Back in 2011, I wrote a humorous fantasy story called Best of Enemies. It had a six month exclusive contract, but I had forgotten it until a few days ago. Since it won't be published anywhere else, here it is.

<p>Back in 2011, I wrote a humorous fantasy story called <a href="/fiction/best-of-enemies/">Best of Enemies</a>. To my surprise, it was published by <a href="http://samsdotpublishing.com/aoife/cover.htm">Aoife's Kiss</a> and I got to see my name on the front cover of a gloss magazine. The contract was a six month exclusive and I meant to post it up on my site, but then forgotten for&hellip; well, looks like just over four years.</p> <p>Something someone said reminded me that I needed to post it, so here it is.</p> <p><a href="/fiction/best-of-enemies/">Best of Enemies</a></p> <blockquote> <p>Long-retired adventurer and cover model for Swordarm Magazine, Tima has one last adventure, to stop her mortal enemy&mdash;Rathin&mdash;from doing something that everyone would regret. Can she survive one last attempt at his tower? Will the traps finally catch her? Will her armor stop pinching?</p> </blockquote> <p>It's a little silly piece, not set in any specific world. It is also interesting to see how my writing has changed in five years (takes a while to get published) but it still brings a smile to my face.</p>
