A free shortie in the Kate Daniels arcanepunk fantasy series revolving around an apocalyptic Atlanta.

If you’re interested, there is a chronological listing of the Kate Daniels books on my website.

My Take

This shortie is primarily an exchange of text messages between Curran and Kate, with those tomatoes the opening salvo to what Curran really wants to know.

It’s lucky for everyone that Kate is a walking encyclopedia of myth and monsters, lol. Even better that Conlan is so curious and capable, lol.

Of course, Kate is concerned that Conlan is spending too much time with his grandfather. All that lecturing. I doubt it was what the kludde had expected.

The Story

Ya know how kids are always getting into things? Yeah, like that. For Conlan is conversing with a monster borne of a stagnant pool in the Cape Fear River.

The Characters

Kate Daniels, a one-woman wrecking crew, is married to Curran Lennart, the former Beast Lord of the Pack of Atlanta. Conlan is their precocious son.

The Title

The title is all about that poor kludde “Getting Distracted”.
