A Wastrel’s Tale is published

Should be available on Saturday, Sunday by the latest, Amazon is a little irregular in how long of a delay between upload and being available for sale.

Tale stalled for months due to a plot failure at the end of Part II, and required an extensive re-write and lengthy review to get into shape.

This one was a struggle for me; the setting and concept stayed solid (necromancy in a pike & shot era), but the main character’s motivations and role resisted being defined for a long time. I tried to move a bit away from my usual character types, trying to expand my abilities and scope of a writer; in the end, I can’t say that I really accomplished that, but I tried.

Other projects await, and no later than Monday I’ll be crunching words on the next book. I hope everyone enjoys Tale, and leaves a good review.
