Hand of Time

The second Anya installment is officially out! Feel free to follow the link under "published works" in order to view/read it. Below I have posted an excerpt. Enjoy!

“You’re late!” scolds an old man in a crimson cloak.

In a dazed state, all Anya can manage to say is, “Who are you…”

“Who am I?” he repeats with slight amusement in his voice. With haste he hobbles to a table and chairs. Setting his staff on the floor and putting his knobby feet in a pot of water, he turns his calm, blue eyes towards her. “I am not but a humble Seer; a keeper of time if you will.” After slightly bowing his balding head, he turns his attention to the chessboard resting on the table. Moving his rook, he then waits for his invisible opponent’s t counterattack. Anya begins to think the man is daft, until the opponent’s chess piece begins to slide across the board on its own.
