Puckish....


The characters in The Winged Child tend to escape their books. They are ever seeking new worlds to inhabit. A few of them have appeared in previous tales, and several have dropped by my current work-in-progress with apparent intention to stay and participate. 

While The Winged Child is grinding through the publisher's mill toward release in February, this blog will be providing you an introduction to some of those puckish personalities, and some you may meet in future tales yet unborn. This novel won't end with a "goodbye" but a "see you around."

The road...

  "  ...some miles ahead along this benighted road were people she knew and loved with a mutual affection. Wherever she had been, she was going home. She didn’t know if the prospect made her happy or sad, but upon reflection, it satisfied her longing soul."  - from The Winged Child Henry's books .

It's happening...

A busy July ahead for Millicent McTeer, The Winged Child . Galleys will arrive any day now, and Creative James Media will reveal the cover around the middle of the month. There's a lot yet to do before The Winged Child flies in February. Millicent's mentor, the púca, Wendl will appear in a short story, Abigail's Feast , included in an upcoming anthology from the same publisher. Wendl is also the protagonist in my current work-in-progress, a novel with the working title, Wendl the Fallen. I wouldn't be surprised if Millicent doesn't show up in that one, too. My characters tend to survive past their books, like a company of traveling thespians, popping up again in various guises down the road in somebody else's story.   Henry's books .

The Winged Child , a novel coming February 2022. Yes, there be dragons in it. "Millicent McTeer saw the dragon for the first time on her twelfth birthday. Once she had seen, it was impossible to unsee, so Millicent encountered the entity repeatedly after that, in various hues and shapes, amid all sorts of wild and unforeseen circumstances. Millicent had read about dragons, of course, but assumed they only inhabited screens and paper. She was not looking for dragons on that spring morning at her family’s cabin in the mountains above Asheton. It didn’t occur to her until much later that the dragon may have been looking for her."   - from The Winged Child   Henry's books .
