I have a pretty good inkling who’s going to win the favourite character poll, but in the meantime, here’s a sketch that got out of hand
'"I made tea," she said, stumping into the room and holding out one of the mugs. "Roasted almond."
[...]

Zane won the character poll, so here she is!
A few weeks ago, I did an illustrated edition of The Winding for a charity auction. These were some of my favourite sketches!
BIG NEWS!!!
The Ticking, sequel to The Winding, will be available January 1st, 2024, from Literary Wanderlust!
In this exciting sequel to The Winding, everyman-turned-hero Mikalai Gloucester finds himself swimming far out of his depths.
Two weeks have passed since Denken, a vicious demigod with the power to manipulate human thought, disappeared in the wake of a shocking confrontation. Unleashed upon the city of Frettchen, his magic sows fear and paranoia into the minds of all.
Worse, a horde of nightmarish creatures once locked safely away in Denken’s pocket dimension now roam free. Though Mikalai Gloucester has no magic of his own, he is determined to fight the beasts alongside his new friends, a motley band of magicians, scientists, and unusual beings.
Distrust threatens to tear them apart, but the group must work together to save one of their own and discover Denken’s plan for the city. It’s a race against the ticking clock to stop him before he destroys Frettchen for good.

Just sat down and added a whole new scene to the current draft of Book 3. Feeling like a very Good and Accomplished writer :)
