New serial! New story!
The Poet’s Eye is about a red-headed farm boy who steals a magical amulet to keep his family from killing each other for it—again. Giving up all he knows to protect them isn’t too big a sacrifice. Too bad it turns out to be a hoax, especially since a magical amulet would be real handy about the time an inhuman horde begins to invade. So now he’s partners with a notorious sorcerous highwaywoman and facing down a legendary threat, and they have to stop an evil queen who is saving thousands of lives.
“Surely that’s a typo, Laura — you meant they have to stop an evil queen who is ending thousands of lives.”
I said what I said.
You can find The Poet’s Eye on Kindle Vella (just launched this week) or on World Anvil. The first few episodes are free to read, and if you like it you can continue on your choice of platforms.
Pro tip: Buying Vella tokens on Amazon’s site is a better value than buying on the iPhone app, so you can read more with the same money with a website purchase.
Pro tip #2: Vella access is per episode, while World Anvil via Patreon offers full access to all published episodes.
And yes, it will be published as a novel once the serial is complete! The serial format is for those who want it first. ;-)
The Poet’s Eye is one feature of my brand-new Patreon, also just opened. You can check out the other rewards at the link.
I’m at this Realm Makers conference, speaking on a panel on Saturday and hanging out all weekend. Say hello if you’re in the area!
