Greetings all. Anyone who knows me or follows this blog will know that I’m a big fan of Choose Your Own Adventure games, as I mentioned in a post a little while ago. You know the ones- turn to page 5 to stab the centaur in the balls, turn to page 201 to run away and hide under a cottage.
Here’s a thing; a series of posts (well, up to 20, presumably) that each shine a spotlight on a piece from Strange Matters! Don’t worry, I won’t post any spoilers.
Returning visitors to Doing Words will know that I wrote a collection of short fantasy tales, called Strange Matters. The eBook’s available from Amazon, Smashwords, Google Play and more, with the hardcopy on Amazon. Strange Matters contains 20 pieces of fiction and poetry that all contain a glimmer of magic; for some it’s overt, for others it’s subtle. Some are high fantasy, some are modern.
