    Summary

    Three weeks before Henry Fox's tour for his fourth, highly anticipated, awards-bait novel A Brief War in December begins, his publicist Janella breaks her foot on a bunny slope at Windham.

    Alex can't be mad at her, even though he kind of is. Saying it out loud would be like kicking her when she was down, and she already went down a literal mountain in the worst way possible.

    Now crammed in Rafael Luna's corner office, Janella is shooting Alex extremely apologetic looks while slumped on her crutches, wearing a bright orange cast. The conversation about who is going to be joining Henry Fox on his multi-city trek across the U.S. is also going downhill. Alex is feeling the same sort of free fall while standing still.

    Because out of all the publicists available in their tiny underfunded department, the only one left to escort their company's best-selling author is regrettably him.

    The problem is, well, Alex absolutely hates Henry Fox.

    Or: Alex is the publicist for Mountchristen Publishers, and is stuck on a two-week tour with their best-selling, but frustrating, author Henry Fox.

    UPDATE: complete and now with art!

    So, even though Alex knows his own choice, he still surprises himself when he leaves.

    Summary

    Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor surprised me. When he was born - small and unassuming, heartbeat a slow, meagre thing - I thought I’d gotten things mixed up, somehow. I could see him at twenty-five: quietly confident and classically handsome, a spitting image of his father. Loved by millions, with a love for the ages. But to get from this snuffling child to that self-assured man would be a long road, and I was getting ahead of myself, yes. I had to scale back. I had to be patient.
