Viking sea battle, borrowed from Hurstwic.
"The Road to Paris", a series of stories satisfying your desire for more accounts of the journeys of our two Irish bards, Shannon O'Neill and Rory McGuinness, has commenced on the An Involuntary King: The Stories.
There are alreadt a few hundred stories that range from letters between characters written by my friend Laura and me in about 1964 to our later attempts at storytelling and finally to my own efforts to recapture "The Story" as we called it starting in 2006.
I knew that soon enough I would have posted every single item ever written, so not wanting this incredible period of my life to end, I decided just to keep the stories going. You may recall that I published a poll of some basic story lines, and "the journeys of the two Irish bards" got the most botes.
"The Road to Paris" takes place about two years after two major events in the series I had written for the collaborative creative writing group, Ghostletters (to which you are enthusiastically invited to join): Shannon's apparent suicide by drowning then later return from Norway with a wife on his arm, and Rory's final relinuishing of his bow to the Queen and his own subsequent marriage to Ceridwen.
It take sup the tale as Shannon begs his friends, Rory and Ceridwen, to help him find out what has happened to his wife, Falni, the Norse captain of a fighing vessel. She is long overdue and no one has seen her. There are raiders in the North Sea, taking the cargoe of other ships and doing things you would rther not hear to their crews. What happened to Falni? Is she all right? Can Shannon find her and rescue her? Will the future Holy Roman Emperor, Karl, better known as Charlemagne to future generations, be involved in some way?
