'Ghosts in Quicksilver' Ongoing Audiobook
Project Overview
'Ghosts in Quicksilver' is an ongoing webnovel sponsored by Patreon. It follows the story of Jamal Kaye, a young private dectective wannabe with the power to see and speak to the dead, as she tries to solve a murder. Currently, I cannot offer payment, but as the Patreon sponsorship increases, that will change. This is an ongoing partnership but there is no commitment - if you do the three extant chapters and choose not to remain, that is acceptable, if somewhat saddening.

Mrs. Chaudhury walked up the narrow steps into my office at six in the afternoon, and the ghost of her dead husband followed behind.
It wasn’t much of an office yet, really. It felt a little more like a closet, especially with all the boxes still scattered around, labelled variously with ‘books’, ‘random crap’, ‘personal shit’, so on, so forth - and I had my head too deep in one of those boxes to hear her entry through my muttered curses.
“Is this the Private Investigations office?”
Gurjas Chaudhury was waiting very patiently for me - for us - once I got back up the stairs. It was kind of unnerving, actually. “You lied to my wife.”
Ah. “Yes.” I paused. “You’re blunt. That’s useful.”
“How old are you?”
They just gave me a crooked grin, dark eyes sparkling. “Just stay out of trouble, okay?” This time, I caught the hint of a French accent lingering under their words.
