The Threefold Path

Here are the three facets of my book A Nihilist Fairy Tale.
The Painter
A woman searches for her daughter in a magical world while pursued by a devious god.

Main Character(S): Michelle Cassidy

The Doll and The Madman
A young girl and a mysterious man seek to escape in a magical world.

Main Character(S): Eridaltia Thomas, Nuriat
The Fool
A soldier struggles to survive in a land on the brink of a massive war with him on the losing side.

Main Character(S): Gohei Kanahara

They're all set in the same world at around the same time. Good old Sci-fi/Fantasy tale set in a modern-esque world. Swords, sorcery, guns and bombs meet existential pondering and Cosmic Horror. My plans for these stories are grand. I might end up splitting these into their own individual trilogies. I have a lot of ideas and over 190 pages so far and I've barely begun. This is my first book and I must admit it's quite ambitious for a first effort. I've done a lot toward world building and learned a lot about world building. Naturally, the story is much more than you see here. The story will span about a decade, maybe more.


I've decided once again to use this blog. I will try to update with more regularity. I've been feeling poetic as of late.
