“Dead Souls” was a story that I wrote specifically for Cobalt City: Dragonstorm, a small anthology of stories about a dragon invasion of Cobalt City that the founder of the shared universe wanted to put together. But the roots of the story came from an earlier Cobalt City story I’d written, “Double Angel,” which introduced Evan […]

“Double Angel” started out as a Drawlloween prompt that I turned into a Cobalt City story. This was the first of the Friday Jones/Dulcamara stories I wrote, with the main character based on the character I’d played in a Cobalt City University game. She wound up being the sensible one of the group and was […]
