I have been slow to write my blog posts recently, but not slow to write. I’ve managed to publish a couple of pieces of flash fiction, and an essay called ‘Steered Towards Servitude’.
But this blog post is about my first ever publication in eBook and paperback format. I will be publishing a Paramount Sagas Short Fiction Anthology entitled ‘Baroness’. It will contain the novelette Baroness, two short stories that are currently available as partial reads on my website, and a small unnamed bonus at the end of the three works.
The graphics and layout were done by Aurora Giampaoli in a wonderfully simple, uniform and powerful style. The cover represents the protagonist Amira of the novelette Baroness perfectly. Inside you’ll find another series of graphics that represent the other stories in this short anthology.
Over the span of nearly one hundred years three stories are recounted in the city of Achart, the capital of the Centerlands ruled by House Gotharus. This anthology shines light on a tiny corner of The Paramount, the world of the upcoming Dark Revolution Trilogy. In this anthology beggars resist slumlords, slumlords kill kings, and the oppressed population revolts against the brutal rule of House Gotharus and the suffocating doctrines of Church of The Whole.
