My Fiction Works
My fiction writings include short stories, novels, a children's book, and "sorta-poetry." A couple pieces of "sorta-poetry" have been turned into song lyrics by those with more musical talent than I could ever hope for, but no, you haven't heard them on the radio. I do not currently have plans to post entire novels here, but I do have some short stories online.
This page is woefully outdated. I will have to come back soon to update it!
Short Stories
- Tea Leaf Technology (science fiction), also available as a PDF download: Tea_Leaf_Technology.pdf
- Tramp Avatar (fantasy, but not the dragons & unicorns kind), also available as a PDF download: Tramp_Avatar.pdf
- Kallmarn's Quest (very short, fantasy, and a brief introduction to D20 gaming)
The first two stories listed above are also included in Journey to Yandol, and other stories.
Books
A few years ago, I decided that this site was the wrong place to try to feature my various books, because readers would be distracted by things they might not find interesting. If you are interested in the books I have already released, please check out my Stuart J. Whitmore, Author site.
Novel & Novella Projects
The following list is outdated! It started as a quick overview of my various novel projects, including as-yet-unpublished works. As the number of my projects continued to grow, I fell behind on this list. Something new may come along here, if I have time to set up something that will be easier to update, but if you're just looking for something to buy and read right now, be sure to check out my author site at the link above. In the list below, unpublished books are numbered instead of being listed by titles, because titles would be subject to change anyway.
Book 1: Fantasy; first draft completed. Written during 9th and 10th grade, no plans to do anything with it.
Book 2: Fantasy; first draft completed. Sequel to Book 1. Written during 11th and 12th grade, no plans to do anything with it.
Book 3: Sci-Fi; first draft completed. Written in a few months shortly after graduation from high school. Would like to publish or turn into a screenplay, but would need a vast amount of work. No current action being taken.
Book 4: Sci-Fi; first draft in progress. Started during US Air Force Basic Training. Would like to complete but have forgotten many of my plans for it. Also at an emotionally-difficult part of the book that I have not been able to work past. No current action being taken.
