Dr. Mabel Watney tilted her head and looked at him in a mixture of disbelief and exasperation; it was a universal matronly expression that silently screamed "What did you just say to me?" Veniamin smiled to himself, glad that at … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Veniamin Kovalenko, Werebear Detective

Fiction Friday: Veniamin Makes His Mark
Part two in a set of stories about Veniamin Kovalenko, the detective/fixer I'm playing in a Dresden Files RPG.
