Okay, so Jane Harris is not pregnant by a centaur. But her best friend Cindy is hanging out with a dragon. Miranda’s been propositioned by a dog. And the sexiest person Jane knows is sort of a fish. It’s just another day in Netherfield, and Jane has “A peculiar set of friends” in chapter 18 of Summer of the Netherfield Witch. A new chapter in this serialized sort goes up every Friday. If you’re just starting and want to read the whole story, you can jump to the first chapter, and the rest are hyperlinked together.
The way things are going in Netherfield, this could become a common sight.
(“The Mermaid and the Satyr” by Ferdinand Leeke (1859-1923))

Love the painting. I’ve not seen this before. I confess: I don’t even know the ‘Leeke’ name. Oh, that is cold, dead flesh at it’s fishiest. Maybe EJBarnes is right of the infection. Maybe it’s gone beyond a ‘smell’ and developed into lethal, fatal, exit Life, welcome Afterlife.
Leeke was unfamiliar to me, too. And Genevieve’s attentions usually are fatal. Exactly why, well, your guess is as good as mine. 😉
