Cover art for "The Prince's Journey" by M. P. Seipolt. A near translucent skull looms over a dark forest road.

"Prince Eavon begins his journey through the Gemwood to the kingdom of Jeveil. Accompanied by a set of Royal Shields who have seemingly taken a pledge of chastity, and a stuck-up old maid, the journey will be a long one. Though Eavon's wish for excitement is soon granted when a pack of female goblins ambush the carriage, and the Prince himself is captured."

It's kinda crazy how one little detail can immediately derail something. I was watching the first episode of Gachiakuta. A decent premise, if having to be a bit rushed and heavy-handed in its set up, but it has potential, and there's some nice dynamics and intrigue... and then Chiwa turns on Rudo.

Read through Nine Goblins with my gf recently. This book was my introduction to T. Kingfisher's work, and I loved it. A great bit of comedic fantasy, the Pratchett inspiration comes through clearly, though it still has its own voice and style, and I LOVED the timing of the horror aspects. #BookSky

Ashling (Obernewtyn Chronicles 3) Maybe my least favourite so far? I think the pacing is the best of the series, and I didn't notice any white room syndrome this time, but it's just... Annoying. So there's some cringey "romance" stuff in this one with Swallow assaulting Elspeth. #BookSky

Thought GotG would be the WIP for this one. Surprisingly only had two meltdowns to pick from. This one comes from a key moment for Ty and the Dons' in the Nationals semi-final. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts Check it out: www.royalroad.com/fiction/6255...

A snippet from Gladiators of the Gridiron chapter 312!

He came down awkwardly, his left leg catching all his weight, planted within the end-zone as he tilted forward. His right foot still in Jeremiah’s grasp as he tumbled over, sprawling across the painted grass.
Stringbean kept hold of Ty’s leg, dragging him against the turf, forcing him out, pleading to the officials who rushed over, whistles shrieking.
It was an interception, and a touchback. Ty had saved the game. The Dons’ offence had one last chance to win it all.
Stringbean erupted more forcefully than the crowd. It was a total meltdown, like a giant five-year old. How could they not have seen what Ty did as pass-interference? Maybe that argument would’ve worked if Stringbean himself wasn’t the one trying to hold Ty down. Their duel had been physical throughout the entire game, and for the most part the officials had been lenient—that leniency continued, and he should’ve been thankful they didn’t punish his behaviour after the play—there was no foul; the interception stood.

For the word of the day "stream". How about ye olde bath but make it magical. There needs to be some whimsy to lighten up this bleak book. From my latest Prince WIP. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

A snippet from M. P. Seipolt's WIP "The Prince in Captivity"

She smiled at him, looking to see if he’d retained any of the knowledge she’d imparted. He nodded quickly, and so slightly she might’ve missed it if she weren’t staring so intently. Finally, she moved her hand to another rune, deep blue in colour, with several uneven lines running vertical. Instead of simply hovering, this one she pressed upon, and the stone sunk about an inch deeper with a quiet grating sound. A flap opened in the ceiling directly above the pit. Eavon saw only the leafy canopy through it, but he could hear the wind raking through the treetops and leaves, and on that wind came the scent of sap and birds and life. Then, came the rain.
It poured through the opening, cascading beautifully in a dozen, two dozen, crystal streams. Sunlight danced across each one, creating a shimmering rainbow in the middle of the room as the stone pit was slowly filled almost to the brim. Haliyen took her hand away from the stone and the water almost immediately slowed to a trickle, then just a few drippings as the flap swung shut again. Even when looking at it after it had just closed, the structure appeared seamless.
Haliyen stood. As she dusted herself off, and smoothed down her skirt, she said: ‘Unless you had any questions, Your Majesty, I’ll take my leave now, though I won’t be far. I’ll wait just outside, and if you change your mind, or need help with anything, then I’ll be right here, just one shout away.’
