A list of everything I've published under Wizard's Wood Press, and where to find it, in a sticky posting.

Nobly, nobly Cape Saint Vincent to the North-West died away;
Sunset ran, one glorious blood-red, reeking into Cadiz Bay;
Bluish 'mid the burning water, full in face Trafalgar lay;
In the dimmest North-East distance, dawned Gibraltar grand and gray;
"Here and here did England help me: how can I help England?"—say,
Whoso turns as I, this evening, turn to God to praise and pray,
While Jove's planet rises yonder, silent over Africa.

Robert Browning

Amusing isekai.

One heroine decided on her true love.

I look at another hero and think he's an enigma. Ponder whether he's going to fall in love with a girl he's known for years who is all grown up -- and he's suddenly going to realize it.

He starts to tell me he has a tragic past.

Not all of what happened, mind you. Just bits and pieces of the tragedy.

The Girl Who Saved The Wrong King: Book One of The Wrong King Series: A Historical Fantasy Isekai Romance by D Abraham and D Gemini

This is amazing.

I particularly like the elegant way that she's sent into the world. She goes into a -- library, is told the books are waiting for people, sees one glowing, reaches for it -- she's in a field.

The story is stalling, and only telling me what happened before. Again.

Aggravating when I know what happens next.

So I untangle some details.

At least the heroine is happy to have the love story with the heroine.

I should give her a name. Then we have the dramatic moment when she trusts in him enough to confide what it is.

This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
Every nighte and alle,
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
And Christe receive thy saule.

When thou from hence away art past,
Every nighte and alle,
To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last;
And Christe receive thy saule.

A skeleton once in Khartoum
Found a ghost up in his room
They spent the whole night
In the most dreadful fight
As to who should be frightened of whom.

A character is blaming something on Ivywood. And shrugging when another says -- Hollywood. Makes him feel more out of place than anything else thus far.

At least it's moving forward.

Fractals: On The Edge Of Chaos by Oliver Linton

Explaining the self-similar nature of fractures makes it feasible to describe Euclideanly infinitely complex patterns shortly. Goes through a number of things, from snowflakes to ferns to strange attractors.

The math gets harder as it goes on.

An outline is refusing to inch along.

It is, however, telling me what happened in some scenes before, packing up the time with stuff.

This is the second time it's done that.

I can only hope it will work out.

I Reincarnated as the Foolish Minister's Daughter: Book One: Married to the Forgotten Prince by D Abraham and D Gemini

Wow.

This is an isekai and possibly the best one I've read.
