Happy Knight Day, !

Well, it's Knight Day because your knight is here. Here is the second book about Rian, with more about his son and Nessa's plans in the middle of everything.


It took several rewrites — some of you checked out the "inspiration draft" and some didn't — but I truly enjoyed writing Rian as an adult. He's a little wry, very tired, and can't stop taking care of other people. But is there ever going to be someone in Rian's life who cares about who he really is? Maybe he'll just head down to his magical library in the basement of Fionn mac Cumhaill's castle, read some Dorothy Sayers, and forget about it....

*Reminder: You're getting this email

because you signed up using a link at the back of "The Squire & His Magical Armlet." It was originally going to just be some bonus scenes, but then it became too interesting to weave in other characters and other plot points from the first book, so now it's an entire, polished novella!


Most of you are already on my main mailing list as well. If you aren't, I will add you there, and you will also receive a copy of the collection of "Magical Libraries" — short stories compiled from the magical libraries in the Castle in Kilkenny world! You'll recognize the first one from "Squire," but the other two are yet-unpublished sneak peeks. 😊


If you want to review...

The Knight & His Armlet, there is nothing that helps a small author like me more than that! Your reviews help other readers find books, not just because they can read your opinion, but because having reviews prompts the algorithms to show the book to more readers. Any review site or sales site that you're on helps, but I'll include links to the two biggest ones just to make it easy for you:
