The Black Orb

by Len Morse

Overview

The Rentwicke Forest has been haunted for years, or so the rumors say. Some folks even suspect undead exist in the labyrinth of caves beneath. Now reports of gruesome murders are cropping up from nearby villages, and the king has chosen you, Jonathan of Whitmore, to investigate. But are you truly ready to fight an enemy you don't even know? During your quest, you must remember that one decision can affect the rest of your life. Will you:

--Discover the secret of the mysterious invader's dark powers?
--Befriend the strange wizard, help the vengeful siblings, or fall for the female cleric?
--Fall prey to undead beings or other creatures, or even become one?
--End up imprisoned by the enemy, visit a nearby city, or arrive safely back home?

This illustrated interactive story follows Jonathan, accompanied by faithful amulet Mac, through a classic pick-your-own-path adventure that allows the reader to play through multiple routes to reach a variety of different endings.

About the Author

I remember being interested in writing at a single-digit age. I would come up with stories and jot them down. When I was old enough, I would proofread some of my mother’s work documents when asked.

When I attended college, my love for music became serious. However, I was told many times that pursuing a music performance degree was fraught with financial danger, so I majored in Geography, since I had also developed an interest in maps. During my last year of college I was able to take a fiction writing course, and then began fleshing out an idea for a novel. My writing muse had returned!

After securing a job, I expanded my musical repertoire and writing styles, while continuing to add to my novel. I researched other writing outlets, but I found that traditional publishing was not likely to be my bread-and-butter. Then I discovered Helium.com in 2007.

Helium was an online community where authors could sharpen their writing skills and earn money based on the number of people who clicked on their work. I wrote approximately 180 articles on Helium, the highest earner of those being “How to Write a Choose Your Own Adventure Story.”

I had not touched my novel for many years, but a visit to the Maryland Renaissance Festival brought back my inspiration with a vengeance. I finished writing my novel and hired a professional editor and cover artist. At this point, my main goal is to get my story out to the public.

I am currently writing a book about community concert bands, many of which I've consistently been a member of since 1993.
