Cover Reveal: Checks, Balances and Proper Procedure in Monster Hunting by Seán O'Boyle
Blurb:
Welcome to The Wavering Plane. Home to many odd and wonderful nations; one of which is The Galzarian Empire. A proud, defiant and slightly paranoid realm - with plenty of paperwork to boot.
Here, every aspect of life has the requisite laws, forms and reports, overseen by Galzar’s many bureaucratical branches, known as Parliaments. And that includes monsters.
For Rella Trattle, clerk at the Monstrosity Parliament, horrid tales of bestial encounters are ordinary and mundane. Monsters kill folk, monsters get slayed, forms must be filled and reports completed. There is little to be surprised by.
That is until an unusual case lands on her desk, chucking centuries of Galzarian statute out of the window. She soon finds herself thrust into an administrative mess that is a beast of its own - with the complainants involved being the worst bloody part.
Rella is a master with ink and parchment, but it’ll take more than that to unravel this Star-blinding nightmare.

Author Bio:
Seán O'Boyle is an Irish, London-based, writer on his self-publishing journey. Since he was a young lad, he's loved creating stories; whether scribbling short fiction in his school copybooks, or creating dramatic home movies with his toys. He's even dabbled in the fine art of stand up comedy, with about half a dozen sitcom scripts rotting in the forgotten folders of his old laptops. His love for fantasy covers all genres; epic, cozy and everything in between.
Seán's hope as a writer is to create characters, worlds and stories loved by his readers. Hopefully they might laugh too (or at least exhale sharply through their noses a few times). In March 2024, he published his debut novel "The Ballad of Sprikit The Bard (And Company)".
