#WIPSnips 29 September 'well' My favourite thing about this novella is these two characters trying to outmanoeuvre each other. #WriteSky #indiefantasy #WritingCommunity 💙🪐📚
Wipsnips 29 September prompt 'well'

   They matched stares over the diplomatic plateau of her second-best tea service. Eventually, Hailene asked,   “Is that a threat, Ambassador? Because I can assure you, I’m perfectly capable of dealing with Alyas’s temper tantrums.”
   He shrugged elegantly. “He’s your nephew.”
   “Yes,” she agreed, setting down her cup. “He is. More to the point, all Cassana has done—all she will do—is attend Elidne-Sera’s garden parties, along with every other woman of consequence in Avarel. And if you have ever tried to prise the details of those parties from the ladies involved, you will know as well as I that what goes on there is not shared with their menfolk.”
   “And what exactly does go on?” 
   “A different kind of powerbroking.”
   He quirked a polite eyebrow. 
   She smiled. “Just so, Ambassador. So you see, there really is no need to scuff those pretty boots hiding in my flower beds.”
   He looked down and swore.

Oh I actually had 'months' in this short story.
Wip Snips: Prompt: 'Month'

All they cared was that the sky was yellow, and a storm was coming. It was a shitty night for it to happen. Months of nothing but the odd flicker of red and gold while they’d prepared for this night, and then just when they were finally ready, a storm. 

The sensible thing to do would be to go home. Then again if Kit was of the sensible persuasion, they wouldn’t be stood at the base of Salvation, dressed in a makeshift survival suit– old Martha would have a fit if she knew where that missing scrap had gone – and with the camera, they’d found in the dumplands. It weighed a ton. Some old tech, at least as old as Martha possibly older, Kit didn’t know. It worked though. Had near blinded them when they’d managed to get the power going again, and their cube was now covered in photos – mostly of Salvation, some of the scrap, even one of Martha caught mid-yawn. That had just been practice though, and now it was time for the main event.

Kit was going to see the moon.

Storm or no storm.

#WIPSnips 14 September 'month' Taking a break from wrestling with my main WIP to revise the draft of a novella in my Tales of Isyr series that has been gathering dust for a couple of years - lots of tea drinking with a bit of blackmail on the side. #WriteSky #indiefantasy #WritingCommunity 💙🪐📚
Wipsnips 14 September 'month'

   Marching into the salon where Cassana was drinking tea with her brother, Hailene tapped her cane against Melar’s ankle and told him to leave.
   The Flaeresian ambassador looked up at her with a bemused expression. “May I ask why?”
   “Because I have a matter of some urgency to discuss with your sister, concerning Alyas, and you have no need to hear it.”
   Cassana’s heart sped up. Had something happened? The company had been on an extended contract for months, working in the coastal kingdoms east of Flaeres. She’d had little news, but that was not unusual. There was no reason to think... 
   “Now, there’s no need for that,” Hailene said briskly, seeing her face. “This is a political matter, and I would like it resolved before he ever hears about it. Off you go, Ambassador.”
   Melar hooked his elbow over the back of his chair and regarded Hailene with a quirked brow and quickened interest. “A Lankaran political matter? About Alyas? This I must hear. Perhaps,” he added with an innocent glance at Cassana, “I could help?”
   “I think not, Ambassador,” Hailene informed him, settling herself into a chair. “My nephew has more than enough problems without owing you a favour. Your sister and I are quite capable of handling the matter. You may go.”

Good afternoon! It's Sunday again and I am here with another roundup. It's been a long week, and I have been fighting with a flare up due to the weather changing as autumn well and truly gets into gear; but now I am enjoying a long weekend and getting to relax. I've been playing The Blood of the Dawnwalker and I am loving it so far, although I am absolutely terrible at the fighting so that will be a work in progress (I was exactly the same with Clair Obscur); but give me creepy, scary vampires and I am content.

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is 'drip'. Here's an excerpt from The Many Shades of Midnight, a fantasy book I wrote in a fit of rage at the state of the world in which I take corrupt corporations and spineless governments and subject them to my justice... #bookqw #writingcommunity 💙🪐📚
Front cover and excerpt from The Many Shades of Midnight for Book Quote Wednesday 9 September - 'drip'

Rumour was a deadly thing, and Alyas had proved himself extremely adept at seeding it. So adept, in fact, that the tiny snippets of gossip had done what she had not thought possible and shaken, ever so slightly, the regard of the rich for the hand that fed them. He was the reason she was cooped up here instead of out there, enjoying all the rewards she had earned. Because every time she stepped outside her door, those bloody kids with their placards were there to shout their complaints and their devastating truths, turning the people against her drip by drip. 
   Gods, she hated him.
   So when he turned up on her doorstep one evening, she could not say she was overjoyed to see him.

“Are you going to explain any of this?” Chris said when they got in the elevator.


Cam darted a glance up at the elevator’s ceiling. Surveillance cameras. He resisted the urge to wave. And also the urge to answer Chris’s question. He had to be cool now, collected, not the same idiot who had picked a fight with Kenneth Lefler’s friends even though they had all deserved it. But he couldn’t resist fucking with the police, just a little.

#WIPSnips 6 September - 'sigh' From my historical fantasy WIP - are these characters changing the patterns of past generations or repeating them? #WriteSky #indiefantasy #WritingCommunity 💙🪐📚
WIPSnips excerpt for 6 September - 'sigh'

  “What do you mean to do, Darri? Will you honour Edrin’s treaty?”
   He glanced at her in surprise. Edrin’s treaty. And Edrin was dead. Yet that did not free him. His uncle might have made the treaty to end the war, but it bound him too. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I?”
   “Because when I look at you, I see my mother.”
   Gaurin gave a huff of grim laughter and would have said something, but one look at Merionn’s face stopped the thought behind his teeth. He looked down, as though he had suddenly remembered the cup in his hand, and drained it in a single swallow. Then he stood and went to fetch another, leaving them alone.
   In the wake of Gaurin’s retreat, Darraion returned Merionn’s searching stare. “Maelys honoured her treaties.”
   “Of course,” Merionn agreed. “Until she didn’t, of course.”
   “By then they were already broken.” He sighed. “And that’s the problem with these treaties, Merionn. They’re bandages over a festering wound. We don’t need endless truces with Morn, we need peace and recognition of Lyn’s right to exist, free and independent, and we’ll never get that if we’re continually fighting amongst ourselves. So yes, I’ll honour the treaty—until it’s clear that it’s meaningless, like every other before it. And then…” He shrugged. “Then, we’ll see.”
   His aunt smiled, a little sadly. “Now you sound like her too.”

Sticking with the folk horror today with a review for Bound by the Salt (The Cairnshore Tides #1) by John Togher. I had a few reservations, but ultimately I really enjoyed this one and got some real shivers from it and I can't wait for the rest of the series.

Book Review: Bound by the Salt (The Cairnshore Tides #1) – John Togher
Hello! Sticking with the folk horror today, with a review for Bound by the Salt by John Togher, the first in The Cairnshore Tides trilogy. I really enjoyed this one, to the point where the moment I finished I preordered the next two immediately (The Tidewarden, 30/11/26 and What the Tide Kept, 19/03/27).
