After three and a half years of work, I have published my first book.
Now available from Lulu.com
As the world succumbs to a slow death, choking on mushrooms and poison, a young servant girl is caught in the last attempts by human hands to thwart fate and the destiny of all living things. The King of Ruhleheim made a deal for immortality but not longevity. 1500 years later, his mummified corpse keeps his descendants up at night. But Prince Laslo and his twin sister, Princess Lydia have a plan to rid themselves of the king once and for all. Inez Vespertine, Lady’s Maid to Princess Lydia, overhears this scheme. To get her out of the way, the royal twins send her to visit their cousin, the Marquise, who lives deep within the Ergot Forest, a vast swatch of poisonous fungus that is overtaking the world. But when Inez returns not just alive and well but with a scheme of her own, the conniving twins are befuddled. Who will survive to rule a dying world?

The cover art is very Edward Gorey in look, which I assume you did intentionally.
Tax time is not a good time for my discretionary spending, but anon. There are enough “hooks” in the blurb to pique my interest.
Congratulations on being a published author!
hi
Bryan: Yes, Gorey was a major influence on the design of the book. In fact the title font is called Gorey and based on his hand lettering.
And no worries about tax time. The book will be available for the foreseeable future.
Thanks, Jenny!
