Hi everyone~

Not much to report this month. I am currently hard at work drafting the next book in The Witch Hunter Chronicles.

I'm currently about halfway through the draft and am looking at another 20k novella for the series.

So far.
So good.

Quotes by J.L. Coulbeck (?)

“You always collect your debts this promptly?” Thrazo asked when he couldn’t handle the oppressive silence.
“When they matter.”
“And this one does?”
“Yes.”
“That’s nearly a conversation. Careful, you might strain something.”
― J.L. Coulbeck, The Witch Hunter's Debt

“Thrazo didn’t understand, so he rolled the tea over his tongue, grimaced. “That tasted like boiled regret.”
“It’s willowbark.”
“Ah. Boiled regret with ideas.”
― J.L. Coulbeck, The Witch Hunter's Debt
