Imperial Magic, the second full-length novel in the Merchant and Empire series, is now available through Amazon.
Be prepared to learn far too much about furs, laws, and the challenges of being Tycho Rhonarida’s son.
Just what did leave that giant cat-like footprint in the alley behind the wares-house, anyway?
So, I started the draft of Tycho Rhonarida’s further adventures…
“Twreeeessssss!” The lead great-hauler beside Tycho lunged for the passing ovstrala, trying to bite a chunk out of the hairy, cow-like beast’s shoulder.

Staring at the next few weeks with a “deer in the headlights” expression and growing sense that the light really does belong to a speeding freight train.
OK, besides that.
Howdy! I’m looking for a few brave souls to alpha read Imperial Magic, the sequel to Merchant and Magic. I need comments back by the end of August, if possible.
If you are interested in reading the draft and flagging things that don’t make sense, or truly outstanding tyops, er, typos, please contact me at AlmaTCBoykin AT aol DOT com.
Many thanks!
