    ABOUT THE FIREBIRD’S REGRET

    Is the firebird’s past catching up with her?

    The brakes on Harley’s official police vehicle fail, sending her and Bohdan Trask into an icy river. Only Harley’s special talents save them.

    Harley can’t dismiss the incident as a mishap, for the coincidences swiftly pile up after that, including her catching a frightening glimpse of someone from her dark past. But is it merely her stressed out imagination, or is the threat real?

    The Firebird’s Regret is part of the Harley Firebird urban fantasy series of novelettes, which is set in the same world as Taylen Carver’s Magorian & Jones series.

    THE STORY SO FAR…

    Harley von Canmore is a firebird, one of the rarest of the Old Races. The Old Races are former humans who survived the Tutu virus, only to metamorphose into other creatures. Goblyns, who are called orcs in North America, are the most common. There are also hobgoblins, dwarves, fae, angels, dryads, dragons, salamanders, sirens, avancs and water leapers, each aligned with one of the elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

    The town of Falconer, in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, had a population of one thousand humans. Without exception, all contracted the Tutu virus. Now the residents are becoming Old Ones, without official status in Canada and scrambling to survive. The town’s mayor, Akicita Frazier, hires Harley to police the town.

    Harley was a decorated Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer before her change. She resents the loss of that career and is in denial about her new life as a firebird. She also serves two masters; the law, which she has sworn to uphold, and Campbell von Havre, a dragon elemental to whom firebirds are subject. Her cop instincts tell her Campbell is not the simple businessman he appears to be, but he does tend to put the good of Falconer first.

    Campbell seems taken with Harley on a personal level, but Harley knows their disparate ethics will clash sooner or later. The Mayor of Falconer’s newly-returned-home ex-military brother, Tiriaq Frazier, has also openly declared his interest in Harley.

    In the meantime, Harley must maintain the law, while learning to use her new skills to do it, even though the work challenges all her beliefs and ethics and daily provides insight into the Old Races she is now a part of. Plus, the town of Falconer is learning to pull together, to work for the good of all, to survive in the face of harsh winters and the indifferent world of humans.

    Now read on…

    THE FIREBIRD’S REGRET

    Harley studied the view from the back verandah of Moira Falconer’s grand old house, trying to find something to say that would adequately convey her feelings. There has to be at least two hockey rinks’ worth of garden… she breathed.

    Close to four, Bohdan murmured, beside her. As one of her two police officers, Bohdan Trask rarely sounded dazed or even
