This excerpt is from another of Lace’s chronicles, The Creely Crown. It describes a scavenger hunt/race to find and claim the legendary Creely Crown. The competing contestants are the wild Triplet Princesses Three of Fiddleeebod. That’s Wun on the left below, Tuu in the middle, and Thrii on the right. Thrii dyed her hair startling […]
Today’s excerpt is from O’Tan’s Gate, a story recorded by Lace, the second chronicler, after Harpo and long before Bekka. Below is my rough sketch of Lace. Frad, a nester musician, is featured in today’s excerpt. The entire story swirls around Dosh, a mysterious hutkeeper. A ziler, when well played, strikes a tone mellow and […]
This is the young cartjagger, Avado. At the beginning of her ritual 10 Year Wander, she meets her grandmother, Old Orrum, for the first time. Here is Old Orrum, the most highly skilled cartjagger in all of Honeygold, Clover Castle. The chronicler Lace wrote the scene of their meeting as a play. THE SCENE IN […]
I have decided to start posting excerpts from the stories heard by Bek and Kar all of their lives in the bramble bower hedge. This first one is from ‘The Great Green Va’, a story of the Princess Ivah Skay and how she hated rules and loved green. This is the Princess Ivah Skay This […]
That is the island of Jom in the middle of Winedarque Lake near the green sands home of Dodden, a spindly cragger on the world of Boad. The story I am working on right now takes place there. Though Bekka does make a brief appearance, she is not the storyteller. A quest to fulfill a […]
This is the formidable winged Princess of Cloud Castle City, Nimble Missst. Bekka, in her seventh chronicle, tells the story of how Nimble Missst became Quen (yes, Quen, not Queen) Nim. Here is Motty, the hollowite, a winged six-legged creature with a tongue she can fling all the way across a reception hall. She serves […]
This is Delia Branch, a timid woodlock. Bekka’s fourth chronicle is entitled ‘The Woodlock’. In it, Bekka is sent back in time to clarify a confusion. Without the clarification, the daughter of Delia Branch, a most important Boadlian character, the star of a story well known to Bekka and Karro, would never be born. Rindle […]
The very first character to appear in my head from the planet Boad was a timid troll named Gorge. He struck fear straight into the bone marrow of all creatures meeting him for the first time. That’s why he practiced his disarming smile. Well, you can tell it really didn’t help much, can’t you?
This is a typical hutter dwelling in the oat fields near Fiddleeebod Castle. Bekka and Karro make a short, but important, visit to one such conical cottage on their second adventure, The Carven Flute.
These flatlands are located southwest of the Woeful Wanderers’ Wasteland. The four creatures high in the sky are probably ‘beeketbwen’, a common bird found on the planet Boad. Bekka and Karro passed north of this spot on their first adventure.
