Sent out a second query plus two agents added to the non query list after checking out their websites and getting sense Wasphole doesn't match their vibe. Is that overthinking? 😅

Bound together in common cause, can four travelers retrieve their stolen property from a fleeing wizard or will mistrust and selfishness see them all dead first?

Reruns are up to the 21st novelette, "Gallowglas." There is no Bride. There is no Bride. There is no Bride.

No. 21: “Gallowglas.” Looking up and up the sharp corner of a vaulting skyscraper, too sharp by far to be regularly squared, and narrow windows set one atop another all the way up the edge of it, climbing into an unearthly violet sky. There is, perhaps, in what color the leached light can strike from glass and from the framing stone, just a hint of pink.

Ever notice how fantasy characters never have to worry about getting enough sleep? They’re like, ‘We rode all night, battled demons, and almost died!’ Meanwhile, I’m useless without 8 hours and caffeine.

So close! Ten more chapters left to shrink, mostly set in Serpentis.

#wasphole #fantasylit #fantasysky #amwriting #writingcommunity #authorsky #writingsky #booksky #writersky #readersky

Picture of Warwick Castle on whuch Serpentis is loosely based. Took picture before breakfast, no tourists yet, scribbling notes on everything I could hear (birds mainly), how long it takes to walk from one end to the other etc. I got chased by wasps that day, but I left that part out.

You know, the world today sucks. But if you want to get lost in a universe where a woman leads her people to face off against a power hungry asshat and don't require spice in your fantasy reads, I'd recommend my books. www.amazon.com/dp/B08HKM54VL
