Love it! Can’t wait to see what happens to those smarmy jackasses. An Egyptian princess exiled from the afterlife doesn’t sound like someone I’d want to irritate.
Oh they are irredeemably vulgar, aren't they, the upper classes? As an Ancient Egyptophile, I am very much looking forward to Ankhesenaten teaching them some serious lessons in manners.
Grabbing some balls and saying 'no' by the way things are going. I was crazy throwing in another serial, but I'm wondering if shorter, kindle vella style posts would be appreciated by the busy reader? We'll see.
I think shorter posts work really well on Substack. And I'm always amazed by your productivity. Quantity and quality is a hard balance to strike, but you make it look easy!
Thank you, Garen. The whole thing plays in my head like a film, and I either watch as I write along or wait til it's finished and then write it. Is it like that for you? I always wonder how other authors conjure characters, scenes and stories!
I definitely have a movie in my head that I narrate on the page. I was fascinated to learn that some people don’t have this capability. aphantasia I think it’s called. I’m not sure who I would be without the reel running in my mind!
Thank you. I thought it was a bit of a crazed thing to do, throwing a short serial out when I've got a big one going as well, but I want to see how it goes. I'm having fun writing the cliffhangers. 👿
I just read part one of "The Maiden's Hand" and it's beautifully written and grabs the reader right away. I felt so sorry for the boy with the stammer and could understand how disrespectfully the hand was being treated. Clearly, it's going to have grave repercussions.

No. It's all going to get messy, Liz. Can't wait.
Hooked- hoping something fun and terrifying happens to Jack et al.
Me too, me too. Can't wait to dig into these guys. 😄 Thanks for reading.

Vulgar in the extreme. I'm throwing in some misogyny too for good measure. Why not go the whole hog?
Defo!
Ooh looking forward to what that hand is going to get up to. ✋

Great start! Looking forward to the next instalment.

boys.
Your eye roll was palpable, Stephanie 😂
hee hee. My face is loud, what can I say?
You've given us another good one, Hanna! BTW, I can't stand university boys and their "mischief." I'm eagerly awaiting their comeuppance.
Oh, it's going to be fun.
Loved it!
Thank you, Nancy. I wanted to play around with a shorter serial. Working on my cliffhangers!

Thank you 🥰 You just wait. It's going to get even more fun.
