When a writer gets something published, there are certain expectations. Everyone knows this. But I’m not sure what to do this time and need your help. Roane Publishing has asked me to write a short story as a free read, and your guidance would give me a place to start.
Since my only work to-date with Roane is Mexmur, The Huntress; this will be the story I’m going to promote.
If you’ve not read it yet, take a look at this:
Mexmur, the Huntress by Anna Simpson
Long ago a dragonkeeper betrayed his charges. To bring back magic, to set things right, Mexmur is sent through the portal.
Can she succeed armed with only a poem, talon and blade.
Need more? Okay. How about this.
Betrayed, the dragons fled into a portal. Years later, a young huntress and a failure of a prince join together to go after them. Not only are the dragons the only way to fulfill the duos goal, the beasties want revenge. With only an old legend and poem as a guide, and very different ideas on how to succeed, Mexmur and Recser try to return magic to their kingdom.
oOo
Here are some story ideas:
The Hunter – Mexmur was only a huntress in training when her father died. What happened to him? How? Was she there and how did it affect her?
The Legend of The Dragonkeeper – A simple man brought magic to the land by betraying he charges. Want to know more about the old legend and why it happened at all?
The Dragons – Near extinction and depending on the kindness of the kingdom, the last of the dragons trickled magic back into the land. Why so little magic? Why did they need a dragonkeeper? What happened to all the rest?
Or is there something else you’d prefer?
Please put your requests/suggestions into the comments. What would you prefer to read about?
Remember this will be a short short story so please keep this in mind when making your suggestions. I’ll try to go with the majority. Who knows maybe I’ll receive enough suggestions that it will spark a brand new tale.
Which one do you like? What questions would you like answered? What do you want more of? I’m a writer and can make your dreams come true—on paper if nowhere else.

Laura’s thoughts on Anna Simpson’s Mexmur, The Huntress
If you love dragons, this ones for you.
Mexmur is forced to enter the portal to recharge a talisman of magic. The King is willing to sacrifice her and his son in his quest to steal power from the dragons.
Can a spoiled prince and a lowly huntress survive the dragon’s breath? Or will they become a meal?
Mexmur is a huntress so she has skills to hunt the dragon. The spoiled prince has some surprises of his own and I grew to like him. These two both learn a lot once through the portal and the dragons are great teachers.
I really enjoyed the dragon characters. They had their own agenda and played a big part in the story.
