Someday My Count Will Come. An I Bring the Fire Short Story

Dare is an ancient Night Elf (please don’t call him a vampire!) keeping secrets from his own kind and seeking a Night Elf that has gone renegade. Penny is only twenty-four, seeking her lost sister, and hiding a secret as well. To save themselves, and save Dare’s people, they might have to risk letting their secrets go. A story that proves blood may be thicker than water, but family is where you make it. *** This story was originally released in an anthology called Vampires of the Caribbean. I heard the name of the anthology, and had to write a story for it, just because I knew Dare would find the Caribbean torture.

In A Fire Story, Brian Fies shares an unflinching account of this tragedy as he and his wife experienced it—including losing their house and every possession that didn’t fit in their car. As the fires continued to burn through the area, Brian pulled together A Fire Story and posted it online. It immediately went viral.

A Fire Story is a candid testimony of the wildfires that left homes destroyed, families broken, and a community determined to rebuild. This updated and expanded edition includes thirty-two pages of all-new material, extending the story past the events of the hardcover edition to include updates on the rebuilding, wrestling with insurance, wrangling with contractors, the management of sometimes volatile emotions, and the threats of yet another wildfire.
