Thanks for reading my story! Read on to learn more (including how you can win prizes!)
I'm not sure which one you read, but if you're here, you've probably clicked the QR code on one of my little story leaflets.
So, I am now duty-bound to try and convince you to read something else :)
So, I am now duty-bound to try and convince you to read something else :)
I send out a mini story leaflet with every mtg order from Vinted, eBay, and Whatnot.
I also have some longer 'mini-books' which are short stories or serialised novels (or, in one case, a poem). I sell these on the platforms above, so if you fancy a shorter read, that would be a good place to start :) These are not full-size novels, but shorter (and cheaper!) and also fun in the sense that they are illustrated to various degrees*.
My full-size printed novels are also available on these platforms.
Any book or mini-book bought from me through eBay or Whatnot will come with something mtg related (usually a rare or two; see the specific listing for details). When I sell these items through Vinted, the listing will show what it comes with (either some specific cards or the choice of a mini bundle, usually).
If you are wedded to your kindle, my ebooks can all be found on amazon.
Of course, there are various other bits and pieces of writing to be found here on the website, too :) so please have a look around...
*: A note on the images in the mini-books and leaflets: all my stories (down to the word) are my own, and no AI has ever touched them (other than to remove a typo...but most of that has been done by spellcheck!). BUT - I can't draw to the standard of an inebriated ferret, so while many of my stories and novels use art that I have commissioned on Fiverr or other places, some of the art in the leaflets and mini-books are an expression of me strong-arming my long-suffering AI into reading my work and then making pictures inspired by them. I am aware that this may be considered annoying by some and morally dubious by others (possibly including by our future AI overlords). I am sorry if this thus offends you - but I want to be clear about that now before you think of buying anything!
If you are thus offended - and yet still want to buy something utterly untouched by art made by a machine - my ebooks and 'old-fashioned proper' books all have covers that were not made by AI. And once again - the stories are all from my own strange mind alone.

PRIZES
Various of my leaflets and mini-stories have an ongoing possibility of winning a small (or sometimes, less small) prize.
I like the idea of these little stories as little blown bubbles. I often don't know where they will end up when I start writing them; one of the reasons I finish writing them is to find out what happened!
Now - I also like the idea of stories giving birth to other stories (in fact, my stories exist in a sort of strange universe called the Storystream; if you read some of my novels you will find out what this means, but basically all stories are linked, stories can be personified, stories can interact. It's all very modern).
So how can you win a prize? Simple - you have to shoot me a message with a prompt or suggestion about how the story you have read might grow, change, evolve. For instance, you might suggest a branch point in the story where something different could happen. Or you could suggest what a character might do after the story has ended. Or maybe what they did before the story began. Or...well, anything, really.
If your suggestion intrigues me enough to write a response to it, you get a mini prize (more on that below).
If the story is completed and becomes it's own little story bubble - to the point where I'm happy enough with it to get it printed up - then you unlock whatever the current 'bigger' prize is in the story in question.
So there's no 'right answer', you see. Just a open possibility, as it were.
"But isn't that all terribly subjective?" I hear you cry.
Yes. Yes it is. Entirely subjective, and subject entirely to my whim and fancy.
Sorry. That's just the way it is.
But it could be fun.
Maybe.
Let's see.
