The Aerialist

The typewriter proved, at first glance, to be a poor investment for a daring aerial escape.

Flash science fantasy: an unusual museum thief (a former fighter pilot) in a world dominated by Faerie, and an even more unusual escape vector. I wouldn’t mind returning to this world…

I may have had Henry Kuttner (and C. L. Moore)’s The Dark World as well as the Biggles books (hat-tip to Layla Lawlor and Sheron) on the brain!

Forthcoming book
