Good news, everyone!

　　(Did anybody not read that in Professor Farnsworth`s voice?)

　　My publisher not only doesn`t mind if I post my published novels here, they say a number of their authors have done so in the past with great success. Their only warning was, as someone mentioned, that Amazon might decide to pull the book as a result.

　　Since I`ve had precisely four sales on Amazon since September of 2019, I don`t think I`m particularly worried.

　　Having begun organizing the first Kinnear novel for posting here, I also find that - a little more than seven years since I first published it - I have a burning desire to edit and clean it up. I`m a bit surprised by how amaturish it feels to me now, but we live and learn. So I`m gonna start cleaning it up, and I hope y`all will lend a hand buffing and polishing as we go. And once we`re done, I can update the published ebooks.

　　The unexpected benefits of being self-published.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

　　I will also, of course, be continuing to work on Nexus, so that it`s ready to go once Kinnear is finished (or in case y`all really can`t stand Kinnear and I have to abandon it...which I honestly don`t believe will happen, but who knows).

　　So...watch this space, as I will be posting a link to the new story here as soon as it`s up. Coming soon (next weekend, as long as Royal Road clears it)...The Kinnear Chronicles Book 1: Family Ties.

　　*****

　　For Alys Kinnear, becoming a Wizard was more than just her life`s ambition...it was her passion. Magic was in her soul, and she would follow it wherever it lead her. What she wasn`t sure of was whether or not a freshly-licensed Mage from Druid-controlled 蒳re had what it took to handle the dangerous and inglorious realities that came with being a practitioner in the considerably more modern, magic-infused city of London, Albion.

　　There, she quickly finds herself confronted by street thugs trying to steal her new employer`s property and a client whose home turns out to be a former asylum filled with the angry ghosts of former patients. With her new Familiars, a pair of snow leopards she rescued from an unscrupulous shop owner, Alys must overcome these problems along with the more mundane day-to-day difficulties of studying to become a fully licensed Wizard. And before she expects it, before she`s prepared for it, she`ll find herself tested in ways she never imagined...
