A couple months ago, a writer friend, Kevin McGill, asked me to be part of his Story Makers section of his website: http://www.nikolasandco.comI was flabbergasted and flattered, but of course I said yes. Yesterday, my short story (very short—only 4 pages) Eternal Amusements went live. I combined my love for angels, amusement parks, and possible takes on heaven and/or the afterlife. (It was my first attempt at a short story since high school, so go easy on me.) If you’re interested, you can read it here.
Even if you don’t want to read my story, you should check out Kevin’s site. His MG book, Nikolas & Company will be released June 23rd. It contains fire-breathing winged lions, nymphs, and lots of magic. Need I say more?
Wait a minute... did you say fire-breathing winged lions, nymphs, and lots of magic?
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm a sucker for all these magic and I love anything that's fire-breathing so I'll be sure to hop over to his site and take a look... and also read your fabulous short story!! I've never written one but should really try!!
Just stopped in to say that I checked out the Nikolas & Co. site and it was fabulous! Such wonderful illustrations. I'll definitely be snagging a copy after reading the synopsis!
