Changeling Child - Part 5
Prologue Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 The year Mary Bennet turned nineteen, Netherfield Park was let at last. Mary rarely paid attention to gossip until it became fact, in an often-vain attempt to sound sensible and avoid Lydia’s gloating when Mary was proven wrong. Nevertheless, she would have had to be deaf and blind not to know of the new arrivals, who were to take possession some time before Michaelmas. That explained the shopkeepers discussing whether or not to increase their wares from London, when Mary went to see if any new music was to be found.

Scarlet Macaw and The Crimson Avenger
This story was originally part of an early draft of my Superhero series. Since the finished product bears very little resemblance to the early versions, I'm publishing it here as a short story. Perhaps I'll collect all the short stories into a side book one day...

Kindness in the Face of Politics
The past couple of weeks have been tough. Australia has passed 78% fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and expects to reach 80% within the next week. International flights are picking up, with hotel quarentine abolished, people are going back to work, and restrictions on socialising are lessening by the day.

While I've done my best to answer those questions, I do have to eat, sleep and go to work, so I have no doubt that there are several that I've missed. So, I've put together a basic guide to National Novel Writing Month, so I can just copy-paste a URL, instead of a more lengthly reply. I am all for supporting newbies to the joy that is NaNoWriMo, but I only have so many hours in a day.

Still On Patrol...
It's been a long time since our sub last reported in to HQ. Seafarers are a superstitious lot, always have been. Sometimes I wonder; did we always know what was out there? Even before It was discovered, and shrouded in so much secrecy that even Heads of State aren't told, did some animal instinct left over from our early ancestors tell us that there was something out there to be feared? Something that saw us as prey; something eternal, and other, and dangerous.
