Bazgul and Patreon Sneak Peeks

Team Bazgul

For those of you who’ve read my first book, The Girl with the Uninvited Ghost, you may have developed a bit of a crush on Bazgul, Mahogany’s demon familiar.

One of the major pieces of feedback I received from beta readers was, ‘More Bazgul.’ I couldn’t agree more. We all need more Bazgul. So I delivered. Book two, The Girl and the Clock Tower Murder, has way more Bazgul.

Building Bazgul’s Character

At first, Bazgul was more of a sidekick. But as the book developed, I involved more of the supporting characters with their own points of view. This moved the narrative from a singular main character to more of an ensemble cast. Now readers can get to get inside the mind of Bazgul. See how he feels and thinks, what motivated him.

As I ready the second book, The Girl and the Clock Tower Murder for its December release, I have added chapters and sent others to the trash. As new chapters develop, I share them on my Patreon. A recent new chapter features Bazgul in the form or a puppy.

Shape Shifting

Bazgul sneak peek

Since I can’t draw, I inputted a description of what I wanted him to look like into Microsoft Designer and boy, I was anything by disappointed. AI nailed it. I couldn’t have wished for a better version of Bazgul as a puppy if I tried.

If you’re interested in getting a gander at what our favorite demon spider might look like as a puppy, you can join my Patreon (it’s free) to get sneak peaks and access to exclusive content.
