Amanda pointed me in your direction and although I will admit to being chiefly a bookverse gal, I was hooked after your first scene and now I am off to read part 2! It's the dialogue that does it for me, I think - so full of character and humour... and all the little period details are beautifully researched. (Plus the awful weather rings very very true - I lived in the Scottish Borders for several years before fleeing to the south coast of England!)

This is brilliant! Amanda recc-ed it to me (and told me about our previously twin titles ;-)). I'm really enjoying it so far, and very pleased to hear you'll be updating regularly. Off to read Part 2...

So Amazing! Gah, I love your Esca, such a bitch. :)

The clouding flakes swallowed him in a swirling silence, wrapping him up in the glass ball of his own personal snow globe, until he could almost believe that his enemy hadn't presented itself to him today in the kind of form he'd been dreaming about since he'd sat as a seven year old at his father's side, watching the circus Strong Man take a cannon ball to the gut without so much as a gasp.

GAH! Beautiful, I'm loving this!
