Love that cover art!
Leaf crouched like a spider in the narrow alcove, the stones of the floor pressing cold through her leggings. Her long, thin limbs were folded into as small a bundle as she could manage. She closed her eyes and leaned forward, listening.
From the hallway came the sounds of movement: the scuff of boot soles on stone, the clink of mail shirts, the rough whisper of men’s voices, too low to make out the words. Leaf inhaled slowly, willing herself to fade into the dark recess.
A moment . . .

With the amazing support you splendiferous people have generated, Leaf Falling is sitting at number 10 in the listings (by number of orders and followers), which means it shows up on the "Leaderboard" for anyone who clicks on the contest link. This is a huge accomplishment, and I can’t thank you enough for helping get it there. It’s going to be a challenge to keep it up there, so keep up the excellent work of spreading the word! You are all spectacular humans.
