His fingers wrapped tightly around the delicate stem as the rest of the plates and silverware plummeted toward the dark oak floorboards.Īs the clatter peaked, then faded away, Ori’s attention flickered from one piece of expensive china to another, from one lead crystal glass to the next. Ori made one last attempt to catch a wine glass. The dishes and glasses spilled leftover food and wine across the floor as they tumbled out of his grasp. Scrabbling at the china, he desperately tried to catch more than a dozen fragile pieces of crockery at the same time. Ori’s grip on his tray of dirty plates faltered as he hunched over them in an effort to stay low and out of range.

Then the only question is, is Ori really a duck-and what will his new master think when the truth eventually comes out? Life isn’t easy for Ori until he comes to the attention of a high ranking hawk shifter.

Raised among humans, Ori Jones only discovered he was an avian shifter six months ago. So here we go – as I said before, this is the second edition of Duck!

This was going to be a newsletter issued on the 1st of the month and with details on everything due to happen this month etc, but it’s now 1:52am tomorrow morning, so I’m just going to do today’s news and come back and do other days on other days.ĭuck! is now available for pre-order on Amazon and All Romance E-books!
