The 8th Voyage of Sinbad

As working on my trio of novellas is heavy under way, I wanted to point everyone in the direction of a little something mildly related. In college, I took a seminar on the Arabian Nights. It was an incredible course, and actually inspired the setting for these stories. I had dabbled with Middle Eastern fantasy for a time, but nothing coherent came of it until Nisa and Cayden. 

For our final assignment, the professor came up with a most interesting essay prompt. We had the option of writing our story to continue the adventures of Sinbad. Of course I jumped at the chance. During the break, I got an email from the professor asking if he could publish my story on his website. He wanted to share his favorites. Again, I jumped at the chance to do more with my writing. 

While you all wait for the final result of that class and everything I learned, perhaps you'd enjoy the first dabbling.
