The Ballad of the Grey Swan: Updates
Hi there! It’s been a bit.
Firstly, I have a new link page at Books 2 Go, that links to the book in all the stores it’s sold in one easy-to-click page. You can look there if you want to know where it can be found.
The Ballad of the Grey Swan Merch!
I decided to make some merch with a pair of images inspired by The Ballad of the Grey Swan and a good old-fashioned LGBTQIA+ slogan!
All are available through RedBubble.
The announcement: I have published a novel!
Yes! That’s the big announcement for today, the thing that’s been being counted down to in the margin and in my other posts. I have published a novel! My first novel. And I’m excited.
It’s called The Ballad of the Grey Swan. It’s a swashbuckling fantasy novel inspired by things like:
- my love of Dungeons and Dragons and fantasy
- the works of Alexandre Dumas like The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers,
- books like War for the Oaks which involve people rising up to be the equal of magical powers
- swashbuckler movies
- my desire to have a fantasy novel that reflects trans people and gay people as just people living their lives (well, as normal as you get in a fantasy world, but you get the idea) until things get weird
- and an image I got in my head and had to get out one way or another.
