The Crooked Path is published today!
Stories link together. What is done in one time and place spreads out across the world to shape the future: there is never a single beginning, never a simple end. But, since this tale must have a beginning, let it be when a potter carves a creature from dreams and driftwood. It carries him to a place where fair faces conceal foul intent, where two kings guard the firstborn tree by night and day, where only a living man’s love can undo a dead man’s hatred. And where, if he does not go carefully, the choices made in other times and places will cost him his life.

Reblogged this on Jane Dougherty Writes and commented:
A wonderful book published today and a must for lovers of beautifully crafted stories.
Thank you for the reblog, Jane. You’re pretty nifty with a tale yourself.
Have gone back to Children of the Beast. I live in hope.
Good. Pleased to hear about that. I too shall live in hope.
Something’s got to stick. You just have to keep throwing it until it does.
I’ll put that on a post-it above my desk.
And get the fan ready.
Just ordered a copy and looking forward to reading it — the synopsis alone is very reminiscent of Ursula Le Guin who I approvingly see is one of your favourite authors!
Thank you! I hope very much that you enjoy it.
