A Villain Revealed

Quote: ‘You’re awful. Just like me.’ Readers, 80% of you voted to see a villain! Marvellous evildoers, it’s my pleasure to present through the playful beautiful artistry of Venessa Vida Kelley @vkelleyart, a MOST dishonourable bodyguard.

Key of the Cauldron, free spirit, easy smiles, has killed before, will kill again. Some achieve evil, some are thrust into it, and Key is in gleeful free fall to the depths. Known as: the gutter guard, the Villain of the Cauldron, the Hero of the Cauldron (deeply embarrassing misunderstanding, why would an act of wanton violence be interpreted as heroic?). The court is horrorstruck by his accent, and maybe all the murders. Dragged up rather than raised in the Cauldron, a ‘liberty’ within the city where the law holds no sway and thus a den of vice seething with the city’s cutthroats, Key’s elevated to the palace guard as an honour. He would prefer being honoured with money. Will nobody pay him to commit crimes… What’s that, my lady? Two writer friends call him ‘the murder meow meow.’ I can’t wait for you to meet him.

To meet him and get a signature and character art you can preorder at one of the indies participating in the preorder campaign (yes I did pick this one to be hilarious).

exciting BOOK TOUR business

THAT'S RIGHT! AMERICA I AM COMING TO YOU. WELL. PARTS OF YOU. BRIEFLY. I will be signing things! Chatting to people! Early copies of the book will be for sale! We will have those amazing art prints!

(If you're tempted to ask "Freya, why aren't you coming to [X place] ??" the answer is "we are playing a game of book event Jenga around a trip planned for other reasons and I'm very sorry".

Obviously if I could trek luxuriously across the entire continent, nay, the entire world! then I would, but unfortunate things like 'logistics' and 'a limited amount of annual leave from my dayjobs' have prevented it.)

TOUR EVENTS & BOOKING LINKS:

Doylestown Books, PA Tuesday October 24th, 6:00pm

Love's Sweet Arrow, Chicago (In conversation with Tamara Jerée) Saturday October 28th, 2:00pm

A Hero Revealed

‘I am the man who can bring an army to its knees.’ Meet the first of my hero line-up, Lord Marius Valerius, the Last Hope. Heir to a ducal line famous for their beauty, their skill in battle… and their ancestral curse. Many of Long Live Evil’s early readers tell me they’re invested in a romance involving this shining knight. All these readers wish the wicked and forbidden, as he’s taken vows. Thanks to the extreme talent and beauty of Venessa Vida Kelley @vkelleyart’s art, I present to you all an icily dignified scholar who would never break his vow not to wield arms and absolutely never draw his ancestral sword, no matter the chaos erupting at court. HE’S DOING FINE. He’s a hero.

if you’d like to meet this hero undergoing extreme tribulation at the hands of unruly villains and get extra heroic and villainous treats, you can preorder LONG LIVE EVIL…
