It’s a sad day in Chasing book sales land.
We have lost one of our favourite citizens.
The Consort found Frank the Legless Lizard at the bottom of the palace’s outdoor swimming pool this morning. The Consort was quick to scoop Frank out but felt he was past mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and CPR.
The Consort and I have our suspicions as to the culprit, but without evidence or witnesses we must remain silent and impartial.
Our suspicions turned immediately in Lolly Lizard’s direction.
Why? Because in the past weeks The Fiefdom has been preparing to honour My Fiefdomness with a lifetime literature award in recognition of the wealth my published endeavours have brought to The Fiefdom.
And because Frank was rather special, as well as being a favourite, The Consort thought he was the perfect choice to present the award.
Why was Frank special? Well, because he was a legless lizard and the only one in Chasing books sales land. He has cousins further afield but collectively they are an endangered species. Lolly had objected initially but withdrew it after Egbert the Rosella voiced the opinion that Frank was the most appropriate choice.
When we spied Lolly in the garden later in the morning we felt he had a very satisfied look in his eye.
The Consort stepped in to do the honours at the award ceremony.
Rest in peace, Frank.
