SKY PIRATES (A GOBLIN’S TALE)
VOl. 1
Life is grand and wonderful upon the open skies. That is until Captain Finnegan becomes deathly ill. How do you know he’s sick? Because he smiles, and if there’s one thing humans don’t do, it’s smile.
Gravely concerned for his captain’s future, Gizmo bands together his fellow Goblins and they embark on an adventure to cure Finnegan’s illness. Can they find what they need to cure Finnegan before he dies? And can they do so without being caught and thrown in jail?
VOL. 2
With Captain Finnegan back to his normal self, Gizmo and his crew of Goblins are ready to hit the open skies to do what they do best, be pirates. But things go south when they are given the order to fly straight into a dangerous storm. For Gizmo to fulfill his captain’s orders, he must rally his Goblins against the fiercities of nature while also battling a rival pirate crew that threatens to steal Captain Finnegan’s new airship.
Authors Note
This story started as a few different ideas. First, I wanted to explore writing in present tense (rather than my go-to style of past tense). Second, I wanted to write a fun, light-hearted adventure told from the perspective of a blissfully naive Goblin. Third, at the time, I was exploring self-publishing.
What game about is a series that is planned to be five installments, and one I genuinely find humorous. I hope you do as well.
This is another one of those stories that I wrote early on in my creative journey, and as such had gone through a few different iterations as I developed my skill.
