Free Gadding Goose Novella
A Free Story For Tired Hearts
Join the Letters and I will send you The Longest Day of the Year (And Then Some), a gentle first visit to the Gadding Goose: the night a sentient inn found a frazzled aunt named Bryony and decided she needed looking after.
What Arrives
A Letter That Lets You Breathe
The Letters are for readers who want a little door back into wonder, not one more inbox demanding attention.
Small Notes
Notes From Ada
Small letters now and then: writing updates, Wending gossip, behind-the-scenes peeks, and the occasional cold cup of tea.
Launch News
First Through The Door
When a new Gadding Goose book opens, you will know early, without launch-day shouting or manufactured urgency.
The Story Inside
Before Etta, The Goose Chose Bryony
Bryony has the longest, most over-scheduled day of her year ahead of her and absolutely no intention of being rescued. The inn disagrees.
A short, warm tale of the night the Gadding Goose first decided someone needed looking after, and the easiest way to see whether Wending feels like somewhere you want to rest awhile.
Nettle has reviewed this arrangement and found it acceptable, on the condition of a biscuit.
What To Expect
No Pressure Hidden In The Envelope
I
Rhythm
How Often?
Rarely, honestly. A letter when there is something worth saying, usually a handful of times a year, a little more around a new book.
II
Voice
What Is The Tone?
Like a note from a friend who has tea on. Warm, a bit wry, and written for readers who came here to recover.
III
Exit
Leaving?
One click, anytime, and we part as friends. No guilt, no "are you sure," no trying to win you back with noise.
