Family & Honour, an historical fiction mini-graphic-novel

For fans of medieval political intrigue with morally grey characters - think Game of Thrones or Rome - minus the dragons & ice zombies.

#WordWeavers Apr. 8 – Do any of your characters tell jokes? If so let them tell us a joke, please.

Joking seems to be the preferred mode of courtship for Jozi, the butch servant from my upcoming short Between One Word and the Next. Here's what she might have said to her girlfriend Dandi if she knew the King was working on the creation of a Korean writing system (which would evolve into Hangul):

Jozi: What's the use of reading and writing for the likes of us, eh? Though if I did learn, I'd send you letters for your right pleasure, lil lady. (Waggles eyebrows)
Dandi: And get us both beaten within an inch of our lives by palace guards for how filthy they be?
Jozi: Right you are.
Dandi: Ooh, and now you GOT to learn it. I want me letters dirty enough to get half kilt over!

Hmmm so I guess they're more of a joking duo, and also kids could you lighten up a little 😬

It's 1937, and the Dust Bowl sweeps a handsome stranger into a small Colorado town to dangerous effect in The Hired Man by Sandra Dallas. "A gripping story."
