Liars and Thieves, the 1st book in the Unraveling the Veil series, is in the final stages of… everything. Lol.
I introduced two of my main characters: Naj’ar, a goblin here, and Alue, an elf here.
To finish off the trio, here’s a peek at Talin, my changeling. He starts this snippet as a jackal. I hope you enjoy!
Talin sat on the smooth stone and scratched. Other than the vermin infesting his coat, the afternoon had progressed with minimal effort. He’d shift into his familiar self and bathe, then seek a meal of roots or greens. Something edible that didn’t include voles and other Borderland rodents. He could do without ingesting any more hair, bones, and all the other peripheral disgustingness that accompanied the gobbling down of wild meat.
He raised his nose, nostrils twitching at a new scent. The scruff on his neck and shoulders bristled.
A cat. A wild one.
Changelings didn’t stalk changelings, and something big and stealthy lurked in the jungle. He leapt from the sunlight, slipped through a natural trellis of twisted vines, and spent hours evading the panther that had sniffed him out. Exasperation surrendered into a growing sense of urgency. Head down, ears alert, he bounded over a stream and between the stilts that supported the railway spur in its treacherous descent. Already too long in jackal form, he was overdue to shift. And shifting presented some serious drawbacks.
Nose to the ground, he found the path he sought, and by twilight reached one of the tree-stands that peppered the Reaches. The ladder would present a challenge, but if he could manage it, the stand would likely save his life.
He circled the base of the tree, seeking a cache of buried crystals, and found none. Another obstacle. With a huff, he scanned the shadowed growth and tasted the air for unwelcome predators. Langur monkeys crept along the upper branches, and a shy loris blinked at him with pooled eyes, but no cats prowled the area. Poisonous snakes slithering in the trees would be the greatest threat, but there wasn’t much he could do about them. He sat on his haunches and closed his eyes.
He called up his human pattern. A cold shiver accompanied the brutal constellation of pain that sparked deep in his bones. The transformation would require only minutes, but after so long in a borrowed form, it would feel like hours.
The skeletal changes came first. He sank to his knees as his oblong skull crushed inward at the muzzle and bulged in the cranium. His neck compressed. Shoulder blades and ribcage shrank while hip bones expanded and rearranged their connections to fibulae and spine. His tail withered into a pointed coccyx deep within his flesh.
The air around him froze as he drew mass from the trees and ground to accommodate his larger size. A ring of frost crept outward from his contorting feet. Arm and leg bones elongated, and he gritted his teeth as the bones in his front paws shattered, seven pieces reforming into the twenty-seven of his human hand. He curled into a ball, breathless, as his elbows, knees, all his joints and cartilage switched to accommodate altered movement. The intensity of his pain weakened as his skeleton took its final shape and the rest of his internal mechanisms rippled into alignment.
His skin shifted last. Hair altered its texture, fine on his bronze limbs, scratchy on his jaw. Long and dark on his head.
As the ache inside him faded and his sweat cooled, the air returned to its familiar sticky humidity. His heart rate slowed. Strength spent, he could barely move, unconsciousness luring him into a dreamless sleep. Naked, he rolled to his hands and knees and rung by rung, hoisted himself up the ladder.
“Death would be easier than this.” He chuckled like a tipsy drunk. At the top, he collapsed, his legs still propped on the ladder.
Good enough, he surrendered to sleep.
Coming Soon!
Looks like tons of magic in this world!

More so than in my previous books where there was one magical talent or item. It made the books much more challenging to write. Everything had to make sense and seem logical. I did a whole draft just asking myself “why didn’t so and so use their skill(s) to get out of this situation?” It’s one of the reasons I wrote them all at once. There was a lot of going backward to fix things. 😀

Online teaching is a lot more work than teaching in the classroom, no doubt about it. However, what I discovered was that students learn more quickly and advance further in their skills than when I taught in the classroom because the online learning environment is immersive.

I’ve enjoyed all three of the characters you’ve shared with us, Diana. I can’t wait to read this book.
I love the description of the changes. It irritates me when authors describe a change from human to animal and say something like ‘His knees cracked and bent the other way.’ It shows ignorance of animal skeletons, because, as you will know, that part which they assome to be knees are in fact heels!

I’ve often thought about the tension between human sensibilities and animal instincts for shapeshifters. McKillip kind of glossed over it in the Riddle Master series, but you attacked it head on in your work. Good for you–vivid is usually better.
I’m still plugging along with book 3. Everybody will get to read them all very soon–and I’m sure your readers will love them. You do such a good job at the secondary world stuff. That attention you bring to something like “What do shapeshifters eat?” is just one example of how thorough your world building is. : )

Thanks, Cathleen. These books will all be so much better after having passed beneath your eyes. I’m so grateful.
