Has anyone ever tried to find online books on their mobile for a little bathroom reading? Using Google Play or whatever, and its probably the same with all of them, I noticed tons and tons were “romance” (think 50 shades or Twilight). Do people really read that crap?
Anyways, I downloaded some classics like Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Ralph Burroughs, Dickens and things like that.
I finished Twain’s “The Prince and the Pauper” (nothing like the Disneyfied versions), The Lost World, Princess of Mars and Alice in Wonderland (don’t judge me!!)...
Then I decided to try a free story that looked like one of the many dragon and knights kind of thing. There was absolutely nothing original about it, oh except that the King’s (he offed dad for the throne) wife had an opium addiction (shrugs).
Can someone write a fantasy tale of knights and dragons without naming the leading lady Gwendolyn? Seriously!
Now you've done it!
You've gone and blown the cover off my upcoming Fantasy/Adventure series tentatively titled "The Frothingslosh Chronicles."
They detail the adventures of the middle aged, not-so-good-looking and mildly timid "Feudal" Fred Frothingslosh of Filbertfaggen. (A town inhabited by sexually ambiguous nuts.)
His somewhat tepid romatic escapades involve the "trailing after" (couldn't really be called a pursuit) of a Lady whose name is Ethel N.G. Youngman. (The "N.G." stands for "Not Gwendolyn.")
At the climax of the tale, Fred is debating whether or not it's worth it to challenge Ethel's husband (Henny) for her hand but is relieved of the dilemma when Henny says "Take My Wife ...Please!"
So Fred and Ethel get hitched but she (being not too bright) can never remember how to spell "Frothingslosh of Filbertfaggen" so they end up shortening it to "Mertz." Oh, and there's a dragon too.
His name is "Spot."
My leading lady was named "Llyra".
Seriously.
50 shades of Twilight? That’s seriously a book?
Amazon has free books all the time, and a good portion of them are action/adventure, mystery or sci-fi.
