Shadows & Splendour's reviews have been humbling, and Radiance & Revenge is coming together like the trilogy's conclusion can't wait to be written. Chapter 1's quote spoke loud. What do you think?

Do you keep tabs in your browser open forever? Because I do. I might want to refer back to this picture a guy on Reddit took of his cat while he was sitting on the toilet 183 times a day, so I can laugh every time. #voidcats #cats

Questions are dangerous, cause they have answers, Charity.

Text on graphic: She could hear the soft snort of amusement. “Shall we play a different game then? One where we are trading in information? Best pose your question carefully. Because you know there are some I cannot answer. And if you refuse to answer any of mine, then the game is done.” Carefully, she considered that. “I agree to your terms.” “Then, pose your question.” He bent his head towards her, waiting as though it were a dare. What questions from the past would she answer, given this power? She considered the history that lay between them, stretching back to their mamas before either of them had been born. “What did my mother really do to start such a rivalry between our families? Do you know the truth?”

I am totally consumed lately. It is hard to believe we have less than 10 chapters to write.

Picture text: Peregrine only wished he could be a fly upon the wall when Sidmouth had a chance to learn who pulled his arse out of the fire. It would stick in his craw until the end of days. To his credit, Ravenscroft didn’t dismiss this out of hand. “It is a good thing that the Prince Regent is well in his cups tonight. He will be easy to convince to go along with this madness.” “Do you think he will remember enough of tonight to also protect us from the Queen’s wrath?” “I wouldn’t count on it, Canary,” Ravenscroft barked a laugh. “I hope you can do without your beauty rest. We will have a great deal to do very quickly, and there will be even more explaining to do afterwards—to a great many people.”

I've got a twofer of the word of the day in this section of Shadows and Splendour. Hm, should I edit one out? 🤪

Text on image: “Ha, hahaha,” Red gasped as he lay against the cobbles, shaking with laughter and spitting blood. “I would appreciate a good joke myself,” Peregrine said, slipping his hand casually into his pocket to withdraw the knife. Just in case. “You didn’t know.” Red rolled over onto his side, flopping like a beached fish. “You’re not the one who did for your mum’s lads. Don’t waste breath lyin’. If it’d been you, that two-faced bastard of yours would’ve slit me feckin’ throat, not given me a wee love tap to the skull with a brick wall. And we wouldn’t be at this little jig now, would we? You pokin’ around to see what I know, tryin’ not to show your hand.” At a distance far enough the man couldn’t reach, Peregrine squatted down on his haunches to better look Red Hand in the face, resting his elbows on his knees as he lazily spun the knife in his hand. “That fancy footwork of yours was clever, I’ll give ye that. Had me thinkin’ Hodges was the only one who knew how to stir a real scrap. Turns out you’ve a bit of fire too.” Red Hand propped himself up on his elbow, swiping the blood off his chin. “Ah now, don’t go bilin’ over just ’cause you’ve had your measure taken. There’s worse ways for your night to take a turn. And look. Now I know somethin’. You and me, seems we’ve got the same problem. And in a place like this? I reckon that is enough to make us friends.”

Still busy working on Shadows and Splendour! Lots of work to do for July.

#writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts #WIPSnips #historicalmystery #regency #booksky
Text from work in progress reads: On the darkest night of the month, an evening that suitably matched the blackness of his thoughts, Peregrine Fitzroy planned to deliberately seat himself in one of the empty armchairs nestled in the bow window at White’s. It was a brassy move, laying claim to what even he still thought of as Beau Brummell’s chair. But that was the nature of this game. Establishing one's dominance in these circles required a certain penchant for bluffing—especially when one was on their back foot. Or flat upon their arse, proverbially speaking.

I love these kinds of plot summaries. Give me more.
Text meme: Mary Poppins, a beautiful story where a nanny and some parkouring chimney sweeps teach children, through the medium of witchcraft, about class war.

A royal betrothal, the poisoning of a foreign prince. And the villain isn't the only thing working against this duo. Can there ever be a chance for redemption—let alone love—between this star-crossed pair?
