7. someone describing a time your OC hurt them
A Faded Page, Encrusted in Candlewax Ten years have passed. His scrutinous gaze burns my skin still, encased in the amber of a little boy’s eyes. A song thick with blood escapes his lips at sundown, dripping into my ears through the cracks in the stone. His mother hears it not — the spellcraft at hand is older even than the arts she dabbles in. Steel my heart, o Lady, as the Maker has steeled Your own at the gates of Minrathous. Steel it, for it is my blood the fiend set ablaze and carved out of my body, in his pursuit of greatness on Your doorstep. Forge my hands into blades sharp, glistening and blue. Let me be soluble in air and rid the world of this noctious burden, this defiler, this— [The rest of the page lay severely stained by ink.]

Running Close to the Wind Review
Tumblr media
Running Close to the Wind comes out June 11th in the US, and June 13th in the UK, so make sure to preorder it or mark the date, because it's a gem of a book.
Pirates but make it gay and absolutely unhinged. Then take that, and make it horny and polyamorous. Congratulations, you now have Running Close to the Wind.
Avra, lucky poet and partially retired spy for Arast, accidentally stole the one trade secret most of Arast’s fortune is based on. He also accidentally reunited with Captain Tevari, a pirate with a ruthless reputation and his on-again off-again ex of the past fifteen years, who may or may not want him dead, or at the very least as far away from them as possible. To keep himself from being thrown overboard, Avra reveals to Teveri and their crew the secret he’s stolen, and together they devise a plan to sell it and make as much money off it as possible. Enters Julian, an extremely attractive monk bound by an unfortunate vow of celibacy, scholar extraordinaire and last essential piece to help them achieve their plan. Avra now has three problems on his hands: finding a way to sell the secret without being found out and killed by Arast, make up with Teveri, and convince Julian to abandon his vow of celibacy.
Forget everything you’ve just imagined about this book, forget the comparisons to Our Flag Means Death and Six of Crows, however accurate they may be, because whatever your expectations are about this book, it will blow them away. I went in with high expectations, both because of the promise of a heist like in Six of Crows, one of my favourite books ever, and because I loved A Taste of Iron and Gold, the first and only Alexandra Rowland book I’d read. Despite this, nothing had prepared me for the wild, unhinged ride that Running Close to the Wind proved to be.
Alexandra Rowland introduces us to fiery, vivid characters, whose personalities both clash and compliment one another’s. Avra could be an obnoxious and annoying character, what with his exuberant personality and endless supply of dirty jokes, but instead I found him most endearing, and it was incredibly easy to empathise with him and long for his happy ending. Similarly, Teveri’s personality could have driven me away. Instead, and partly thanks to Avra’s adoration of them, they were so easily lovable and relatable. And Julian’s wit and daunting complimented this pair so well, bringing nuance while playing into their games. This made for delicious relationships, and dynamics that had me cackling and squealing, and made me yearn for more development of their relationship, yearn to know what would happen and how it would end. From a writer’s point of view, I am admirative of Alexandra Rowland’s well-proven ability to play with a variety of characters and personalities, and render them all equally vivid and compelling, and to make readers fall for all kinds of relationships, from the calm one in A Taste of Gold and Iron to the fiery one in Running Close to the Wind.
Another thing I loved and admired was the balance between plot and character arc. This story is cleary character-led and the point of it is not so much what happens to the secret, although it is an important part of the story, as what growth the characters undergo. And grow they do. These arcs were mastered from start to end, and Alexandra Rowland found just how much of character arc and how much plot they could give us so that the story would neither feel plot-heavy nor character-heavy. This is no easy feat, but Alexandra Rowland mastered it seamlessly, and it merits some applause.
Overall, Running Close to the Wind is like no other book I’ve ever had to pleasure to read. It is wild and hilarious, and I don’t remember the last time a book made me laugh so much, but I’ll definitely remember that time. This story reads well and quickly, the worldbuilding blending it perfectly with the rest, even for those who haven’t read or don’t remember much about the worldbuilding of A Taste of Gold and Iron, set in the same world. Running Close to the Wind is a masterpiece of a story, lighthearted and yet treating serious topics without weighing down the atmosphere of the book. It is endlessly fun, surprisingly crude and dirty in its jokes, and vivid from beginning to end. Those who have loved Freya Marske’s books will most likely love this book as well, as will Alexandra Rowland’s fans and anyone interested in queer pirates. If you dislike sex-related jokes or crude language, refrain from reading this book, as it is riddled with such jokes and language—and it is what makes part of its charm.
Thank you Pan Macmillan and NetGalley for provinding me with an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are mine and unbiased.

Just wanted to pop in and express appreciation for your work! I started with a Conspiracy of Truths (after hearing about Choir of lies, and finding it was a sequel), then A Taste of Gold and Iron stole my heart and ran away with it (I’d preordered it and have since read it more than a few times. It’s amazing). And now I’m circling back to a Choir of Lies… I’m about halfway through, and I love it so far. The push and pull way you’ve handled narration is fascinating, and i feel like im watching a magic trick. Also, every time i see a mention of Araste I gasp and point and go, “I know those guys!”
The subtle interconnectedness and consistency of your stories (that I’ve read so far) are like looking at a gem from various angles. Thank you for sharing it all with the world! I can’t wait to read more of your published works in the future.
(Also, I’ve never sent an ask before, I hope this is the correct channel for this kind of thing)
Oh thank you so much, this is so lovely to hear!!! I am so delighted that you are enjoying the interconnectedness of the books, and you'll be happy to know that my next book, RUNNING CLOSE TO THE WIND (coming out next year) has even more of that kind of thing. ;) If you're interested, I have an official Discord server for fans of my work! Please feel welcome to join us if you'd like to! https://discord.gg/ftYnk8T42K

The name of Magic
This is my current priority WIP. I've been writing this for ages, making little headway, and being very precious about all the words in it. I'm finally shaking off all the crap and delving headfirst. Honestly, sometimes the 'moment of inspiration' that helps you write one perfect gleaming passage can hamper the rest of the project because you care too much about what you've already written. It's happened to me with this one. But since I'm finally getting somewhere with the backend of the planning-y stuff, let's start it off.
Synopsis:
A desolate world is no longer a place for humanity to survive. A final and suspiciously well-kept vestige sits atop a sheer cliff, surrounded by mountains on three sides. The city of Ragusa is a gleaming, gaudy, absurd collection of rules, mental illness, and perfectly manicured hedges.
Magic is almost not worth mentioning, it happens all the time and means almost nothing to anyone. But our, uh, hero? Arast is uniquely talented at Magic, which in a society that trims its hedges of any overly ambitious branches, that can land you in hot water. In Arast's case it lands him outside the city, over the mountains, on a "quest" given to him by the King. He and his friend Jelly are on a mission to find and slay a marauding wildebeast for the King when they discover something dark about their suspicious city. Perhaps the city's acute perfection of civic architecture was too good to be true.
So there!
I want to try to post about this every now and then, I've been keen on writing this for ages, it's just always been a really difficult one for the kind of premise I've gone with.
I've been heavily inspired by:
HunterxHunter
Terry Pratchett's Discworld Series
Monty Python's Mystico and Janet: Flats built by hypnosis
Donald Trump
I feel like I've come up with a really unique magic system that I want to use to explore contemporary issues in society, but that's lofty, because my main goal, is to finally write something I just want to write, that I enjoy writing. Something silly, cerebral, clever, altogether unserious, and varied. That's what I'm looking for.
This project has no real demographic, I just want to write it for myself, but the motivation to write it for others and internet strangers helps.
I hope you all follow me along for the ride!
Tumblr media
A quick lil' screenshot of my planning document which I'll be using to organise ideas because my brain does not work the way a word doc wants it to.
And here's a link to my Wattpad account (lol) that I've used infrequently to post random tidbits: https://www.wattpad.com/user/FelixMcphie
Thanks for listening! (Reading, but listening just fits better)

         She wrapped herself within the stolen desert silks that Mercutio brought back to the Isle. A sullen sigh left such delicate lips. What more could the old woman do at such a time?... Unless...          Diaage looked over her shoulder. The ex-director forgot one thing. The shades her master bequeathed her. Such names of shadow magic to be called upon... but now was not the right time. She would wait... until he made his next move. @intoxication-wra
