Last week I wrte about how things are progressing with my plans to write a novel in record time accrding to the apocryphal method of legendary wordsmith Michael Morcck.  Part of that involved finding a character to serve as the protagonist of the story, and I selected a fellow of dubious character but well-endowed with nerve.  His name is Gavoche and he's the subject of a short story I recently had published in Missing PiecesIII, which is a Gen Con special publication put out by Dragon Roots magazine.  I promised that I would get that story in front of you, and behold: here it is in glorious PDF format!

The fact that Gav is not the most savory fellow makes him somewhat difficult to write, so I perhaps am not doing myself any  favors with my selection.  Since he is a wizard of some stripe, I'm going to have to put a lot of thought into how magic works in his universe and exactly what he is and is not capable of.  In the meantime, however, you can enjoy this little diversion and when we next convene I'll talk a little bit about how the plotting is going.
