G'morning #WIPSnips, the prompt for today is FACE.
Plenty of new faces going around in this book, that's for sure.

Artillery, to include cannons, ordnance, and crossbows, but in particular the first two since I already have a criminal supplying these to the army in the first book. I will elaborate on why this is interesting later. Money is the most interesting one, but I can't fit it to these questions.

I would love to hear what "rising up against your government" would look like for the average Iranian.

2. This is a sequel to my book Music the Devil Cannot Hear and some of these themes have already been explored there. The supply chains are those required to equip an army, food, wood, iron, transport and of course money. The government resorted to illegal and semi-legal sources for some of this.

Hi. I'm doing world building for an upcoming project, The Pirate and the Clown, in which the French campaigns of Henry V are seen through the eyes of a gay clown, of Fool, inhabiting the criminal underworld. It is a real time and place but the part of it I describe is imagined./2

A Morris Minor on Mars imagines a world in the 2050s where all such discrimination is a thing of the past.

These are not political novels as such, they're fun, sexy, romantic and adventurous. But such themes can't help but intrude.

I use a lot of this in the books I write. The Writing Machine spans from the 80s until about 2022, following a gay couple and the way discrimination affects their relationship.

Music the Devil Cannot Hear imagines life for gay and trans people in the middle ages. /3

Hi, I'm Robin. I'm old enough to remember when we risked a 3 year prison term for sleeping with a guy, when you couldn't go to the police when you are gay bashed (I was) because they'd give you worse and you couldn't even go to hospital because they would report the assault to the police. /2

Funny how "adult crime, adult time" only applies to minors.

Adult males who abuse women get to serve in the police force and government. Only kids go to jail. All the better for paedophiles to abuse them, I guess.

Khameini was about 86 or 87 as far as I can tell. I expect his successor was already in the driving seat.

I'm dropping this #pretendpanel late because I've been at the launch party for this wonderful anthology. Please consider grabbing yourself a copy, because all funds go to OutLine Aotearoa, a charity which has helped many people in the Rainbow community here in NZ. books2read.com/RainbowStars

I'm not part of your "we", Prime Minister Albanese. I don't back another war. Australia should distance itself from this madness. #auspol
