One week from release date. "Smiles Under the Moon" is four stories set in the same fantasy world, growing and building off of each other as the world changes. Here's info about the first story, "Weakness and Strength - The Plainsman's Tale."
It was the first story I wrote out of the four, all the way back in 2015. While it has been rewritten, the plot is mostly unchanged from the version that appeared on my website that year.
The most monumental change - and monumental it was - was that some portions of the story were in third person, and some were in first person. This has been changed to entirely first person in the published version. Quite a lot of work! But, in the end, worth it.
The main character is a young man who considers himself worthless, weak, unskilled, and unwanted. Life has a way of teaching us the lessons we need. By the end of the story, not only is the young man - Feather - sure of his strength, but there is no going back to his old life.
There is a great deal of worldbuilding in the story that will pop up again in the later stories, and even some interesting hints as to what will happen later on. The story is written by the main character long after the fact.
There will be more trivia about the other stories in the coming days. Pre-order now: amazon.com/dp/B08WLZK9RP
