Torie enjoys playing amtgard with her friends, but one person keeps messing with her fun. Maybe he thinks he flirting, maybe he thinks he's helping, but either way he's ruining Torie's day. Can she face him in a tournament and prove once and for all that she is the victor?

This story was written for a contest in the game of Amtgard. It's about a common experience of a woman in a LARP/boffer sport, both good and bad.

************************************************************************************** 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.

The Heartbroken Nerd

21 parts Complete Mature

*Previously called 'Player Falling For A Nerd.' (: * Having a twin sister is something amazing. But that's the total opposite for Skylar. In fact, Skylar hates her sister as much as she hates leaving her house, which is a big hatred. Even though her heart is full of hatred, there's a teeny-tiny bit love left for a person, Tyler. Tyler only knows Skylar as his girlfriend's sister. He's your typical player. He has girls all over him while Skylar is being surrounded by idiotic humans in the world. Skylar thinks she's getting over him. What happens when Skylar gets to tutor Tyler and they get closer, closer and closer? Read it and you'll find out. (:
