The Oblate’s Journey – New Literary Fiction

The Oblate’s Journey – New Literary Fiction for you, my fantastic readers! My latest short story has just been published in The Thieving Magpie Lucky Issue #13. The Oblate’s Journey is the tale of one young man’s journey into the unknown, amidst the perils of the Great Pestilence of 1348. There might just be a few parallels to our current situation. Huge thanks to the editors at The Thieving Magpie.

I also want to throw out a special MEF shout-out to Jacob James Anthony Accurso for sharing his knowledge of the Benedictine orders, and particularly for his technical help on what monks of the Fourteenth Century would be wearing.

It goes without saying that you should stay tuned to the MEF posts and newsletter for updates and publishing announcements.
