In this "Hitchhiker's Guide" meets "Dungeons & Dragons" darkly comical fantasy...

Depressive 50 year-old struggling artist Hodge-Podge Heirloom gets drawn into one of her paintings and discovers a fantastical and ridiculous world of swords & sorcery, magic & mayhem, monsters & beasties, and popcorn & anthropomorphic pets. Despite her crippling fear of doors, she must get over her social anxieties, her clumsy low self-esteem, and work around her ADHD to somehow bring both good AND evil together as one army against an Ancient God that wants nothing more than to see the entire universe simply go away.

A new chapter (hopefully) released once a week(ish)!

**Featured on DARK FANTASY and ADULT FICTION reading lists** WARNING: EATING OR DRINKING WHILE READING THIS STORY IS HIGHLY INADVISABLE. Once Upon A Time, Good Omens, Monty Python, and Arrested Development had a back-alley three-way and birthed a fairytale. Gerald wasn't supposed to be stuck living seven centuries in the future. He definitely wasn't supposed to be "mentoring" The Dark Lord's progeny in the hopes that she would decide to save the world rather than destroy it. In fact, he wasn't even supposed to be named Gerald (the name of every other male in his family for three hundred years), because everyone assumed a weak-chinned, balding, forgettable man, who was just a magician, could never be who Geraldo The Foreshadower prophesied. But that's what assuming gets you, and here he was saddled with a fate he never asked for, in a time he didn't know, surrounded by people he didn't want to like, and he was out of Firewine AGAIN! The Dark Heir is a darkly satirical tale of assumptions, anti-heroes, and apocalypses, where the road to hell is actually a themed water-park slide covered in slightly less urine than a real one. It drops literary and film references faster than an NYC socialite drops names, and promises endless laughs - including, but not limited to, sad chuckles, guffaws, uncontrollable giggles at inappropriate moments, brays, barks, cackles, snorts, cachinnations, and the occasional howl (though that may be the Welsh Werewolves showing up unannounced). Consider yourself warned... Reviews: "Completely and adorably bonkers," says @floranocturna "Hilarious in every way. Even when I cringed, I laughed," says @LadySapphire2018 Winner of The Trident Awards

This book is a companion to my books Without a King and Wanderlust. This is for anyone who, like me, enjoys extra details about fictional worlds. Updates will happen sporadically, simply because I don't want to spoil anything that is revealed at strategic times during the books. However I will assume that anyone checking this out is up to date with the novels. It will include information like maps, world history, notes about different cultures, mythology, and anything else I have created that I think people might find interesting!
