There’s just something about a woman with a sword.
Maybe it’s Freudian. Maybe it’s the juxtaposition of beauty and danger. Maybe it’s the twist on the more traditional man-with-sword image that gives me a grin and whispers in my ear, “This is gonna be so cool!” like some sugared-up 13 year-old rolling his first D&D character.
Today, that woman is Amber. Her first adventure, Amber and Stone, starts here, with the introduction of an unremarkable, balding man with two secrets — one he knows, and one he’s about to discover. I’ll be releasing new installments of Amber and Stone for the next few weeks. (Don’t worry; it’s short.) After that? Who knows. I think Amber’s got a lot of story potential in her.
She is, after all, a woman with a sword.
