The Patch Man is up at Paizo.com

My latest short story, "The Patch Man," is up at paizo.com (at least the first chapter is -- the rest will come soon). It takes place in the world of the Pathfinder RPG which, if you're not familiar with it, is very similar to D&D, but with a lot of its own twists. "The Patch Man" is about a half-fiend named Blit who makes a living cleaning up evidence for the less-reputable guilds in Pathfinder's largest city, until he starts getting in over his head.

This marks the second short story I've sold in *mumbles* years of writing. At this rate, you can expect a published novel from me by 2040. Oh well. In the meantime, I'll just get back to work on the most anticipated RPG of 2015.

Rough, right?

Anyway, enjoy the story. Did I mention it's free?

I don't think she falls down...

"She turned a corner. Her toe caught in a crack. She fell."

How many times have we all seen that same exact scene repeated and repeated? And it isnt like it has any purpose, she gets up onto her feet the next second. Or the male hero comes to save her in the nick of time - in other stories and movies.

Its nothing but a bad habit, a horribly overused cliche that is there completely unintentionally.
But when you consider it then it works directly against any kind of heroine, as it would work against any kind of hero or male protagonist, if it would just happen to him.

And i even liked the story despite that and few other things.
