It’s finally published! Reign of Fire, Published by Dragon Soul Press, is the second anthology I’ve been in, and holds Choices, a companion story to my novel Stan Bubbles, Evil Overlord M.D.!
Choices is a 10,742 word long short following Captain Fíla of the Riders of Bisney and his dragon Blackthorn during the events of the main novel.
Originally, Choices was titled “A Dragons’ Heart” but faced a name change as there was already a story bearing that title that had been accepted. I actually find that I prefer the title Choices, as the story follows a choice that must be made by Captain Fíla: to follow a direct order from his King, or to follow the path that he knows is right but could lead to not only his death, but that of Blackthorn as well.
I do have a second story planned that follows up to Choices, and that will accompany Stan Bubbles, Evil Prince. Outcomes (as is the current working title) will continue on the story of Captain Fíla and Blackthorn as they meet the day the Order comes, stand by their choice, and entrust their lives to the whims of Stan as he is placed in an awkward position with the Laws of the Kingdom of Bisney due to their actions in Choices.
Choices is the 2nd short written in the world of Stan Bubbles, the continent Azura, and the first that focuses on characters other than Stan. It reveals how truly Naïve Stan is when it comes to leadership, and puts in place dire implications that Stan may be in deeper water than he thought….
