His Ragged Company - A Forrest Review

Cowboys and sandshades and wizards, oh my! If FANTASY WESTERN sounds like your cup of tea, do yourself a favor and read this review of HIS RAGGED COMPANY! You won't regret it. :)

You might’ve seen me yelling on Twitter about ROOTIN’ TOOTIN’ WIZARD COWBOYS. Yeah, that was me. I’m not sorry and I’ll do it again. His Ragged Company: A Testimony of Elias Faust by Rance D. Denton is, in fact, a book about those very things. And hell yeah, it’s weird. Good weird.  Categorized as a FANTASY WESTERN, you follow Elias Faust, the chill-ass, priorities-first, bad-ass marshal of…

I’ve temporarily lowered the price of my chonky dark fantasy novel (600+ pages) to 99c!

It’s got lots of magic, flying cars and sarcasm. There’s two POVs (it’s told in volumes). And the main couples are m/f and m/m.

Oh, and it was a BBNYA finalist! :D

Posting Again

It's a return to posting after a long absence, and our first posting as the Dyad. We've a pair of poems to share today, and a remaster of an older one. It is admitted a late start to our year of writing, but its a strong part of our return. The first poem we want to share related to the time away, and is part of Alexis processing their feelings about their father's passing.

The next is a very different kind of loss but one that they are still processing none the less. We would have shared it sooner but were waiting for a very nice magazine to very politely decline it.

Finally, we have done a remaster of an old poem, there are some sinister overtones to it, as seen in the book prologue to be (dig into our Kofi to see that), but the biggest change is likely the addition of strict metre, we hope you all enjoy.

Find out more about Teryte, support us, join the community discord, or just dig more into it all.
