Started reading The Puzzled Heiress by Lyndsay Constable (authorlyndsayconstable on TikTok, IG, and BlueSky!) on Friday during the kids’ taekwondo class! Got about 30 pages in during class, and absolutely obsessed with this story already! I knew I would be— this is the second book I ever bought that I found on Booktok (I think— definitely one of the first). The original Sherlock Holmes stories are some of my favorite reads of all time, and definitely the comfort reads that I go back to time and again. Actually, I’ve mentioned this a couple times, but the overall form of my own (Farodun Down) series is borrowed from the original SH run— that is, novel, collection of adventures, novel, collection, etc. So you can imagine that as soon as Lyndsay mentioned she had a book out that followed the estranged daughter of SH’s nemesis, Professor Moriarty, I had to grab a copy. Now, that was maybe last spring šŸ˜… but in my defense I have a really hard time reading *while* I’m writing. But! Last night I finished the second episode in the second Farodun Down book, so now on a little break, I am sitting down rn to read more!

Hey hey! I submitted Moon, Have Mercy to Reedsy Discovery and it got a five-star, ā€œmust readā€ review! (And I’m honestly a little bit obsessed with it lol). Go check it out, and while you’re there I would HELLA appreciate an upvote on the book to help it get sent to the ā€œDiscovery Pageā€. Upvote doesn’t mean you read it, it just means you think it’s interesting enough to be sent to the Discovery Page. And, in typical fashion for me, I didn’t realize this is a weekly thing, so there’s probably only a day or two left on that for me šŸ˜…šŸ˜­šŸ™‡šŸ» Either way, please go check out the review! (It’s right under the synopsis— but it’s a little hard to see where it starts)

Cat content bc I’m not feeling too verbal atm šŸ« šŸ™ƒ If you miss me (I’m kidding obv) my book, Moon, Have Mercy, is available like pretty much everywhere atp, I think? I have it in KDP, Ingram Spark, and then the ebook on Kindle/Kindle Unlimited. I was working on the audiobook but I admit that has temporarily stalled. I promise to get back to it soon!

Left for dĆ«d in an acid swallet on the bitter little moon of Ilex, Farodun wasn’t meant to survive. He swears he’ll get the bargawhelp that put him there, if it’s the last thing he does. The pup’s got a lot to learn and a long way to go. In an indifferent universe, revenge may be what he thinks he wants, but is it what he needs? Follow Farodun as he finds his way.

I’m so happy to be able to share this book with everyone after years of it being simply ā€œin progressā€ and hope it can find its people here on YouTube. Available now on Amazon, Kindle, and KU.

Farodun is an adolescent Human boy growing up on Ilex. This outcast moon of Aylini Gynth is nothing like its lovely sisters, Ieus and Farodunus, and here, a treacherous, geologically young terrain and alarming megafauna lie in wait just beyond its cities’ limits. Meanwhile, systemic neglect and corruption have allowed organized crime to take root there, leaving places like Farodun’s home town vulnerable to forces outside the law.

When Farodun wakes up left for dead in a dangerous sinkhole on the Gilmarus Karst, he vows vengeance against those who put him there—if only he can escape. That’s something that seems unlikely at best, that is, until he’s rescued by a stranger whose motivations are as opaque as their armor. He can only hope for some little mercy, that this newcomer is a friend and not a foe, and that his situation has not simply gone from bad to worse. Contemplating his revenge, the question arises: Is that even what he’s really looking for?

Follow Farodun as he is thrust into a world of power and conflict he barely understands. As the past collides with his present, he must navigate a path carved by centuries of strife to forge his future.

With 27 original illustrations that bring the lore and landscapes of Moon, Have Mercy to life, this is both a visual and narrative journey of survival, perseverance, and the Human desire for home.
