Reminder that, if you want to avoid big online stores like Amazon, you can get all my ebooks through itch.io.

(And you can buy all the Mennik Thorn books together in a bundle that is far cheaper than buying them separately.)

The word for this week's Book Quote Wednesday is 'tight', and here's a tense, night-time confrontation in the port city of Grand BiIlon.

#BookQW

The streets in this part of Grand Billon were quiet in the evening. Starpenny Line had planted its headquarters well away from the cafés and inns that kept their doors open throughout the night. There was only one man hurrying past, and there could be no mistaking his clothes.

It was only a one-storey drop, but Garnas landed hard enough to splay the man on the cobbles like a bearskin. His swearing swiftly turned into tight groans as a cracked rib shifted.

“I do not have time for nonsense,” Garnas whispered in his ear. “You will tell me where she is being held, by whom, how many of them there are, and how they are armed.”

Cancer broke me down. I had to build myself back up again. By sharing my story, I hope to help others.
