The Jack of Souls  (Multi-award winner!) by StephenMerlino
66 parts Complete
************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.

You've been working around the clock on a splashy, full-page feature on the most recent case, the brutal slaying of 21-year-old Mathilda Haynes. But your editor throws a wrench in your plans when he requests your help: your flaky coworker hasn't followed through on a piece for a much-loved weekly column on local businesses. He wants you to write a boring little article on a bar in the neighboring town of Pepper Hill. If you take one for the team and write the article, you may get more than you bargained for...

The Egg at Dumstreet

37 parts Complete

[Completed] A U.S. expatriate is cast into a rainy, foggy corner of Europe. He went there on the pretense to work on his research, but he actually wanted to put as many miles as possible between himself and his ex. The university he works for has found him an apartment in a house inhabited by a set of strange characters. The mess begins with a broken egg. And it continues with his neighbor being murdered. A story somewhere between general fiction, mystery, gossip, romance, and humor. Book of the Month (June 2017) over at Wattpad's official @AdultFiction profile. First place in Mystery/Thrillers and second overall in the Iron Lace awards over at @ElisabethTepes profile. First place in Mystery/Thrillers in the Blank Sheets Contest over at @Blank_Sheets . First place under Mystery in the New Beginnings Writer Awards 2019 (Tagged as #adultfiction not for mature content--there's no real mature stuff here--but for sporting some characters that are thirty and older)
