"Stories of Queen Agony"

As other writers have noted, it can be as revealing as it is confusing to see what people who find your site were actually looking for. The following are the keywords used by several individuals from many parts of the world that landed them on my blog, An Involuntary King: The Stories.

Right: Great hall "yarn painting"

At this point, by the way, in the posting of the new stories that went into the construction of the novel, we are into a sequence that did not make the final cut, that being the humiliating visit of Shannon to the country of his birth, Ireland. And we just completed a murder mystery.. which also never happened. See what you missed?!

The keywords

accidental king

Well, involuntary and accidental are not the same thing. Nifhmund's murder of Lawrence's father was quite purposeful, though the result was not quite what he had in mind. He would have been a thoroughly voluntary king!

stories about homecoming

A completely football free homecoming, but it made my husband tear up.

what is rescued

I don't know. I just don't know.

the invention of lifting 2209

Are we going to have to wait that long? It will be hard to avoid tripping over all the stuff we can't lift. And what in the world does this have to do with my novel?

involuntary king

There are others?!

calamities that happened in the world

As opposed to those that happened off-world, I guess.

Kings in Old Stories

You are in luck. I have several.

story samir

Again, are there others??? But thanks for asking.

TAVISHSON

In the Old Stories Tavish is the son of the King.. but in the "actually faithful forever" later stories, he's Ansovald's and Gwelian's. But somehow I don't think that's the confusion here.

shannon death

I know... I am still mourning.

yarn painting

I guess I better find out what these people were interested in.. I thought I invented this craft.

stories about victims of calamities

Well, it was a calamity to them.

Writing story King's wife river throne

Actually, the throne wasn't very close to the river.

alternate reality stories of queen agony

I am sure the queen in my stories should have liked an alternate ending where there wasn't so much agony.

Not as clever as Susan Higginbotham's quips, I know.. but there it is. So sue me.
