Home. How nice that sounded. I picked up the crate, blinking at the moisture in my eyes.
Ivan broke into a run when he saw the carriage.
“Stop that,” the master growled at me, taking the crate in one arm. “No crying unless you’re dying or maimed. And maybe not even then.”
I swiped at my eyes. “Yes, yes. I know.”
He fished in his pocket and handed me a handkerchief. “I’m going to need more of these,” he muttered to himself.
I took the handkerchief and put it in my pocket for later. For now, my tears had disappeared.
From Bramford on this sunny winter day, the future was bright.

About the Author
Jane is a confirmed notebook addict (the doctors say it's incurable), since to her every blank notebook represents a story that needs telling. For years she has jotted down tales of every sort, most with a liberal dusting of magic. She loves writing strong female characters who grow into strong women.
Tethered by Blood is her first book and book one in the Counterfeit Apprentice Series. Jane is a busy aunt to 43 nieces and nephews and lives in the Pacific Northwest or Intermountain West, depending on who you ask. Her first masterpiece, entitled “The Biggest Pumpkin in the World," was written in crayon shortly after she learned how to make words into sentences, and is her greatest literary work to date. It is, unfortunately, not in print.
