Duke’s Descent

I know that we’ve been on a roll with the poetry posts over the last few weeks, but I’ve decided to give you something a bit different today – a short story! This one has an interesting background too, as it was actually the first time I tried out writing the character of Duke, who is the main character in The Horse Who Fell in Scorland. He’s in a similar setting but a pretty different situation in this short story, and I think it’s quite interesting to see how far the idea developed between this short story and the novella. So, I hope you enjoy Duke’s Descent!

The Horse Who Fell In Scorland – Chapter One

I have to say, it’s a bit of a strange feeling not releasing another Chained Soul chapter – that novel has dominated the blog since November 2023, but I’ve got another bit of fiction you might be interested in today. My fantasy novella The Horse Who Fell In Scorland is releasing next Wednesday, on the 10th of July, so I thought I’d treat you to a little sneak peek of the book with this first chapter!
