The Gemini Crystals

New Release

I’m delighted to have had my latest children’s fantasy, The Gemini Crystals, published by the amazing people at Starspun Lit. Below is a small sample of their mission statement and my reason for such delight.

Our mission is to provide fantastical stories to the youth of today and improve children’s literacy and comprehension of the larger world through our digital platform.

Our stories are also designed as a therapeutic tool for children with medical needs, including those with neurodevelopmental disorders so they may soar beyond reality. We are partnering with various hospitals and clinics to organize read-alouds so we may brighten their days with the magic of your storytelling.

As a strong believer in that every child should have access to good reading, I jumped at the chance to be a part of this wonderful narrative. My hope would be for many more such schemes to come.

Particular thanks go to Editor-In-Chief, Ramya Suresh, for her invaluable help and input with both the writing and artwork.

I hope you get a chance to recommend my story and all the other fabulous offerings at Starspun Lit to any child who might enjoy and benefit from them.

A big thank you to the wonderful people at Flash Phantoms for publishing my latest horror flash fiction.

Sketched is a story so short and disturbing that I can’t believe it was me that wrote it. Well, one half of me can’t, anyway. I hope you enjoy.

Evil will come and champions will fall, but Britannia shall reign eternal.

Every world has its heroes, and every hero has tales to tell. Britannia, Queen Victoria’s realm, is not the least of these, for its many heroes are varied and inextricably linked. If but one falters, then others might follow.

In a Victorian world off-kilter with our reality, a malevolent entity and an incarnation of past evil seek to overpower Britannia and its weakened queen. The disenchanted Sir Belvedere Magnanimous Wainthrop, the Lion of Britannia, will brave time and space to battle this unholy alliance and return glory to the empire. Others shall follow his lead, and destiny will test every ounce of their courage and resolve.

From a Himalayan Shangri-La to a subterranean London and the corridors of Buckingham Palace itself, this disparate group of individuals will battle the odds and come together to make the ultimate sacrifice. But will it be enough?
