JonathanGreenAuthor.com... Or should that be Gothic Thursday?
The reason? Because today I want to talk to you about
Clemency Slaughter and the Legacy of D'Eath, a grim, gothic tale born of a chance meeting at the Steampunk convention
Weekend at the Asylum last year.

So what is
Clemency Slaughter and the Legacy of D'Eath?
Well, in a nutshell, it's a book, written by Yours Truly and
fully illustrated by Tom, and it's due to be
published by Steel Quill Books, a new imprint of
NewCon Press.
