Sometimes you just have to stretch your wings and try something new. In this case, a little side step out of the Regency and Austen, to the Victorian Era and original characters who would be utterly at home in a Jane Austen book. With a little fantasy thrown in to make things more interesting.
Welcome to the world of the Word Wrights!
Controlling Fire, Earth, Water, and Air with a simple touch would have been much more impressive if it paid the bills.
For nearly 200 years, the Wrights have controlled the Elements, shaping them to their will,. But, the new era of industrialization threatens their extinction. Journeyman Wright Rebecca Fuller has more important things to worry about, though, like paying bills and keeping a roof over her head. Unfortunately, she inherited her father’s debts along with his shop. With the Guild limiting her prices, even a brisk business barely makes ends meet.
If only the Guild would consider her application for Mastery. But between having the audacity to be female and having studies under the most unconventional Master in the Guild, her chances were as thin as Air.
Unfortunately for Guild Undersecretary David Enright, barrister, procedural maven, and all-around rule-follower, the Guild violated its own tenets where Rebecca was concerned. With her irascible temper and unorthodox approach to working the Elements, she’s exactly what he wants most to avoid. Unfortunately, he can’t simply ignore her.
Rule-following aside, though, what she knows, what she can do, could be the key to saving the Wrights from extinction.
Audacious barely describes David’s strategy to right old wrongs. If Rebecca agrees, his plan could solve both their problems—or cost them everything.
Doing my initial Read-through before narrating it. Splendid writing!
You need a better editor. This third chapter especially is suffering.
The problem isn’t my editor, unfortunately, it’s me. I grabbed the wrong file to post–final draft not final proof. Got it fixed now. Sorry!
LOL! Such an easy mistake to make! But it made a problem that is easily solved. Glad you fixed it.
Are there 3 preview chapters? I was only able to find the first two. The link above leads to Chapter 1, but there is no link to Chapter 2 (and Chapter 3 didn’t show up even when I tried to search for the “Wrighting old wrongs” tag).
