London, 1252: Gavin Rownt finds himself caught in the middle of a rift between two old friends when a troupe of actors he once knew returns to London after a ten-year absence. When one of the players, a child actor, goes missing, he agrees to search for the boy, only to discover that young Adam is not what he seems. As Rownt works to discover whether the reason for the childβs disappearance lies in the scandals and betrayals of the actorsβ past or in the boyβs short life before the troupe took him in, he finds himself facing an unexpectedly dangerous opponent.
The Playersβ Boy is a mystery about loyalty and betrayal set amidst the violence of thirteenth-century London. Perfect for fans of historical fiction and mysteries.

Boosts welcomed! πβ€οΈ
Are you working on a Mac or iOS open source project? Do you want end user documentation written for it? Hit me up π
I want to give back to the open source community in a way I can.
Iβm a technical writer by trade, and a lot of projects lack good end user documentation. If you have an open source project of a reasonable size, Iβd be happy to work on it with you to create documentation for it π
Iβd really appreciate a boost so developers can see this
My conference is wrapped up, which means that I have to turn my attention to the serious job-hunting.
I'm a software dev -- generalist, but I've spent a lot of time working on scripting languages, VMs, UIs for VMs, that sort of thing. The past few years I've been in games (Unity/Unreal) but after two big studio layoffs/shutdowns in fourteen months that's not looking rosy. So it's back to general tech for me.
Looking for remote, as that's how I'm most productive.
An eggcorn is when someone mistakes a word for a different word, often in the context of an idiom. It comes from the surprisingly common mistake of thinking the word "acorn" is actually "eggcorn".
Anyway, my favourite eggcorns are the ones that imply the existence of a powerful and mysterious animal, such as "and their elk" (instead of "and their ilk"), "from the gecko" (instead of "from the get-go"), and, most recently, "locust of control" (instead of "locus of control"). #linguistics
