My Ongoing Novel: Red Handed

Post by mortaki »

Finally! I can yap about my book.

In all seriousness, I just had to share as this novel is my little baby and I don't usually like promoting it at ALL, which in turn means I don't get to talk about it often. I'm a little afraid of sharing it more widely, but giving it a shoutout to my net neighbors should be fine, right?

For a little description, it's based in a alternate near-future in a world very different to ours. Much of the story takes place in the country, Amarila, which is ruled by a aristocratic democracy that basically runs on corruption. It's a multi-layered, politics-heavy plot that follows multiple characters as they make moves in the wake of the assassination of a Duke's grandson and eligible heir.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested, a more in-depth summary and the story itself can be found on my site here.

If you check it out, PLEASE tell me what you think. I am currently struggling my little writer heart out with chapter six and hearing your thoughts (even if they're bad ones lol) will motivate me to finish a lot.
