I’m half way through Glitter Ponies and I love it. 🙂 I particularly like the hint of a darker backstory in how you’re developing the characters of Kadmeion and Bright.

  So glad to hear that you’re enjoying the story! Many reader comments on the earlier stories asked for more background about the two magic men. I wanted to provide some of it in Glitter Ponies without slowing down the action. Thanks so much for your comments.
