Greetings, friends.
I’ve rearranged the site a little bit, to take into account a few things.

Ballad of the Grey Swan: New Book Trailer
Now that we have the two protagonists done, here’s a new one for the whole book, Ballad of the Grey Swan.
Ballad of the Grey Swan Trailer: Maisie’s Tale
Well, after telling Jey’s story, it only makes sense to tell Maisie’s, doesn’t it?
Maisie in the secondary main character of Ballad of the Grey Swan, daughter of the local innkeeper, and lover of Jey, the main character, and she goes through a lot of development of her own…
Ballad of the Grey Swan Trailer: Jey’s Tale
I made one of these a bit back for the book itself, but now I’m doing a few others: one for Jey, and one for her lover Maisie. I’m also going to remake the one for the book itself, just because I’ve learned a bit about what to do, and hopefully it’ll be better this time.
Richard Chamberlain, March 31, 1934 – March 29, 2025
I just found out that Richard Chamberlain has passed away.
I never brought it up, because I had no room, but the character of Swordmaster Corin, Jey Corbeau’s sword teacher, was in part based on his portrayal of Aramis in the 1973 film of The Three Musketeers.
He’s also going to be the mentor of another character in a different book, where he plays the Chairman of the High Council of the Organization of Pilferers, Rogues, Enforcers, Assassins, Conmen, and Highwaymen – better known on the streets and back-alleys of the cities as just the Organization or the Business. (For you fantasy readers/gamers, yes, it’s basically the Thieves Guild.) If you’ve watched the show Leverage, you saw Richard Chamberlain as Archie Leach. (That’s the part he plays in that book: a somewhat retired gentleman thief who can still outmaneuver and out-think the younger crew.)
Rest well, kind and noble sir; your gentle humor and smile will be missed.
