A teenage girl living on a Venus out of 1930's Pulp Science Fiction must search the planet and other worlds with her robot tutor to find the killers of her parents.

This is done in the format of an Interactive Novel, so it's pretty far removed from the standard Dungeon Crawl format. This is more reminiscent of the old CYOA books of the 80's and 90's, particularly T.S.R. Hobbies' Endless Quest Books. The characters have arcs which will be determined by the decisions you make.

Because this is set in an outdated version of the solar system, I consider this to be more a work of Fantasy than Science Fiction. Think Science Fantasy.

Also, there are elements of Hard Boiled Detective fiction and Film Noir. Like if Raymond Chandler or James M. Cain wrote about Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon.       

Update 2024! I've gone back and re-edited this story-game to remove a lot of glaring typos and clean up the style in places. I've also added a brand-spanking-new ending. Plus I threw in a new cover illustration for this Science Fantasy game. Hope those of you who've never read this work will give it a whirl and that those of you who have will want to revisit this colorful alternate reality version of the solar system.                                            

Two sentient dolls who remember previous lives as a prince and princess in another universe, go on a perilous quest across the United States to learn more of their origins. My first storygame so any constructive criticism is welcome. Now with 30% fewer typos! Thanks to Mizal for editing advice. 

A young man's coming of age as he navigates an underground fairy city where time runs slower and his hometown as it evolves into a metropolis over the centuries.

Thanks, Mizal!  :)

I think you could read it as a stand-alone if you wanted to. It's always a commitment, though, to read a whole novel. Here's the link if you have the time. It's called the Divine Diamond Highway.   https://www.booksie.com/717865-the-divine-diamond-highway

If you want to tackle something shorter, here's a link to the first story of my character, Syndeeka. It's called "The Inevitable Corpse Season". https://www.booksie.com/664462-the-inevitable-corpse-season

The main character is an ex-prostitute living in a quasi-African city-state type kingdom who becomes an apprentice to the court astronomer before she becomes an itinerant warrior-for-hire.  

It's a Sword & Sorcery novel. I can post a link if you want. But it's actually a follow-up to two stories I wrote. Please excuse my mistaking your posh accent for a working class one. Hope you're doing well.

Avery, it's so great to finally get to hear the sound of your voice. Love your working-class British accent. I've always loved British accents, but then I grew up watching "Doctor Who". I actually finished writing a short novel last spring. But thanks for the tip on this contest. Although I don't have the time to do any hard-and-fast power writing. I'm like you; I just write whenever I can get around to doing it. Glad you're trying to stay active with some sort of creative endeavor. 

Hope you enjoy it! :) 

Thanks, Mizal.

Thanks so much, guys!

 Hi, gang. Just finished putting on the finishing touches to a revised version of my CYOA "Aphrodite's Orphan". I even added an additional ending. It's an dark, epic Science Fantasy adventure set in an alternate universe version of our solar system based on old 1930's Pulp Science Fiction. Gave it a new illustration too! Hope you all will check it out.

Thanks, Mizal. Yeah, I just realized I could do that. It's nice to keep my stats up. Thanks for the positive sentiments. Hope you and yours are doing well. 

Okay, I will. Thanks.
