The Errant Scribe [Dark Comedy, Strategy, Sci-Fi Fantasy]

The universe is governed by the Scriptorium, an institution outside time and space entrusted with the power to write new worlds into existence and to edit what doesn't seem to be going as fated. Cassian Quilljack knows this because he used to be a scribe there. Then he got demoted to field editor, which is a glamorous title meaning “go fix reality somewhere horrible and try not to die.” His tool is red ink, the only thing that can rewrite existence quickly enough to matter. But red ink only comes from one place: space dragon blood. So, the Scriptorium does what any moral bureaucracy would do. It lures dragons out of their meteor den, lets cosmic radiation kill them, harvests the blood, and calls it “necessary.” Until the year the dragons stop coming out. Cassian gets sent. Because he’s expendable.He makes one edit. Because he’s Cassian.And the universe reacts the way it always does to bureaucracy: it completely breaks in the funniest possible way.Will he fix the mess he started? Chapters are paused until the editor finishes the book and I revise. (I'm currently writing book 2 of Shatterpoint.) _____________________________What to expect:-Cosmic bureaucracy-Space dragons-Portal hops, timeline weirdness, and causality rules that bite back-A smart, arrogant protagonist who keeps making everything worse-Comedy with teeth, plus occasional existential dread-Fast pacing and frequent cliffhangers ____________Who is this story for?If you enjoy smart protagonists, space, time-travel, multiple realities, or reading Douglas Adams’The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxyor Terry Pratchett’s playful writing style, this story is for you.
