Do you like fantasy anthologies? With, perhaps, a dragon or two? Then there's a new Kindle ebook available for pre-order on Amazon just for you! And it happens to include one of my stories!
The anthology is titled Swords of Darkness, and L. C. Mortimer is the editor. It will contain ten stories in all, and every one will have a sword involved in some way. I don't have a list of stories yet, but the book should be available January 1, 2016.
My story is called The Sword of Hexworthy Manor. It's about a fourteen-year-old girl named Gwendolyn with a very active imagination. It's her impressive imagination—along with an heirloom sword—that leads her into an interesting, and sometimes humorous, adventure.
Again, enough of my blather. Here's the book!

The Book:
A sword holds power.
A sword holds promise.
And a sword holds darkness.
L.C. Mortimer's editorial debut features tales of magic and darkness from authors who explore what it truly means to wield the power of a sword. From a courageous young lad who wants to honor his grandfather to an unlikely hero who will face anything to win the heart of the one he loves, these stories will lead you on adventures you won't be able to forget.
My Story:
Gwendolyn is a young girl living with her grandfather and a housekeeper named Mildred in an old manor near Hexworthy, a village in the moors of Dartmoor. As the last direct descendant of the family, he presents her with a sword, the only family heirloom left of any value. With her imagination in overdrive, she goes to play in the old ruins on the estate and finds, quite by accident, the way to a world she never knew existed. But with passage now sealed, can she ever return home?

I just pre-ordered... and I have to say, as a reader, that pre-ordering is not as much fun!!! :P
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's rather a sweet, humorous story more than a dark dungeons and dragons sort of thing, but I don't know what the other stories are like - haven't even seen a list yet. I think it might by good for your younger kids. I hope you like it!
DeleteThe editor has the right to make minor changes, too, so I hope she didn't (have to) change it too much!
Even better, I actually got paid (a token amount)!
