There’s a new website in town, one dedicated to action-packed fantasy tales set in a shared universe. It’s called StoryPortals, and you can find it right here. Currently, the site features fiction starring three heroines in three fantastic settings, all dreamed up by the legendary publishing guru Larry Segriff. I have the honor of being one of the inaugural authors for this awesome project. The new site features one of my stories, “Flight of the Black Coach,” featuring the StoryPortals star Katya, Lady Assassin.
You can find the start of the story right here. You’ll have to register to read more (go to the home page here and click “Join Now” in the upper right hand corner of the screen), but it’ll be worth it. Here’s a bit more about Katya:
Katya is an assassin at the very top of her profession. Adept with weapons, poisons, and magic, she is highly skilled and extremely deadly. Katya lives on the edge, balancing every moment between life and death hers, or her target’s. Katya’s home is in Jakarr, the trading capital in the kingdom of Ankora, though her work often takes her to far off lands and even more exotic locations. To accomplish a mission, Katya or “Lady Kat,” as she is known on the street will take whatever measures she must. There is no job she cannot do, no target she cannot kill, though, for reasons of her own and in accordance with her own strict code, there are jobs she will not accept regardless of the price.
