I'm thrilled to announce that Good Intentions: A DragonEye Novella, will be published in serial in The NEW Midnight Diner. (They are currently fundraising via indigogo, which I talked about on Monday. If you are a fan of Christian spec-fic with a rough, realistic edge, please consider helping them out. Like all fundraisers, there are prizes, including a chance to be a character in the novella.)
Good Intentions is one of the serious DragonEye stories, dealing with murder, immigration issues, and racism of a different kind.
The story opens when Guster Brody, an immigration officer, is found dead by his wife--an obvious suicide. Or is it? Guster is a faithful Catholic, and Sister Grace is convinced he would never commit such a terrible sin. Mrs Brody insists that her husband was troubled. Grace, however, is not alone in her suspicions. Brody had helped several Faerie folk gain US citizenship or legal immigrant status, and one of his former clients approaches Vern and Grace with her suspicions. The next morning, she's found dead.
While the police chalk that up to anti-Faerie gang activity, neither Grace nor Vern--nor the deceased woman's husband--are buying it. As thier investigations get closer to the truth, the villain gets more desperate, sending a wight to possess Grace and even trying to blow up their car. Who else must die before Vern and Grace discover the killer.
Hey, for $80, it could be you!
I'm so excited to write this story for The Midnight Diner. I'm looking forward to the challenge of writing a serial again. (My first one was World Gathering, which became Magic, Mensa, and Mayhem; and I have some others I've done as fundraisers that I plan to publish as novellas in the future.) I also think The Midnight Diner will be a terrific quarterly magazine. Please check out the fundraiser, and in 2014, check out the magazine itself.

DragonEye Stories in Loose Chronological Order
Folks have asked me where Greater Treasures fits in the "Vern canon." (It makes me laugh that no matter how I try to identify this as DragonEye, folks call them "Vern stories") Here are all the stories to date, published and unpublished, in a loose order as Vern has lived them. If they are available to purchase or read, I've included the link.
