Even in a lonely place
There shall be no fear
For a protector walks with you
Turn, and nothing is seen,
even in the moonlight
But she is there.
Even from the distant darkness
there is strength in her words
A Friend
“Su– sugoi…”
“That’s the ring. That’s the ring we found in the jewelry box in Jessica’s attic.”
“It’s made of sapphires.”
“Miss Shannon picked it up. I wonder if we’ll be finding that ring again soon?”
“My ring?”
“Shannon-sama! Looky! We gots another question from my Jessie’s Letters page!”
“It’s hard work to keep up with all the e-mail.”
“It sure is! This one’s about your book Call of the Huntress. It’s from ‘Sirea’ and they said ‘are we gonna put the whole story of Call of the Huntress online cause they really wanna know what happens next!’”
“We sure are! Call of the Huntress is the third book in the Ajan Warriors Series and it’s the sequel to Palace in the Sky, so we sorta have to continue the story, right?”
“Yeah, ’cause I wanna meet your big magical kitty-kat, cause I’ve never seen a midnight cougar with blue eyes before!”
“Well, I just might be able to arrange that after I get my treasure back and learn my powers as an Ajan Warrior.”
“Arigato Shannon-sama! If you gots a question or a comment or just wanna say “Hi Jessie and Shannon-sama!’ you can send an e-mail to meeeeeeee on my super-neat super-sugoi best on the whoooooole site Jessie’s Letters page. Ja ne minna-san!”
“Hey everyone. We’ve had quite a few updates for the third book in our series, Call of the Huntress, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of what we’ve previewed so far.”
“That’s a great idea Shannon-sama!”
“Thanks, Hoshi! Okay, our first preview was By the Light of the Stars which is the story of the Warrior of the Night battling reptile-like monsters called Carcs.”
“Yucky. I don’t like monsters.”
“The second update was a four-part series called the Plot Against the Vicereine, about a noble in Aventar who gets attacked by evil assassins. Here’s Part One, Part Two, Part Three, and Part Four.”
“The Vicereine seems like she’s real strong. I hope we don’t have to fight her.”
“Yeah, but she gave that little boy a silver coin even though the price of the flower was a lot less. I think that was really nice.”
“Yeah! That was nice, huh? I wonder what a cruss ring is though.”
“So how come you decided to do a preview roundup today?”
“Guess.”
“Ooh! You’re gonna have another preview?! Realeeeee?”
“Check back later today everyone! A brand new exclusive preview from Book Three of our series Call of the Huntress, right here. See ya then!”
“Don’t miss the new preview! Ja minna!”
