    last page."

    "I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Great premises,
    like able characters with good solid writing and
    plot. More soon please! The further adventures of
    the immortal medic would make a great series.
    Prequels about other places and times offer all
    kinds of story lines."

    in the vein of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. The
    characters are believable and interesting, the
    dialogue feels natural. The book flows very
    well, and is a quick read without shortchanging
    the reader. Looking forward to the next in the series."

    all the things I loved from Out of Nowhere but
    with the main character thrown into a completely
    different setting. The Napoleonic Wars.
    Great action. Great dialogue. Great stuff."

Welcome to

Ink & Bourbon


By Author Patrick LeClerc

This site is a central directory for the writings of a jaded, nigh unemployable paramedic.

In the lulls between saving lives and making a difference on ambulance shifts, (and sometimes in the lulls between employment at various private ambulance companies) he has been known to write speculative fiction.

Sometimes this is speculation about fantastic worlds, or the future of humanity. Sometimes it's just speculating about the chances the bartender will forget his face and start serving him again.

The Beckoning Void by Patrick LeClerc

Emelia DuMond is an actress, her skill at adopting and changing her identity lifting her from her humble beginnings to success on the stage of Victorian London. And to the attention of the Ghost Society, a secret organization who work to defend the world from threats of the paranormal. After centuries of seeking, the sinister Disciples of the Void have obtained an arcane book of great power. A power that could tear the veil between dimensions and plunge the world into a dark, unspeakable future.

Now she has recruited an aging soldier of fortune burdened by a conscience, the sword wielding daughter of an Afghan brigand and an airship whose captain escaped slavery during the Civil War by stealing a Confederate vessel.

Can Emelia and her band of plucky outcasts save the world from a cult of fanatics intent on unleashing an ancient horror?

“The Beckoning Void” is a tale of cunning plots, flashing swords, skillful piloting, witty repartee and eldritch dread.
