Excuse me. I have work to do. Evil plots don’t just make themselves.

Waveson. 1. Such goods as after shipwreck do appear swimming on the waves. “Having gathered together a rather dubious assortment of waveson, I contrived to remain afloat in as dignified a manner as possible until the rescue vessel arrived.”

THE SWAN KEEPER: “Girlhood, courage, nature, and flight from a tyrant’s hand in post frontier Montana.”
This is one of my favorite books that I’ve written. Inspired by Mary Renault’s book “The King Must Die,” I tried to make it as magical as hers.

"Well, this book is really something! First off, and perhaps most importantly, I can’t remember the last time I laughed out loud so many times while reading any sort of book."
Crimson Queen by Oliver T. Bennett.
Yeah.

I find I’m still puzzling over Shotgun Man and why he would have been carrying a shotgun in the first place at that time of day. Pheasant season hasn’t started yet, it would seem. Maybe he just likes taking random pot shots at squirrels or the odd fox.

I’ve been feeling really poorly for what seems like forever (about 2 weeks, all in all) and it’s been rubbish. But now I’m much better and have made some spectacular roast beef with all the usual accompaniments and stupid amounts of gravy and things are super once more.

Meara McBride wants to be a fashion designer and doesn't have time for a relationship. Lieutenant Paul Choy wants a girlfriend, but is too shy to do anything about it. Can a wacky scheme to make Paul a ladies man bring them closer together?

As shadows claim the corners once held sane.
Yet in this dusk where peace dissolves to dust,
A stubborn ember glows beneath the ash—
For even as the final calm must cease,
The human heart still aches to call back peace.

Our history is a lie. The real war is for reality itself.
What if the most significant events of the 19th & 20th centuries were battles in an ancient, magical war for the fate of all creation
