"The Kahbid-Dai" is a short story I wrote in the course of about three days while at work. I wrote it during lunch and when I had nothing else to do. It was a random story idea, just something that popped into my head without any connection to anything else I was working on; at the time I was completely focused on The Desert Throne and everything connected to it. However, I really loved "The Kahbid-Dai" when it was finished, and I happened to have a link thanks to a friend to a publisher perfect for this story.

I submitted, and "The Kahbid-Dai" was published by Iris Print as part of their first anthology, Connections, in September, 2006. I’m VERY excited by this, and I really hope Connections sells well. Hint hint, nudge nudge.

As a result of Iris Print publishing "The Kahbid-Dai", I began toying with the idea of expanding the idea into a novel in its own right. Expand the idea has, and I've been writing bits and pieces. My hope is that Iris Print will want to publish the book when it’s done, which would be wonderful.

So, right now the novel's working title is The Hakkan, which is totally and completely subject to change at any moment. This is the section of the site devoted to this project, so enjoy!
