I am cross-posting this first chapter in the Chasing the Bard feed. If you want to keep getting this new story of the Fey in the future you will need to subscribe here

In the near future the Fey still survive in our world, eking out their Art and clinging to the hope their world will return. A dark stranger faces a memory of his past, while a lost and lonely writer begins to dream. In the English village of Little Penherem nothing is quiet as innocuous as it seems.

Including the voice talents of Tee Morris and Martyn Darkly

Promos

Free Will and Other Compulsions

Well, it happened again. Third time in a row DragonCon has rejected me as a guest. The insult stings, yes it does. Every other DragonMoon Press author is awarded this, but apparently someone prepared to fly 7000 miles is not. Someone who got to #3 in Fantasy on Amazon is not. I should say here, that I am NOT asking for a room etc, just to be a guest.

The last two years I have been guest of other authors and that was fine. I sucked it up and accepted. But this year with three Sir Julius Vogel nominations, as well as Chasing the Bard, Erotica a la Carte and the amazing success of Double Trouble under my belt, I felt I was seasoned enough to get guest status. 

So I am sorry, if you were looking forward to meeting me at DragonCon, talking podcasting or writing, or just hanging out- I apologise, I won’t be there. I have had offers by others to be their guest at the con, and while that is lovely- it’s the principle of the thing. Until I am an official guest of DragonCon I won’t be going. If you feel like taking this up with dragoncon@dragoncon.org then please do.

I’m sorry if I am letting any of you down, but the insult is a little too much for this one kiwi to take. This year is different. A year of change. If that makes me a bit of a diva, then after hours and hours of hard work over the last ten years, I think I deserve that much.

Oh yes. The dark goddess will not be bothering stepping through the veil for this one.
