Fantasy Novels on the Web

I was delighted to find that two authors whose novels I have really enjoyed are now posting new fiction online.

Karen Wehrstein is on LiveJournal as karen_wehrstein. She is currently revising and posting her two novels Lion's Heart and Lion's Soul online, recombined into a single book, The Philosopher in Arms. She is also writing a new book, set after the first two, ars kraiya ("Beyond the Sword"). Visit her website, Chevenga Lives, to enjoy these manuscripts. She has written some of the best characterization scenes I have ever read, the kind of thing you photocopy and tack to your office wall labeled, "Like This."

Shirley Meier is on LJ as zyngasvryka. She is writing a new book, Eclipse Court, over on Blogspot. It's set in the same world and timeframe, but from the perspective of a different character.

Both of these projects are cyberfunded creativity. If you want to see more goodies like this, please go throw money at the nice writers. If you are too broke to donate, then you can help by promoting the projects on your blog, Twitter, StumbleUpon, etc. instead.

Thank you so very much for linking to these! I am a huge Fifth Millennium fan (through S.M. Stirling) and greatly enjoyed the creative works of both these authors.

I've long been a fan of the series myself. It turns out that karen_wehrstein and zyngasvryka have plans for several more novels in this setting. I am filled to overflowing with SQUEE at this news, and determined to spread the word in hopes that people less broke than I am will make donations so the authors will be enticed to continue. Plus of course doing one of the things I do best, leaving comments, because comments are candy.
