Selena – the first five chapters

As I’ve said before, Selena: Sea Nymph is my first foray into the paranormal and fantasy arena. I have intentionally avoided reading mermaid or similar stories because I’d prefer my creative notions are not influenced by other authors.

In a relatively short time, I’ve revised the original blurb and the introductory chapter. My Work in Progress for this tale now boasts the new blurb and the first five chapters. I have enabled ‘comments’ for the blurb and all of the chapters, a decision not made lightly.

If you’d like to read and comment it is not a prerequisite that you either read or write sci-fi, fantasy or paranormal. You can use the links from this post, or select chapters from the Work in Progress menu.

Why am I taking such a step so early with this story?

There are authors who are comfortable writing one genre, their work is well-received, and therefore this produces a win-win situation.

I thrive on pushing myself, stretching the boundaries of my creativity. On many occasions, for me, a single image will inspire a new short story or novel, and so it joins my shortlist.

I’m hoping that any responses to these early chapters are encouraging, but we shall see.

Chapter 1 – Realisation

Codename: Foxglove is available

Codename: Foxglove was two years in the writing, but the story had some extra work to do. I was aiming to produce something in a similar vein to Codename: Nightshade, but by necessity the story had to be different.

As the finale to the Beyond the Law series, I wanted plenty of action, and to to re-introduce special characters from earlier. Only time, and reviews, will tell me if I’ve achieved my aims.

I’ve had requests to continue with these stories because some of the characters deserved to go on, but for now, I feel I have to draw a line under the series. If you promise not to tell anyone else, I’ll let you into a secret … some of the characters will be heard from again in the not too distant future.

For now, if you’re intending to pick this one up, please leave a review, and if you haven’t tried the series yet, all of my work is available free on Kindle Unlimited.
