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."

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.

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.

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.

One of the problems with being immortal is you get to live through all of history's most famous blunders. Like Napoleon's inspired idea for a land war in Asia.
