Apologies for the interruption to the daily chapters of The Mechanical Crown. I blame lockdown for turning time into an entirely abstract concept.
Anyway, a new chapter has just gone up and they're now scheduled through into next month. Enjoy!

I'm VERY excited that The Mechanical Crown is a featured novel on tapas this week! Thank you to all of you who have already been reading it: I'm sure it wouldn't have been featured without your help.
Much appreciated, and I hope you're all keeping safe.

And we're away! The first chapter of The Mechanical Crown is now up, with new chapters every day. It's a fantasy adventure with a heavy slice of politics intermingled with swords, airships, prison escapes and hints of ancient magic. https://tapas.io/series/The-Mechanical-Crown
Hi everyone. I'm new here - loving Tapas so far. My fantasy book The Mechanical Crown will begin dropping daily chapters on Wednesday 22nd April, so if you're looking for something new and epic to read, stay tuned.
The whole book is already complete, so I'll be doing daily chapters from here until the end. I hope you enjoy. :)
