[Navessa]

You can read Bisclavret (FOR FREE!) exclusively on my website starting 4/7/22. It's the first book I wrote as an adult, and I took a poll of my subscribers and they decided unanimously, that yes, I should go ahead and post this.

Bear in mind that this has not been formally edited, but I've fixed a lot of the glaring issues and taken out as much passive writing as I could. It's up as sort of an origin story. My writing has come a long way since I finished this, but there are some definite similarities between this book and some of my others. The male lead Henri is a lot like Henry from Scandal, and the female lead, Isabelle, reminds me of Krista from The Kings of Kearny

Anyway, it's free, so all you have to lose is time.
