The Bells of Mazahan – Robin McKinley

Robin McKinley

So, speaking of bells, here’s the first page or so of The Bells of Mazahan because it’s much too late to come up with an entry from zero. This is the beginning of the draft after I realised it wasn’t going to stay a short story, but you’ll notice its antecedents as an Elementals Air story. As well as some creative input from my so-called real life. And I make no promises as to how much the first page or so will look like this in its final form either.* My stories are capable of death-defying leaps of (in)credibility pretty much up to the last minute.

Go and read it. And if you haven’t already read them, lay your hands on the previous Damar books, The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown and read them too. If you are even slightly partial to fantasy you will enjoy them. And if you aren’t generally a fantasy reader but like well put together stories, you’ll probably enjoy them too.
