Cover art for my new fanfic, Lightning’s Bet.

Story Description:

Max Taranis has set out to find a new life for himself outside of Ponyville, but that task has proven to be more difficult than he originally thought. He drifts from town to town, looking for work and a place to call home with no luck whatsoever. That all changes once he meets a fiery pegasus mare named Lightning Dust, who helps him find work in an odd little town far north of Ponyville. They quickly become the best of friends and things seem to be looking up for Max…

…except for the loneliness.

Now that Max has a tolerable home and a stable job, he seeks a romantic partner in this equine-ruled world, but nopony seems to be interested. That is, until Lightning Dust makes him a bet that she can find him a mare who’s more than willing to give him a chance.
