Welcome to Scourge of Feathers

“Scourge of Feathers” is a serial fiction blog written by me, M. Lori Motley.

This will be an on-going exploration into the world of Barend… a rather awkward romp with the motley characters who populate this fantasy world.  Yes, there will be elves, dragons, orcs and vampires.  Yes, there will be magic spells, medieval weaponry and enchanted amulets.  Yes, there will be humor.

I certainly hope I can make you laugh!

There will be at least one new chapter every week – probably two. They will all show up on the Table of Contents page, or at the top of the New Chapter Posts page.

What is serial fiction?

Fiction is, of course, made up stories. Serial means it is released in episodes or chapters. “Scourge of Feathers” calls them chapters, and you can find new ones by clicking the “Chapters” link above.

What the heck does “Scourge of Feathers” mean anyway?

A scourge is a whip used to torture or punish someone. One made out of feathers would only be effective in the classic “tickle torture” technique. It would probably closely resemble a feather duster. 

What is with these horrible illustrations?

I’m not a graphic artist. I’m a writer. But I do have fun messing about with my Paintshop Pro and picture tubes. So, I sit down with my sons and come up with some graphics for some of the chapters.
