Who Is Mistral Dawn?

Mistral Dawn is a thirty-something gal who has lived on both coasts of the US but somehow never in the middle. She currently resides in the Southeast US with her kitty cats (please spay or neuter! :-)) where she works as a hospital drudge and attends graduate school. Taken By The Huntsman is her first effort at writing fiction and if it is well received she has ideas for several more novels and short-stories in this series. Please feel free to visit her on FaceBook or drop her a line at mistralkdawn@gmail.com

Strength In Adaptability...


Hey Everyone!! :-)

Here's a little bit more of the third installment in the Petri Dish Chronicles! As always, the disclaimer is that this is a draft and, as such, it's unedited and likely full of errors and is subject to revision, revamping, and being completely scrapped and rewritten. But, with that in mind, I'm reasonably satisfied with the basics of it, at least at the moment, or I wouldn't have bothered posting it. Enjoy! :-)

Excerpt from the third Petri Dish book:
“Interesting," commented Vlad.

Petri looked at him and raised her eyebrows.

“The adaptation you just made, remarkable. I’ve never encountered anything quite like it; you truly are a marvel of creation, Per Dish. I’m more convinced than ever that you’ll be able to make the connection we're looking for." Petri thought she detected a hint of excitement in his voice, which was something she never thought to witness in the perpetually practical and cynical entity.

“This is nothing like making a meld. If anything, it's completely opposite from what I would need to do to connect with someone."

“With someone but not necessarily with something,” he responded. "Regardless, it demonstrates a flexibility that is most encouraging.”
