Having written all of my life, I decided to self-publish my writing when I turned 50. I have published four books since then. Two are collections of short stories; Dark & Fluffy; Dark & Fluffy II and 500 Words, which is flash fiction. My latest book The Rue Stone is a fantasy novella.
My passion is medieval fiction, and I am working on my first novel The Little Servant - The Wait's Son, set in the 12th century, in Lincoln, where I live. All four books are available on Amazon.
About the book
The rue is a mysterious and rare being who is rarely seen, and Janna is amazed when one arrives at the inn where she works, looking for a room. The next morning, her life has changed, and she is left wondering whether she will ever see him again, but only time and the rue stone know the answer to that question.
This is a short fantasy novella, about 75 pages, absolutely worth the read though. It's paranormal romance with elements of folklore and myths.
The rue are known to the people of the village. They built the village inn in an attempt to connect with the mortal folk, but different always remains different to some people. So with time the rue became a distant memory and a thing of myths the older people would talk about now and again.
Tales of how they seek endlessly for that one woman they will connect with and eventually return to. Beings of beauty who captivate and enthrall the one they attract, which is exactly what may happen to one of the young women who works at the inn.
Stock has a compelling idea that can be developed into something bigger, perhaps with more depth and complexity. Where do the rues come from or their stones? Why men and not women? Magic, myth and fantasy.
It will be intriguing to see if the author returns to fantasy in one way or the other. Aside from that the writing promises a good read regardless of the genre.
