Tallis Steelyard. A Fear of Heights (The Maljie Collection, #4)

by Jim Webster

Overview

In this novel, recounted by Tallis Steelyard in his own inimitable manner, we discover what happens when the hierarchy plots to take control of the Shrine to Aea in her Aspect as the Personification of Tempered Enthusiasm. Will the incumbent be exiled to a minor fane in the far north? Will Tallis end up having to do a proper job? Does ordination and elevation beckon for Maljie?
This story includes the Idiosyncratic Diaconate, night soil carts, Partannese bandit chieftains, a stylite, a large dog and some over-spiced food. On top of this we have not one but two Autocephalous Patriarchs and a theologically sanctioned beggar.

About the Author

Well I’ve farmed in South Cumbria all my life, milked cows for thirty years, run a suckler herd and reared calves. Then life went and afflicted me with sheep.

As well as that I’ve been a free-lance journalist, mainly covering agricultural issues. This meant reading an inordinate amount of official documents, statutory instruments, EU directives and similar. In self-defence I started writing fantasy.

I’ve had five fantasy novels published in paperback and innumerable novellas of a similar length to this short collection of stories.

To round this off I’ve got a wife and three daughters, and in spite of this, no dress sense whatsoever.

I’ve never been able to keep a diary, but over recent years I’ve written two blogs. One for Tallis Steelyard

The other covers my dogs, quads, and general farm life.   https://jandbvwebster.wordpress.com/
