Hunting the Egret is a gothic novel set in a fictional village near the Severn. This is the landscape I grew up in, and the landscape I live in now. I wrote the first draft of this book more than twelve years ago, during a period when I wasn't living in this landscape. It was first published by a house called Love You Divine - an erotica publisher. It is fair to say that the book has some sexual content.
If I was writing the same story now, I'd no doubt do it differently. However, I try not to endlessly edit things. Past me had a slightly different voice and was writing from different experiences and feelings.This is a gothic novel and it goes to a lot of dark places, so, trigger warnings for all kinds of troubling things. It's about as close as I get to writing romance fiction but it is on the bloody and deranged side.
I've slung this out into the world as a paperback through the medium of Amazon. People who support me as glass herons over on Patreon get a copy sent to them.
I've also put an ebook version up on ko-fi, and that's a pay what you like arrangement. If you don't have the disposable income to buy books right now, please just take a copy if you fancy it. Have a poke around in my ko-fi shop and have any ebooks you like. I've done abject poverty and not having money to spend on books. For me Project Gutenberg has been a sanity saver. This is why I put out free copies of my own work.
If you're in a position where you can afford to buy the ebook instead, that's cool and you're helping me give books to people who can't do that. Gift economy is a beautiful thing. If patronage is your thing and you'd like to help me do more of this sort of thing, Patreon is a good way of doing that.
