I read this in the week and it's another corker. Highly recommended -- I am starting a a series reread off the back of it.

Love novellas? How about two in one book? In Wiz Duo 2, Juliet Kemp sends a reluctant knight on a quest, while E M Faulds gives her heroine a superpower that totally sucks.

It is Book Quote Wednesday and the word is 'colour'. In Of the Emperor's Kindness by Chaz Brenchley, we first meet that titular monarch. #BookQW

Six steps climbed to the dais; he took them two at a time, more spring than stretch, while his pages scampered to keep up. On the dais stood what was often described as the most uncomfortable chair in the world, for all its padding and cushions. Its arms and back were gilded, its upholstery once more in the imperial colour, but it was still very much a chair and not a throne. He wouldn’t have sat a throne, this man, any more than he’d have worn a crown, even if either one had traditionally come with the role. He might head the most powerful nation in the world—there was some debate about it, mostly from Clath, who held that Feremendas’ star was in decline, while theirs was rampant—but his predecessors had established a low-key imperial style, and he’d embraced it wholeheartedly.

Just finished "The Sheltering Flame", the first novella in Wiz Duos volume 3 from @wtpress.bsky.social and it was excellent, a very satisfying contemporary fantasy that reminded me of Peter Beagle or Charles
de Lint - three burnt out academics discover their fixer-upper house is a magical sanctuary.

If I’d known about the carnival, I never would have arranged to meet at Flinder’s Field. Even first thing in the morning, with the machines motionless and the lights turned out, it’s too colourful, a place of forced cheer and false faces, its every strut and sign insisting that I should scream with excitement. Its presence this week of all weeks is a cruel joke made more bitter by the memories that rise as I cross the field: the meandering merry-makers, the courting couples, the young men competing on shooting ranges and shows of strength, the children shrieking in excitement or in frustration as they’re dragged home. The paper thin ghosts left by decades of carnivals, stirred up by the previous night’s ambling visitors. A place of power, sure, but not a power I want any part of.

We are almost at the end of our campaign, and closing in on £7,000. Hopefully we can get there tomorrow. Meanwhile here is an update about the supposed legendary Welsh hero, Hu Gadarn:

Today's update features a real-life Welsh princess who eloped with a young king to help lead a guerilla army, died fighting the English, and may have also been a notable author.

It's the last day of the 99p Kindle ebook deal for The Green Man's War. Don't miss out - especially if you want to catch up with Dan's adventures before embarking on The Green Man's Holiday which keen readers are already enjoying. You could get both for under six quid, just saying 😁
