Six-Crossed Knot: Harm's Repair

By the start of Harm's Repair, Jack has reunited with Diana and Matthew in the present time. A few weeks earlier, Diana had given birth to twins. The newly enlarged family is now gathering at Sept-Tours for the christening. But simmering underneath the happy events are unresolved issues. Baldwin has yet to get his blessing to the proposed Bishop-Clairmont scion. As for Benjamin, nothing has been heard from him since he attacked Phoebe. And you just know that won't last for long.

In this story, I complete my take on Jack's journey up to and a little beyond the third All Souls novel, The Book of Life. It gave me the chance to spend quality time with Marcus, Phoebe, Miriam, Fernando, and Chris. Sophie Norman and her husband Nathaniel Wilson make their first appearance in Six-Crossed Knot. Sophie is also a new mother. Even though she and Nathaniel are daemons, their baby Margaret is a witch.

The scenes with Phoebe were particularly delightful to write and she provided more than a few ideas about possible future directions for Jack. I haven't decided if I'll continue writing the series. Much will depend on readers. In Harm's Repair, I added some twists that could be the start of future adventures or they may simply be ideas to daydream about. As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
