The Straits of Allback, my eagerly awaited fantasy,
is in final copy-edit. I expect its release in 2023. Tyr’Ryfe, awaits
trial on a trumped-up charge of dereliction of duty. She needs a barrister.
Fast. And money. Lots. Too bad she’s suspended from duty. Tyr’Ryfe and her
Defenserel partner, PaTec, search for paying clients. Good news. Both found a
commission. PaTec’s to return a princess to her father, Tyr’Ryfe’s to keep a
princess safely hidden. Bad news. It’s the same princess.

Before they solve their dilemma,
a villain spouting bad poetry ensnares them in forbidden magic. What could
be worse?  Start with the angry assassin hunting them. Our heroes
search for the princess in the hazardous Allback region, where plants, animals,
and the lawless all attempt to kill them.

Assorted quirky characters
and a tangle of obstacles hamper their trek as reality twists and
turns, and our heroes discover everything they believed true, is false. How can
they raise money and clear Tyr’Ryfe’s name when complications pile up like
scales on her hide?

Our intrepid heroes’ wild adventure
is the first in the World of Quzsa series.
