Happy 2019!

Hope you all had a safe, fun new year! We took Bucky and Xena on a hike to the beach, where Bucky learned waves are not to be trusted and Xena learned sand is awesome for digging. They also got muddy. So muddy. You have no idea how muddy*.

I also wrote a bit about what I carry in my day-to-day go-bag, as a service dog handler. Read about it on Twitter. https://twitter.com/JordanSBrock/status/1080282948744687616

On the fandom front, A Midwinter Prince is over 25,000 words! I'm working on chapter 9 now, and I'm probably 1/3 of the way through the story. It's a modern paranormal royal AU (Merlin/Arthur) based on Netflix's A Christmas Prince.

Merlin is a journalist sent to cover the Midwinter Ball in Camelot, celebrating Arthur's twenty-fifth birthday. The question is, will Camelot's Playboy Prince follow in the footsteps of his mother, Queen Ygraine, or abdicate and go back to a life of partying his way through Europe? And if he abdicates, who takes the throne?

Rated teen or mature (not sure yet), no warnings apply. Merlin/Arthur, Morgana/Leon, Gwen/Lancelot. Gwaine is a flirt, Percy is an underwear model, Uther learned parenting skills from John Winchester, and Kilgharrah is a scheming bastard as always.
 
Wish me luck getting through the next paragraph! Once I can get this scene kicked off, I'll hopefully be able to wrap chapter 9 (tomorrow?) and get started on chapter 10. I really want to get this finished ASAP so I can get back to the giant, still-untitled, still-needs-a-britpick epic crossover.

What are you all up to these days?

* This is only the first coat of mud, which he got on the way to the beach. The hike back to the parking lot added a full second layer, halfway up his body.
