My Top 5 Favourite UK Insects I’ve Seen: Introduction

A new series for #InsectWeek #InsectWeek22 as I take a look at some of the favourite #insects I've seen on my #invertebrate spotting walks and share my #love and #appreciation of them with you! #Nature #Wildlife #Photography #Bugs #Entomology #wasplove

The always beloved bumblebee may not need much effort to boost its reputation, but other insects may be just as valuable and sadly underappreciated or even persecuted. (Credit: Me) Happy Insect Week! If you’ve been following for a while you’ll know my history with insects, but if not here’s the story. I was, at one point, before an autistic burnout turned my dreams to ashes, an aspiring…

Tempest-Specific GOIs [Masterlist 2/2]

[A = Ally, P = Partner, N = Neutral, T=Threat; vignettes attached if applicable]

Shibuya Ghost Detectives (A) A group of young adults that work to put to rest the many ghosts and spirits of Japan, although they tend to handle cases in Shibuya. They have worked with the Foundation's Japan branch to help with any paranormal anomalies

Snapdragon Smugglers (N) [Cold, Auction, Report] One of the first Tempest-specific GOIs to be jotted down. The kings of the anomalous black market, they'll steal, sell, kidnap, destroy, and kill in order for them to make a profit. Oddly honest.

Talvania Author Society (P) A former secret society that is less cullt-like but still meets in secret to discuss how to preserve and enforce knowledge. A fierce rivalry with the Mystery Masqueraders. Currently on good terms with us since we helped save Lily Teca.

The Cinephile Club (N) A club dedicated to all things film, but they land on our list since not only are all the members anomalous, but the movies they make are to. We must be vigilant whenever movie theaters change out their movies, for they might try to sneak one of their own in.

The Curious Caravan (N) One of the few truly neutral GOIs, they only appear to those in dire need of assistance when traveling. They are well known for having the POI, The Lady with a Cart, who saved a few stranded personnel members.

The Expressionists (A/N) A group of anomalous artists consisting of punks, art students, AWCY? members and more, they tend to hang out around train depots and work. Have allied in the past, but have also clashed with events such as the Paris Paint Panic.

The Flora Fighters (T) [Misson, News, Report] A group of Eco-terrorists that seek to eliminate all human life and reset the world to a plant utopia. They are one of the few groups that almost shattered the veil when they used the Gaia Seed and grew a plant monster in the center of Prague.

The Golden Gambler Casino (N) Formed by Jack Royal, this anomalous casino is the definition of "The House Always has the Advantage". Infinite gambling, spontaneous anger, and rigged games fill this avarice den. While you have a chance at winning, it is best to avoid entering if you want your wallet and sanity.

The Horror Havocs (N) Formed by brothers Luke and Letif Rangel, these two seek to show the world that horror is still a good genre and that the world can and should be more spooky. Frequently teams up with The Cinephile Club; actively tries to help other students escape Brunshire Academy.

The Moonshine Makers (N) Moonshining is still a business and these illegal manufacturers are thriving from it. With their dangerously alcoholic and Veil-ruining moonshine, they could topple the world, but why bother when it can churn out such a profit?

The Neon Nightsticks (T) Dominating the world of cybercrime, these hackers do everything for their betterment, and have no care for whoever they are stalking, doxxing, and hacking. Your credit cards and passwords are forfeit and may have already been compromised.

The Plague (T) A group made up of "The Immune", who claim that they "Must plague the earth in pestilence so that it can be reborn". It is believed they created the different plagues and pandemics that have littered the world and killed many. Be cautious whenever approaching them.

The Popcorn Palace (N) Created out of anon magic, this group is one of anomalous humans made of differently flavored popcorn. Their status as a new GOI means we have little information on them as well as their end goals.

The Troupe of Shadows (T) [Thoughts, Mission, Report] Having existed since the feudal era, the Troupe of Shadows is a hard GOI to place. The ringleader determines their status as friend or foe, and unfortunately, the current ringleader is the evilest one yet and has even garnered enough hate that the Foundation created a task force specifically made to hunt her down.

West Virginia Bug Committee (T) Originally an entomology club, a zealous Mark Mosura took over and changed it into a group comprised of insectoid humans all of who wish to summon Mothman so that he can help them dominate the world.

Worldwide Photography Co. (P) Posing as a camera distributor, the Worldwide Photography Co. has been using their cameras and abilities to take stunning photographs, although these ones tend to move, attack, and much more! Currently has a prodigy known as Dimitri Polar.

Mr. Gardiner and the Governess - Clairvoir Castle, Book 1

A duke’s governess, a gentleman entomologist, and a castle full of flowers is the perfect setting for a summer romance. As the new governess to the duke's family, Alice Sharpe must learn to control her impulsiveness. Employment in the duke’s household is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and could mean living in comfort the rest of her days. Unfortunately, her first encounter with the duke's houseguest, a handsome gentleman obsessed with insects, proves she may not be ready for the austere role of governess.

Rupert Gardiner has one goal: to have his work in entomology and botany published by the Royal Society. He is fortunate that the Duke of Montfort, believes in him and enlists Rupert to make a record of all the flora on the castle grounds. But Miss Sharpe’s spontaneity and continual appearance during his work is an annoying distraction. At least, that’s what he tells himself.

While Alice struggles to adapt to her new role, constantly striving to go unnoticed while still being herself, she cannot help but admire Rupert’s intelligence and focus. The more often they fall in together, the more her admiration deepens. But could a gentleman such as he ever fall in love with the governess?

A Companion for the Count - Clairvoir Castle, Book 2

Miss Emma Arlen’s position as a companion never included distracting her mistress’s suitors, but when a handsome Italian ambassador arrives determined to find an English bride, Emma happily takes up the cause.

Emma Arlen has spent a decade as a member of the duke’s family, in the position of companion to his daughter and ward to the duke himself. She would do anything to show her support to the ducal family for their love and kindness. When Lady Josephine begs Emma to distract a most determined Sicilian suitor, she agrees at once. How hard can it be to keep one man entertained for a few weeks?

Luca, the Conte di Atella, left his home in the newly formed Kingdom of the Two Sicilies under the direct orders of King Ferdinand I. Luca’s duty as ambassador to England includes everything from negotiating better trade agreements to strengthening the bonds between the two nations. If possible, by marrying a lady of high birth. When he optimistically sets his sights on Lady Josephine, Miss Arlen consistently disrupts his plans. The more time that passes, the more he realizes he does not mind at all.

Continually in the conte’s company, Emma recognizes in him a spirit of adventure and nobility like she has never witnessed before. When the time comes for him to go, will she be able to part with him and keep her heart intact?

Sir Andrew and the Authoress - Clairvoir Castle, Book 3

As the daughter of a duke, Lady Josephine has a long list of responsibilities, and an even longer list of things she must never do to dishonor the family name. Josephine knows exactly which side becoming an author falls upon, but she's determined to try her hand at it anyway. For months she has worked on her novel in secret, writing chapter after chapter of intrigue and romance. Unfortunately for Josephine, her sworn enemy stumbles upon her secret.

Sir Andrew Wycomb's close relationship to the Duke of Montfort's family and heir gives him more than one advantage in life. His loyalty to the family is absolute, even if he finds at least one of its members an annoyance. He and Lady Josephine have never seen eye-to-eye. But when he discovers that she's written a novel upon a subject she knows nothing about, he cannot help but sympathize with her dream. This creates an unlikely ceasefire between them.

But things at the castle are always changing, and when a determined suitor arrives to court Josephine, Andrew has to decide which secrets he's going to keep. Especially when he discovers the one he's kept even from himself - that perhaps he doesn't find Josephine an annoyance at all. In fact, she is quite charming. The more time they spend together, the more he hopes she will realize they aren't enemies, and they could be so much more...

Lord Farleigh and Miss Frost - Clairvoir Castle, Book 4

Isleen Frost wishes her family had stayed in Dublin for Christmas but understands it would have been folly to decline an invitation to the Duke of Montfort’s Christmastide house party. Isleen refuses to allow the opulent castle and powerful duke to impress her. But the duke’s eldest son, Lord Farleigh, is another matter entirely.

Raised as the heir to a duke, Simon Dinard, Lord Farleigh, has learned to project a calm self-assurance despite an inner fear he will never be as confident a leader as his father. When a friendly wager and a spirited Irish lady challenge all his unspoken thoughts, he determines to prove her wrong—and ignore the growing attraction between them.

Christmas celebrations at the castle are always full of surprises, but Isleen and Simon are not at all prepared for the feelings the season inspires between them. An Irish miss and a duke’s son have no business falling in love. But the magic of sleigh rides, snow-covered hills, and mistletoe might change their minds...

A Duchess for the Duke - Prequel Clairvoir Castle Novella

A young duke finds a practical duchess, neither of them suspecting that their match will lead to a legacy of love.

Gregory Dinard, a young and inexperienced duke, finds himself in need of a companion to help him navigate the intricacies of his new role. Uncertain of his abilities and unwilling to take a chance at love, he looks for a marriage of mutual benefit rather than a match of mutual affection.

A woman of grace and intelligence, Lady Cecilia never expects to catch a duke’s eye. Despite her surprise, she agrees to the arrangement when the duke proposes an alliance with her, knowing it would allow her the freedom and opportunity to explore her love of architecture.

As they embark on their new life together, Gregory discovers both an affection for and an undeniable attraction to his wife that he cannot ignore. But can a practical marriage become something more, or will he face a future of unrequited love for his duchess?

This is the prequel novella to the Clairvoir Castle Romances series, and can be enjoyed as a standalone, but will be most satisfying to those who have met the duke and duchess before.
