Thanks to the efforts of my covers-and-conversion squad (Tara and Will), I have a new InCryptid short for your reading pleasure—and it's the longest one yet. "Sweet Poison Wine" is the story of Jonathan and Fran's honeymoon, which goes precisely as smoothly as you'd expect, given that it's the two of them.
You can download this, and earlier free stories, here:
Please download and read locally, for the sake of my server.
This post will also serve as the discussion post, if anyone wants to talk about the story once they're done. Thanks again to everyone for reading, and for those of you who were able to chip in to the recent tip jar. The prizes begin to flow!
YAY! Thank you. Husband Miles and I just read it in parallel over our dinner this evening. He was having a rough time at work yesterday and I told him about the story as a lovely thing to look forward to and I waited to read it until he could.
Marvelous. Many bits that made me laugh out loud and we happily traded lines we really really enjoyed.
I was a bit confused - they had lunch with the tiramisu and then went back to the hotel for a "nap", did other honeymoonish expected things and THEN fell asleep, and then they are next woken up in the middle of the night. Well, I suppose honeymoonish activities might go long enough to miss dinner, or just might make you sleep that soundly.
I am not familiar with shipping tunnels...
Jonathan Healy, you are a colder man than I thought!
