A Wizard, A Sword And A King

PUBLISHED TODAY is A WIZARD, A SWORD AND A KING, a free seasonal short story and a prequel to PAW-PRINTS OF THE GODS. On the moon of Avalon, Alpha Centauri, the young orphan Artorius is resigned to spending Christmas alone, wandering the snowy streets of Londinium just as a new series of the bloodthirsty holovid show 'Gods Of Avalon' is about to start. As the medieval tournament gets under way, he finds that the alien-worshipping nuns encamped in the fake Temple of Mithras are taking more notice of him than usual. Not only that, but the man playing wizard Merlin was not the usual company cyberclone! AWIZARD, A SWORD AND A KING is available as a WyrdStar pdf and is also now included in Smashwords editions of PAW-PRINTS OF THE GODS. Readers who previously bought this novel from Smashwords can download all subsequent updates at no extra cost. (Steph).
