Australian Damson O’Reilly fought in the Pacific during the closing months of World War II and was part of the occupational force keeping peace in Japan after surrender. With almost no family to go home to, Damson settled in France after leaving the army. Seeking a quieter place where he can write and paint, Damson goes to Italy. In Siena, he stumbles on an auction where an abandoned old farmhouse in the countryside is on the block, for the third time. Much to Damson’s surprise, his minimal bid wins. However, when Damson arrives at his new home, he finds a dead body in the front room. It’s the start of complicated #mystery and #MMRomance in “The Road to Montepulciano” by Garrick Jones.

#ScribesAndMakers 2026.10.06 — <On a scale of 0-100, how much conflict (however you personally define it) is necessary for a compelling story?
A question like this requires a qualitative answer but, forced to answer quantitatively, I would guess approximately 31.4157% +/- 10√2, which works out to some, enough, not too much, or the opposite of what the experts say.

Amongst the narratives that mention computers, elevators, interstellar travel, lorries, newspapers, photography, rush hour traffic, skyscrapers, and theatres, the inattentive reader might miss that there is no electricity or, by extension, electronics.

#WordWeavers 2026.10.06 — What is considered completely normal in your story's world that would seem bizarre to us?
Practically everything? I don't want to give away the discovery aspect, so I'll pick something not mundane that's also SFW:
Men typically raise their sisters' children.
Which means their nieces and nephews. It isn't uncommon that boys will raise younger sisters, or cousins of first and second degree. The tradition causes considerable angst in the WIP.
To be clear, this is a normal gender role. Men grow up expecting this.
Blue—One of Bolt's LIs and the man with whom she's most comfortable—is already supervising his teenage sister who is a scatterbrain nerd with little common sense. He's doing this while being trained as a praetorian (a rare and special job), while occasionally working as what looks to our eyes to be a type of (male) geisha. Bizarrely, to our eyes perhaps, he's increasingly certain that were his sister to become pregnant he'd willingly give up his hard-won jobs to raise her children. In his society's terms and in Bolt's eyes, he is a very masculine guy.

#PennedPossibilities 1149: Think of a choice your MC made. How did it lead to where and who they are now?
I've talked about Bolt's series of stupid decisions that led to her being involuntarily employed by the mob. A dozen years later, the story starts with her photographing something incredibly newsworthy. A "cub" reporter at the scene, with a broken camera, asks her if she'll sell her photographs. Even though he uses the day angel equivalent of calling her the n-word to get her attention when she ignores him in the crowd, she chooses to sell.
The entire novel is predicated on that yes. If we consider "now" the last chapters, the "how did it lead to where and who they are" is her dealing with the fallout of becoming a famous photographer, helping (and protecting) new friends she meets, juggling multiple identities, and knowing "interesting" people on both sides of the law who are interested in those on the "opposite" side, and having no choice but to become involved when she knows better.
For Bolt, it's a real mess…

“How to Avoid Murder and Other Jobs isn’t just a murder mystery—it’s a haunting, immersive experience that blends the supernatural with raw human emotion. This book grabbed me from the first page and refused to let go.”
“The depiction of the small-town environment is so vivid that I could almost sense the dust in the museum and feel the heat of the desert. The mystery itself is exceptionally well-crafted.”

#WritersCoffeeClub #WCC 2026.10.05 — What haunts the narrative of your current work?
The first line of the story is the main character becoming conscious while in motion and continuing as if nothing happened. I hope it is haunting, and her acceptance of it eerie, even if neither her blackouts nor the story have anything supernatural about them.

#WordWeavers 2026.10.05 — If your characters had to swap lives for a week, which pairing would create the most chaos?
Rainy Days and Spilling Mead could defo swap bodies. Actually, there's worse but that would be plot advancement by stupidity. This is apples to apples since both are controlling individuals (the antagonists) who understand governing others, and both can work miracles beyond the household ones of which most daemons are capable. There would be zero handicaps regarding learning each other's body.
Literally, not figuratively, the world might freeze over or burn up as a result of this swap, about which I will give no clues. Assuming somehow the pair solve the rapid-death problem, possible even in the context of the series, each person has a completely different philosophy about dealing with life's interruptions.
Though Boss Mead is technically the bad guy mobster, it's impossible to imagine him trying to eliminate Rainy Days to take over the whole enchilada. He's a chill spider in a web sort; he might play with the constabulary and records, while enjoying attending theatre events, throwing a state event, and confusing everybody by not acting like the Director of Home and the Nine Outer Worlds. He knows his one-week lease could end with him losing his security deposit if he's not respectful.
On the other hand, Rainy Days is a bit evil. She might take care of a few personal scores in a way only a syndicate don is capable of—with none the wiser—investigate her underlings in the constabulary and the bureaucracy with Boss Mead's mob minions to find failings or corruption, and possibly improve Boss Mead's network to force him do things she wants to happen but can't do through proper channels.
But wait.
There's one more thing!
Rainy Days gets to be male for a week? Rainy Days will gleefully take advantage of the equipment swap. Yes, she would want her swapped-out body to be on the receiving end.

“White Trash Warlock” by David R. Slayton is book one of the Adam Binder series about a young man on the track of an evil warlock. #Fantasy #Mystery
Adam has “the Sight,” the ability to see into other realms and even visit them in spirit. The gift hasn’t been very beneficial to Adam. When Adam was in high school and had very little control over his abilities, his older brother had Adam committed to a mental hospital. When he comes of age, Adam goes in search of his father, who abandoned the family when Adam was still a small boy. Adam wants answers and also believes his father might be a malevolent warlock producing evilly charmed items. The search takes him to Denver and his estranged older brother, Bobby.

#WritersCoffeeClub #WCC 2026.10.04 — How isolated are your characters in your current WIP?
Of all my characters, only the devil-girl is self-aware enough to realize she is isolated in her head—as she would point out are all people—that it is impossible to more than simulate the existence of "other" that is not oneself, that she can't prove that she isn't the only one in the universe. This is one of the reasons, perhaps, she accepts loneliness so readily, and living and studying in solitude. Nevertheless, she chooses to fill the void with people, despite her complaining and grousing about never being left alone to read and to study and to practice her tricks. She feels the best of her is that part that responds to the needs of others, for which she has trained and educated herself so diligently. In it, in her isolation, she finds purpose—and though she'd not admit that to anyone—joy. It's why she's able to commit to doing things that help those she feels responsible for—even to the point that it kills her (she's nearly died several times). In her worldview, she's not convinced death will change anything; instead, it will be the last thing she learns.
