Gilding the Lily: And Other Stories of Myrcia

By J.S. Mawdsley

Change is coming. After centuries of peace, came war; after war, came questions about the succession. What will come next? In Gilding the Lily: And Other Stories of Myrcia, see how some of the major players in the next phase of Myrcia's history became people willing to do anything to win the throne.

J.S. Mawdsley

We’re a husband and wife novel writing team and have been since about a month after our marriage in 2007. He’s a teacher of education law. She’s a Librarian. Being able to write together so happily once made a friend remark that we are as mythical as unicorns. J.S. Mawdsley live in Ohio, where they share their house with half a dozen dying houseplants, and their yard with a neighborhood cat named Eugene, a mother deer and her fawn, affectionately known as the Countess and Cherubino, and a couple of blue jays, Henry and Eleanor.
