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

Perceptional Quicksand...


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 Shifting Paradigms:
Vlad led them down a side alley that grew progressively narrow as they walked. Just when Petri thought he would have to turn sideways to continue, he seemed to disappear into thin air. She turned to look at her friends, who just shrugged in return. Turning back to where their guide had disappeared, Petri took a deep breath and moved forward.

From one step to the next she moved from a cramped alley to a cavernous room. As Daji and Chessie followed in behind her, she realized they were in a massive warehouse-like space. Petri looked around for Vlad and saw that he had moved so far into the room she could barely see him anymore. In fact, the longer she stood there, the farther he seemed to get, though from what she could tell neither of them were moving. 

“Chessie, do you see what I’m seeing?" Petri asked
