Whew. It is so many months overdue, but finally I have a release date for my new short film, #TheNightDancer and since Halloween is just around the corner I thought why not show it to you on that day? It is supposed to be a horror, after all 😊

But here is a trailer (sort of) will give you a hint of what to expect (I hope) though I have mixed feeling about how the film came out, but more on that in a proper BTS blog!

The siege of the bank had been going on for hours. Scores of police blocked off the street, and on top of a nearby building a TV news crew broadcast the standoff to a waiting nation.

Then the crew noticed movement. A young woman, dressed in a black skirt,leather vest, and Doc Martins, wearing headphones, was making her way through the police lines. She spoke to no-one, but no-one tried to stop her. She walked up to the front door of the bank, and went inside.

After a few minutes, the bank robbers and the hostages all started filing out, most of them with their heads hung low, some crying. One of the bank robbers raised a gun to his own head, and then just gave up, dropped it, and sat down, head in his hands.

From the flanks, the police moved in and secured everyone. The police in the centre did nothing at all. A few of them had likewise sat down and appeared to be oblivious to what was going on around them.

The news crews closed in.

Getting a coherent story out of anyone proved difficult. Most people just asked what the point was. Some shrugged and said nothing at all. Eventually the news crews pieced together what had happened. Wherever the young woman had walked, people around her were struck with a sense of hopelessness, despair, or just all consuming apathy. Those on the edges were least affected, those closest, the most.

The rooftop news crew kept watch as the crowds slowly dispersed. After an hour or so the mystery woman walked out, looked around, looked up at the news crew and gave them the finger. Then she walked off, the world just a little greyer and duller as she passed.

The city had a new hero. The Goth. And she didn't care.

Profile bio checks out; I forgot my earphones and microfibre cloth, but not my ereader. Back to P. Djéli Clark's The Master of Djinn, gripping enough to not be disturbed by surrounding noise and dirty glasses.

#ScribesAndMakers what makes your work unique?

Tagging my girl @ljwrites for this b/c like her, I don't think I write completely unique things, but it can come off as unique to the modern reader.

I also write #historicalfiction, but even my #sff employs the same philogical methodology that #Tolkien does. For example, my MC in my vampire novel does not fully understand the language of the world she's in.

I also base a lot of my worlds on medieval #Arab #CentralAsian and #Chinese societies.

There are many historical romance novels where the feisty heroine is forced into marriage with the alpha male hero. Eventually she learns to love and submit to her new lord, and they live happily every after. In a distant future, this story is playing out again -- with one minor difference.

Bound by his Oath is available now for $2.99

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09Z698GGF

"Bound by his Oath by Jess Mahler"  The 'O' in 'Oath' is oversized. Inside it is a knight wearing chainmail, looking away from the viewer with head bowed and holding a reversed sword. Behind him is a sunset.
