He Was

He was: smaller than life, older than Springtime, some the wiser, found for words, front for good, scruffy as ninepence, as timid as brass, as hate...

A Free Lunch [Some words from Liar's Kingdom]

Some words from the middle of Liar's Kingdom - about 22 pages further on in the manuscript. I always have a "bolt-hole" manuscript, for when the main project isn't going well. Liar's Kingdom is now performing this function for Prospero Vint. I've put this with the early parts of LK which I posted on here nearly 10 years ago Image is PD from Wikipedia

  Chilling, with a wry vein of humour running through it. Terrific writing, indeed.

Well done.

Worth reading for Roof Madoc alone ...

  I met her once, as she was big buddies with a friend of mine who lived in the same - English - village around 30 years ago. Lovely woman, filthy sense of humour and no airs or graces whatever. Anyway, enjoyable as always.

 This episode of a novel(la) maintains the intrigue, mystery and high standard of previous ones - and that's why it's our Pick of the Day.

Do please share on social media if you can.
