The GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING by Kelly Thompson. Above illustration by Stephanie Hans.

Kelly’s been releasing chapters of this novel weekly on her site, and let me tell ya, it is fantastic. Currently four chapters are posted and I’m eagerly awaiting the next. She’s planning to self publish with funds earned via Kickstarter beginning Monday, June 25th.

If you’re a fan of tough ladies, this book’s for you. I really can’t recommend it enough, and really, when it’s free, what do you have to lose?
