A dark elf-looking woman with dark eyes in a modern blue blouse, ripped black jeans, and black combat boots with her white hair tied in a ponytail draped over her right shoulder stands on the left. On the right, a taller, light-skinned man with long black hair and blue eyes in a gray hoodie, black tshirt, blue jeans, and black shoes stands next to her with his hands in his hoodie pockets. Beneath them is an excerpt from Firewind's Accord: "If Jordan hadn't been so horrifically depressed, he would have caught the over-the-top appeal to his better nature. Lucky for her, his depression made him as perceptive as Mister Magoo in a diving helmet. He thumbed the rim of his cup as he tried summoning the will to care about his job. But maybe it wasn't his job he needed to care about. Maybe he could do right by someone in unwanted circumstances. Maybe he could be a benefit to someone instead of a detriment. There's a first time for everything."

A drawing of a half-Asian man in a gray hoodie and blue jeans with long black hair, blue eyes and an office badge on a lanyard around his neck. The lanyard is being pulled down by a shorter, dark-skinned elf-like woman with long silver hair pulled into a ponytail and dark eyes. She's wearing a silver necklace with a ruby pendant, a blue long-sleeved blouse, and black pants with her hand on her hip. They are framed by the outline of leaves and vines, and in the corners, L-R, U-D: a paper coffee cup, a black cat's head, a dagger, and a cracked smartphone screen. The title in the upper-right corner is Firewind's Accord, and the author's name on the bottom is David J. Stuart.

A peach-gradient background. The cover for Firewind's Accord is on the right (see other image's alt text for cover description). On the left are a list of tropes: "Office romance with elves and orcs and all that; Pro-immigration story; What's the trope where two people are forced to work together and eventually fall in love? Yeah, that one; Sex, drugs, and rock & roll!" And underneath everything: "Just think Warhammer 40k meets The Office, but without all the fascism."

I spent many years researching her life and times and that of her family to become familiar enough with her to write her story. What did that entail? I started seeking out historical references in 2018. My current list of references, both from online and in books/magazines, spans 9 pages. You can see some of the references…
