The Impeccable Inquisitor Blundell
He's the worst investigator in the kingdom. She's been solving his cases for three years. Neither of them expected to fall in love.
Cressida Wren is the author of The Impeccable Inquisitor Blundell, the first book in a romantasy series set in the Middling Kingdom of Chiddingtonia, a world where magic runs on manners, rudeness is literally toxic, and the most dangerous weapon is a strongly worded letter.
She has a long-standing interest in fictional incompetence, the gap between what people show and what they feel, and the particular magic of being genuinely, unhelpfully, magnificently sincere. Her literary influences include P.G. Wodehouse, Terry Pratchett, Susanna Clarke, and the person who invented the Victoria sponge.
She takes her tea with opinions and her scones without raisins, and she believes the world could use more stories in which the answer to "what is the most powerful magic?" is "meaning it."
Her books are published by Declination Press.
