The Winding Sims

To catch you up, Denken has been picking fights and is a general terror on the local neighbourhood

Antimony insists on being naked?? (Denken is unsurprisingly naked)

Everyone keeps setting themselves on fire

And Gloucester went to bed with stubble and woke up with a full beard

quickish Finch sketch, using Mikey North as a reference, since that's been in my head since answering the question about character casting choices

"Never tell anyone you don't trust the whole truth. They'll just strangle you with it later."

Get back in touch with Cassus Finch! Sarcastic, roguish, magically gifted, and maybe just the teensiest bit apologetic for past misdeeds.

Pre-Order from the Publisher Bookshop (ebook will be available on the date of release) - Pre-Order it through a North American indie bookshop

“You know,” said Finch, his arms still bracing Gloucester’s shoulders and back. “The whole swooning into my arms thing is pretty adorable, but maybe now’s not the best time, aye?”

4 DAYS until The Winding is out and you get to meet Cassus Finch!

The Winding Sim Adventures

Finch kicks a cursed doll

Denken and Finch get in a fight

Denken unsurprisingly wins

If you’re wondering where Gloucester was during this whole confrontation, here he is

Antimony gets struck by lightning and is, in true Antimony fashion, completely unfazed by this. Decides to clean up by getting buck naked in the middle of a conversation and showering in the rain

Meet the characters of my upcoming novel!

Who’s Who: Cassus Finch

Red haired, green eyed and heartily freckled, Finch (Cassus to his friends, of which there are few) is a resourceful and quick-thinking practitioner of magic. The son of a hedge witch and a magician, he was raised to know magic as an integral part of life. He's quick with a smile and a joke, but dangerous if crossed. He has multiple tattoos, including one of a sun on the left side of his brow, though whether it has magical uses or is just a bold fashion statement is hard to say. Also hard to say: just how trustworthy he is.

For a long time as the story of The Winding percolated in my brain, Finch didn’t have a name. I’d given him the placeholder title of ‘Young Bad Guy’ (to go with his father ‘Old Bad Guy’). Once I started properly writing, he not only gained an actual name, but a much more complex personality and role in the story. There’s a spark between him and Gloucester, but sometimes playing with fire just gets you burned.
