This fantasy comedy book is filled with laughter and laughter is like free health insurance. This book has eight fantasy adventures. All are new stories and are filled with memorable characters.Among the stories in this book, you'll find two parodies of Shakespeare's plays: Romeo and Juliet and The Merchant of Venison. Both stories are now fantasy adventures stocked with dwarfs and elves. Both stories pay lip serivce to the Bard's plots, but end up with quite different climaxes.A novella, Chasing Dreams, was nominated for a Nebula awad by the Science Fiction Writers of America.Boggerts Blue features one of my favorite characters, Burga the Warrior Chef. Burga is on a quest for more recipes and to rescue a kidnapped princess.The Big Bang is a tale of magic, both white and black. Mixing both types is mostly fatal mistake.The Queen's Hero is a fantasy quest concerning a young knight, Knuben, who eager to earn a reputation and three beautiful princesses with a bet on who can bed him first.In Inter-racial Musical Playoff's we witness a band competion with various fantasy races vieing for the reward while nasty wizards try to influnce the outcome.Finally, in Tactical Surprise we see a dwarf general famous for winning wars with mostly non-violent battles. This time, he's also fighting a female dewarf who he has long and secretly admired. Tales From Gundarland was awarded a bronze medal by Readers' Favorite. EPIC short-listed it for best anthology of the year.

Falstaff's Big Gamble

By: Hank Quense

Falstaff's Big Gamble

By: Hank Quense

his novel is Shakespeare's Worst Nightmare. It takes two of the Bard's most famous plays, Hamlet and Othello, and recasts them in Gundarland. There, Hamlet becomes a dwarf and Othello a dark elf and Iago and his wife, Emilia, are trolls. If that isn't bad enough, these two tragedies are now comedies with Falstaff, Shakespeare's most popular rogue, thrown in as a bonus. Both Hamlet and Othello are plagued by the scheming Falstaff, who embezzles money from Othello. After Hamlet becomes king (with help from Falstaff) the rogue becomes the dark nemesis behind the throne.

Creating Stories

Creating Stories

By: Hank Quense

Do you have a story in you? Do you know how to write it or how to tell it? Creating Stories has the answers. Hank Quense, the author of more than twenty books, tells you how to do it. He believes that stories come from the melding of three elements: getting ideas, story design and story-telling. Ideas have to come from the author. Creating Stories covers the last two. The book concentrates on developing characters including such rarely discussed requirements such as a dominant reader emotion and the character's biography. Plots are also covered in depth and a number of graphics are included to illustrate complex points. Another topic discusses subplots and how to utilize them and how to nest them within the main plot. A separate chapter discusses the relationship between the plot and the emotional arcs. Other topics covered are: character arcs, scene design, point-of-view, writing voice.
