| This week’s Notable and Quotable from the Bloodlines Reforged Saga. This week’s Notable and Quotable comes from Fires that Forge, Book I in the Lords of Order and Chaos Series. Uriel-Ka paced in his velvet slippers across the black marble floor of his inner quarters. He walked a specific path just inside the runed circle carved into the stone. The runes protected his thoughts from whatever mental pickpockets might be about and acted as a barrier against those that would scry his conversations and actions. He was a master of those very arts and thus sought to protect himself from same. He sorted his thoughts, recent events, and the implications they may or may not have. He reviewed, mentally, Lady Evalynne’s contracts, both written and those only spoken. He recited the intricate relationships of each person of importance or exceptional skill that called Moras their home. He still had no answers. I hope this week’s newsletter finds you all well. If you’re looking for a starter into the Bloodlines Reforged Saga, Fires that Forge and/or Roland’s Path are the starting blocks. The complete first trilogies of both are available on Amazon and can be found here; Heirs of Vanity and Lords of Order & Chaos. We have at least two more series planned (Orphan’s Blade and Templar’s Rebellion) that will go into the over all Saga. Each series is set up to stand alone, but you will find a deeper understanding of all the characters involved if you read all the series. Please consider leaving us a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. Thanks! Keep an eye out for the announcement of a winner in the audiobook giveaway of Heirs of Vanity, the boxset of Roland’s Path, Roland’s Vow, and Roland’s Triumph! You can find an ever-growing glossary and geographic guide on our website here; www.bloodlinesreforged.com. You can also find a few spoilers such as the lineage of kingdoms, the Code of the Cavalier, and so on. I need to tell you about Somniloquy, by N.E. Absolom. A Fantasy adventure for the young at heart. Another great tale comes to us this week from Deonne Williams in Fae Song. Her music is magic, but power comes with a price. We have a third book to recommend this week. Windcatcher by A.J. Norfield. If your looked for another fantasy starter series, give this one a try. On the home front, we’re going to begin creating a few videos of me reading segments of Roland’s Path and Fires that Forge which can be found on our Facebook page here; Facebook Bloodlines. We just added a new page to our website where those videos will be showcased. Here’s hoping you’re all surviving the Big Q and adjusting to the huge changes we’re all facing right now. This week we went back to our Spacemaster campaign in which I’m playing a Vulcan Anarchist. I know, weird, right? So, we blew some stuff up, broke three recruits-for-the-cause out of C-Sec jail, and almost died in an explosion set by a rival group. It was a wild session. Also, I was given two pocket books by my son and another book from Jake-the-Bearded this week. These will make for some ecletic reading; two classics and Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins…! How cool is that?  Now, for your obligatory pet-pic. I really envy their ability nap like that.  Let me know how you’re doing.
