I love that song. I used to have the 45 a long time ago. I played it a lot.

Hi folks! Just popping in quick - don't have much time to stay. The Shepherd clan has a big day today - we're having a great time on our trip.
Thought I would add a little suspense to your morning with the next episode:

Today's episode: Hauerdred
“So, cousin, what was it you wanted to see me about?”
“I do not wish to interrupt.”
“Please Lord Braeghe,” the Seeress said, “Pay me no mind. I am eager to hear what brings you to the library.” Her smile was sweet, but Gaalen caught a devilish twinkle in her eye.
=His lips tightened seemingly of their own accord, and he forced his face to relax.
“Very well. I assume you heard of the murder in the palace, yes?”’
Siere’s brow furrowed, but excitement lit up Uwen’s face. “Oh yes! Terrible thing, and right under the Queen’s blessed nose! Oooh, I bet the Royal Guard got a stern talking to for allowing that to happen!”
“Perhaps, that I don’t know. What I am about to tell you, you are not to divulge to anyone.” When they nodded assent, he said, “The person killed was an under-valet – a man. Not much is known about him, he was relatively new. He was killed in his own room. It was quite gruesome – he had been flayed alive. There was blood absolutely everywhere, even on the ceiling. His kir was pitch black, and the flesh around it had been....well, cooked.”
Siere grimaced.
“Flayed alive in his room. Interesting. Was the skin found?” asked Uwen, matter-of-factly. Siere gave him a shocked look, but Gaalen was used to his cousin.
“Yes. It was in the room also.”
“In strips, I assume?” Gaalen nodded.
“You should check his neck for a small wound. Were his lungs hemorrhaged?”
“We found no wound on his neck, but now that you mention it, there seemed to be blood coming from his mouth. I assume that could have been from bleeding in his lungs. How did you know that?”
“Sendal Clane’s Hauerdred. The main character – Hauerdred – is pursued by a demon of Ngak that takes the form of a bleeding apparition. The creature kills several people – first it immobilizes them with a poisoned thorn – that’s the wound in the neck - then it flays their skin in strips while they still live, and finally it kills them by suffocation. It keeps them alive during the flaying by dark power from Ngak – that is why it probably seemed as if there was more blood than should be possible. Now, you found no puncture from any thorn, you claim. However, Hauerdred was written in ancient Ultar. They were a barbaric patriarchal society, and did not use kir. I wonder if perhaps our victim’s kir was used in place of the poison in the thorn. Although, it would have to be an incredibly strong Command to keep a man immobile while you took off his skin.”
Gaalen was horrified, and unconsciously he lifted his hand to his own kir. “That is just a story, though. This is real – this happened, I saw the body myself. Are you saying Clane’s story was real then?”
“Of course not. Hauerdred flies to the Greatmoon in a magical mountain. Ridiculous. But that part of it may have some truth to it. It’s too close not to be, don’t you think? Rather makes one wonder about how Clane acquired such dark knowledge, yes?”

Good morning John!
Shep, bravo! What an interesting turn of events! I enjoyed reading while sitting here sipping my coffee.
Poor kitty has to take liquid medicine not once, but twice a day for two weeks. Good Lord! I have to hold Kya down while Mark opens his mouth to give him the medicine. It's over quickly and Kya forgives us quickly. Animals are so amazing with their love.
Have a beautiful day my Sheddites!
