Below is a small excerpt from the novel. Please note, this is still a first draft and subject to change, but I did want to at least provide a little sample. I’ll be posting a larger excerpt (likely from an entirely different passage) for patrons later on, but here’s a tiny snippet to start with.

The morning was sunny and the skies were clear, though there was still a slight nip to the air that made them thankful for the cloaks they wore draped loosely over their shoulders. Birds were chirping in the brightly flowered branches of the trees that lined the main thoroughfare of the Flower District, and the smell of freshly baked breads and pastries wafted through shop windows on the gentle breeze that fluttered their hair as they passed, the loud clopping of their horses’ hooves on the cobblestones echoing around them. As they neared the edges of the District, coming up to the busy intersection that would lead them further into the city, they were approached by a City Watch patrol.
