Fascinating talk I attended at @McrPoetryLib with #author Dan Richards. The word he said, "benighting", has found it's way into my upcoming novel "Witch and King - Vol. 2" :) (out 2026) Night Vision: Dan Richards and Helen McGhie: youtube.com/live/idoTqws2e… #writing #books

@DanielPriestley Yeah an audiobook would be great :)

I am fully aware that the formatting on Renka and the Blood of Time Vol. 1 is bad. It was my first ever fiction novel, and I had no idea what I was doing. After the audiobook is released to YouTube, and I'm editing it as I listen to it, I will release a new and improved 2nd ed.
