Oh my god, finished.

Now to edit.

My husband is away for work, so I'm using the quiet-house opportunity to finish recording my audiobook.

Two chapters left, people.

I wish that was how referrals worked lol

I mean enough for a year probably

I wrote over 50,000 words this summer break and I love being unemployed.

But alas

The Queen's Necromancer Idris lost his name when he was twelve years old. His title, his ancestral home and his freedoms were stripped from him in a freak accident that changed everything. Since then, he has worked tirelessl...

Thank you!

It's the third in a series about a necromancer in service to a queen. Mostly it's about the nature of loyalty and family.

The first book in its entirety is free right here!

Surprise!

Chapter Six - The Dead-Walker's Son At next light, Idris and Riette returned to the road. They travelled slower than before. Riette was quiet, scanning the landscape; Idris had dark thoughts that would not leave him, thoughts of what hi...

It's #deadwalkerwednesday and Chapter Six is ready!

Joa gives a gift. Idris gives blood. Willard gives notice.

Nice.

Part Three: Exit Wound - XXI: Flowers - Son of Songs: Innocence (Parts 1 to 10) The lizards had the right of it. They sat in the shadow of a rock, beady eyes glinting, keeping out of the blistering morning light of three hot suns. Jace watched them test the air with their tongues...

It's #sonofsongssunday and the lizards, they know what's up.

I do actually own a concerning amount of Yorkshire-themed merchandise. Should I worry?

Hey Esme, what's it like being such a cliche?

I dunno, pretty nice actually. I sip Yorkshire gold from my Yorkshire mug surrounded by my Yorkshire paraphernalia.

Yorkshire rules actually.

The accent, I mean, not the hotness.

Moreso when he has to speak Russian, for some weird reason.

That's why sprinklers and speakers exist. Love your dream bro

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

It's Yorkshire Day, so I am once again reminding you that Sean Bean in Goldeneye is
a) insanely hot and
b) too Yorkshire to mask his accent

Chapter Five - The Dead-Walker's Son The proper disposal of thralls was mostly theoretical to Idris. As a student, the only thralls he had to practice on were his own, as the only necromancer around for three kingdoms, and the dispelling...

It's #deadwalkerwednesday!

Chapter Five is up now.

Riette gets an education. Idris makes a call. Layton pulls the strings.

I wish I was as cool as Jubilee. Sigh.

Part Three: Exit Wound - XX: Introductions - Son of Songs: Innocence (Parts 1 to 10) Jace woke to find his clothes gone. He scowled, sighed and scanned his wrist against the microphone grille on the wall. It beeped the way he expected it to and he instantly said, “Ma.” “Good morning...

It's #sonofsongssunday, and breakfast is served!

This is why I'm bad at fighting games.

Doing some guerilla marketing. God speed little book!

Chapter Four - The Dead-Walker's Son Within the hour, Idris and Riette were side by side, their horses at a heavy canter on the road to Marbury. There had been no time to pack or make plans. Riette had grabbed their weapons and two good ...

I'm back from my lovely mini-holiday, so let's get back into things with #DeadWalkerWednesday!

Chapter Four is live!

Riette takes charge. Idris goes home. The dead make a mess.

Part Three: Exit Wound - XVIV: Roots - Son of Songs: Innocence (Parts 1 to 10) In the crack of the door stood Dillon. Jace was more surprised that he was still working at the manor than anything else, but he felt inordinately pleased to see the old butler. His hair had dots of g...

Chapter Three - The Dead-Walker's Son “Ah, morning, Master Dead-Talker!” called Willard from his garden. The pigs snuffled welcomingly as Idris wandered over. “Good morning, Willard. My, Petal is getting to be some size.” “I think she h...

It's #deadwalkerwednesday! Chapter Three is available on Royal Road right now.

Willard talks pigs. Thistle attends court. A peasant has a request.

I'm an English person who now teaches in California, and believe me, the genuine confusion on these kids' faces when I tell them they have accents.

"YOU have an accent, Miss! I don't! I speak normal!"

I can identify kids who speak Spanish at home and who don't, based purely on their cadence.

It's #manonfiremonday and today, I'm asking that if you've read the book, you drop a quick review!
