KING MAKER is the first book of Maurice Broaddus’ ambitious KNIGHTS OF BRETON COURT trilogy, a unique re-telling of the legend, playing out on the crime ridden streets of an African-American neighbourhood in Indianapolis. Check out my review to find out if the book warrants the plaudits that describe it as The Wire meets Excalibur. @bookstodon

Magic is found in many places; liminal spaces, trinkets, most books and of course, within Every Person.

For some it is buried too deep to easily access, for others, cyclists in particular, they overflow with more than dimensional stability can handle.

For the Clestalia Cabal, it was a daily struggle to discreetly siphon off the excess magic from unsuspecting cyclists.

The whole process looked questionable but explaining it was worse.

The car parked on the flowerbed, to the displeasure of the gardener.

"Thought it was part of the lawn," the driver shrugged unapologetically, before rushing across the road to the theater.

Inside a small pug put its paws on the window with a sad whine.

"Poor little friend," mumbled the gardener, drawing a series of sigils in the dirt under the car.

Ten minutes later a wolf-beast tore through the car's roof and fled to a better home.

A shudder of wind shaken branches woke the little prince from his deep slumber.

This would not do, and he immediately called to his mother, yowling as he searched through his home.

She was watching her magic window again. He hopped onto her desk, obscuring her view.

"Sorry, one moment," she said, shifting him to his own magic window full of birds.

"You spoil that cat," chided the coven leader.

"Cats exist to be spoiled!"

3/3: How much of your worlds are invented versus real? Give examples.

The Cloud Lands: totally invented. With dragons.

The Holy Empire: completely invented. Without dragons.

The Wolves? Our world, with the addition of shifters. I use Google Maps a LOT.

Franssisi Four: Invented planet, terraformed far in the future. With Aliens.

I prefer writing in invented worlds. It means so much less research. 😂

The drum solo echoed throughout the neighborhood; a strange rattle of air pressure in the distance, a soul shaking thunder in the room it emanated from, but everywhere in between, an energizing rhythm, that made everyone move just a little faster.

The elf finally stopped, wiping glittering sweat from her brow, "How was that?"

"I asked for a beat. That was a seismic event!"

"It's the only way I know how to play."

"Then you're hired!"

The cat scurried about, under the floorboards, above the floorboards, along the walls, and at one point someone claims, along the ceiling.

The cat was hunting shadow imps, and the place had many little dark corners.

It wasn't sure why... probably something to do with too much negative energy, or dog hair, both were pretty bad.

Eventually, the cat was full, so the job was done enough for now; time for a nap, then more food!

"A time-manipulating rodent? No one would ever suspect. Well done," praised the leader.

"Thank you... And I decided where to release it too," the apprentice grinned, pointing at a map.

There was a hush. Someone cleared their throat, "Uh... when is the release?"

"Last year, this morning."

"That's where I propagated my weather-predicting marmots! What if they've interbred? That could mess with the seasons!"

"That... explains a lot."
