenage dragon who imprinted on her at hatching, and her brother. The brother is gay and provides the romance subplot for the series but there is no explicit sex.
moth2fic talks about the book and the planned series here - do go and check it out! Author is offering free review copies too!
I read the first draft of the book some years ago and enjoyed immensely, I can't wait to read the final version! Just need to sort out a eReader app for my tablet...
You can purchase the books either via Smashwords or Amazon.
Happy reading!

I can’t find an online version of the story anywhere, but seeming as it was, as said, handed out for free, I don’t think it breaks any copyright for me to retype it here for others to enjoy. The story catches a lot about what I love about railway stations (and bus stations and airports and harbours and…); that feeling of possibility, chance and change and daring. Every arrival and every departure is a choice that can be made or unmade every single time.
