The morning road...

Now let us take the morning road

that leads far from the town,

With hopeful hearts and lightened load,

Go walking up and down;

By field and wood and singing stream

We’ll seek that holy ground

Where spirits speak and mortals dream

Until we all are found.

-The Winged Child, Henry Mitchell (publication date: 22 February 2022)

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 Guest , 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 .
