Czixi Wrote A Book!

Czixi

It will not have escaped the notice of Hallifax, and those beyond it, that I have not been able to be present in Lusternia as much recently. I'm delighted (and overwhelmed) to be able to tell you that the silence is because my debut novel was published this week.

It's called Mundane Magic, and here's what it's about:

Magic exists.

Hidden within the world, disguised as mundane gifts and talents, it rests. Though not wholly dormant, for the mostpart it has gone unnoticed. Until now. Now, one man is trying to change that: to fight for a world where mages can be open about their powers and the world can accept them for what they are.

But trying to change people never goes smoothly, and the best intentions can fall away in the face of fear. Thomas Braddock has gone from hopeful revolutionary to wanted fugitive in a matter of days, earning the wrath of the British Army and their magical allies. For Braddock’s power is to be impenetrable, the ultimate defender; and the only thing that can pierce a magical shield is more magic.

Of course, it is not that simple. Nothing is ever that simple. And for the young servant whose power holds the key to defeating Braddock, there are some difficult decisions to be made. Because Odette is not destined to defeat him – there is no prophecy that binds her life to his. She has a choice.

And she doesn’t want to become a murderer.

So if you're fond of historical fantasy, looking for something to read in the last bits of summer, or have enjoyed my writing in game - please consider checking it out. You can get it in either ebook or print format, and it's available at major online retailers. It's not currently available in physical shops, but larger shops should be able to order it for you if you prefer to buy in person. The print edition might show as out of stock on some sites - this is incorrect, it's just not updated properly yet (the book is print on demand, so it's conning the site into thinking it has none, when in fact it has as many as it wants).

Thank you so much! And yes, this means you should be seeing a bit more of Czixi in game from now on.

For some unknown reason I already bought a copy of this book.  Have not read yet, though!  My reading time is mostly my lunch break.

Historical fantasy where magic really exists but in secret? Sounds like most of the D&D campaigns I run. Right up my alley. Purchased!

Sylandra

Congratulations! That's a huge achievement. Bought and excited to read.

Kerith

Tirah

Ohh thats so cool! I know which book I will ask for for my birthday this year.

Aeldra

I'll be giving this a read too. Sounds like something I'd enjoy too Congratulations on the first novel!

I picked up the book. Opening hook is strong, but not far enough in to say how it develops yet... (There is a certain irony to being interrupted by the author when trying to read it... xD)

Thayan

WOOT.

Objective one: throw a wild, WILD! party. You earned it. (Cake feast and tea wine absolutely counts).

Objective two: Now go do it all again.

Congrats

Shaddus

I'll buy it if it has Shaddus in it.

I made the mistake of taking this book with me and getting a start on it...

... and now I have no more book to read.  RIP book.  Did not even make it to my first lunch break.

Bought this on kindle today, I'm looking forward to reading it soon!

Estarra

Got it!

Hey, writing my debut(?) novel at the moment, and it is a million times more hard work than I had ever imagined. TLDR: I love you for finishing AND publishing, and folks like you are awesome. Will buy once I've got any time whatsoever to read... unless you want to sell me an author-read audiobook??
