The Forthenby Inheritance
The Forthenby Inheritance W. G. Maythorn for G. who dared me “The plan I have put forward is entirely reasonable and icily logical, and should excite no sirring whatsoever. Or don’t you think so?”“…

Anyway, that’s the shape of it, and I’ll be posting updates here and on the site until then - but otherwise join me in September for a new round of nonsense.
Until then, the whole of The Forthenby Inheritance is available to read, for #free, online: forthenby.com/chapter-1/

Managing to use two words on the first page of the Forthenby Ladies that I had to pause and go, “Hang on, were they using that then?”
(They were, for both of them, and in that context. HOWEVER, I cut “blast”. I did not cut “missile”.)

Really important NYT investigation finds that the ADF has been working with Reform, 'courting the party since at least 2024' and that the British arm 'orchestrated Mr Farage’s appearance in Congress, reaching out to ask if he would like to give evidence on censorship'

A little less than three days until the release of The Forthenby Ladies, the queer, kinky sequel to The Forthenby Inheritance. Sizzling with angst and anachronism, it follows Teddy Valance living with the consequences of his actions, and finding new ways to fuck up and get dicked down.
