They'll probably edit out all the good grumpiness, the final version will probably have lost grump. So here it is unedited and uncut!!!
So I've been accused of being a bit grumpy. But am I too grumpy to be a writer? Bollocks, of course I'm not. No emotion is too coarse, too trivial, or too demeaning for a writer to use, though we work it to a style appropriate to the audience. Of course I'm grumpy. I'm the king of grumpiness. I'm a lot of other things too. But my grumpiness is a tool I can use. So here it is, an example of Grumpy at work, an excerpt from the start of the Fourth Fairly Stillwart Chronicle (Tory Blithe and the St John's Pixie). No Character is as grumpy as the character Muckrake the Elder. So read it, enjoy it, and go buy the other ones. There's a link if you click the picture below. They'll probably edit out all the good grumpiness, the final version will probably have lost grump. So here it is unedited and uncut!!! Prologue: I Don’t Do Fairly Stuff

well you write grumpy well, but I don't think you're an overly grumpy person!

This promises to be the best book of the three. Now I can tell that Muckrake the Elder can tell a yarn, and he seems to be as grumpy as his creator...no I don't mean the Queen of the Pixies, the other creator, that Scott feller from way down under. The human creator. Well,,,we shall see, won't we?
