Introduction
Around three years ago, in 2015, I accepted a challenge from a writers group.
The trial was to write a fast-moving short story, one which included a scene of driving in a desert. The protagonist must be a girl or young woman and the stories premise needed to encompass some form of fantastical magic… but, the story was to be written as an urban adventure, a piece of speculative fiction set in current time, the modern day.
Oh, and the word count was strictly two-thousand five-hundred words. Not one more, not one less.
No problem then?
Our stories were submitted anonymously, so no one knew who was responsible for which work. The authors then critiqued and comment on each other's stories.
Thankfully, my entry was relatively well received by my peers and they did not (too heavily) slate my work… some even gave it some slight praise.
It is from this short story, a piece which is only a little longer than a flash-fiction, this Electric Eclectic novelette has evolved.
While the basis of the story remains true to the original challenge, I have extended and opened the tale to encompass far more than a mere two and a half thousand words can express.
More action, more characters and more lingering possibilities are now woven into The Orb. This story has been a joy to write and I am sure you shall find it an enjoyable and pleasurable read.
Once you have read the Orb, I am certain you will see why I think it could be classed as a prequel, possibly a forerunner to a series of books.
At the moment of writing, The Orb is a stand-alone story, written as an introductory work to my writing style and narrative. Of course, I hope you thoroughly enjoy The Orb and reading this book encourages you, my dear reader, to purchase many more of my books, which you can find on my author website HERE.
