A novel i outlined under the title Mantis in 2011, and which i have been attempting to write since 2013, is finally complete.

This is a fantasy with a dark catholic setting.

Lynn will be serializing the entire novel on substack.

In the mean time, if you'd like an advance copy with my endearing typos for a donation you think appropriate, email me at jameslafond@proton.me.

The Story runs 16 chapters and an epilogue with an appendix of 5 nonfiction articles i wrote while completing it these past 10 days.

Thanks for your support.
