Some of you may remember the post-script at the end of Maiden Flight of the Avenger. In it, I said I was getting out of podcasting to follow my dreams of selling a novel.

Last week, that dream came true.

Featuring Pullman-esque world building and set in a future Alabama city known as ‘The Hole,’ Every Mountain Made Low tells the story of Loxley, a young autistic woman whose family have the ability to see the restless dead. But for Loxley, the spirits of the deceased can see her back; they’re drawn to her like a bright fire, and their lightest touch leaves her with painful wounds. She avoids them as best she can, but she can’t say no to the spectre of Nora, her only friend, who was alive just hours ago. Swearing to take blood for blood and find her friend’s killer, she finds herself drawn into a conspiracy that will see her hunted down by the brutal enforcer of the corporate interests who reign over the hellish city.

I hope you’ll join me in following along through the publication process on my new site, www.alexrwhite.com. And I know I’ve tested your patience for the past three years, but I hope you’ll indulge me for a little longer. If this book is successful, that’ll help The Gearheart out tremendously.

Now is the time! The Seekers of the Arcane Unknown have stood by long enough as the equally long-named Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences began hording occult artifacts. It’s time to infiltrate their ranks and take them apart from the inside. How better to do that than from within their world, using the new RPG from Galileo Games? We need to help them get funded, so we can roll up characters, jump into their story, and take back what rightfully belongs in our Quartmaster’s vault in Circeville! Forget slash fiction. We shall write slash and burn fiction.

As your Headmaster, I’m offering you a bounty: you throw me a tweet or share my Facebook post, and you’ll be entered to win a copy of my Ministry fiction, “The Boy, the Bomb & the Witch, Who Returned.” The winner will also receive a copy of the “Last Days of the October Squadron Soundtrack.”
