Sure, you say. If they are written by the same author they are linked by that.
But, perhaps it is more than that. A shared experience, for we all share the world experience through social media, printed media, movies and film, art, stories told and written, and living life in general.
Could we, on some deeper level, be tapped into a hive mind? Is that how all these twisted ideas weirdly get into writers’ heads?
Do I believe hive minds really exist? Yes, in bees. Maybe in beings living on foreign worlds. But, every random thought is a possible story twist and every story twist has a potential to be revisited in another story.
Just as the real world is separated by surprisingly little degree of separation, so too can the same be found in stories.
Stephen King’s books hold secrets waiting to be found. Little bits of connection to other stories.
I like discovering these little connections between worlds that seemingly don’t touch, hidden in the pages of a book.
The Gypsy Queen has connections to two stories. One published, and one you may find in my brief sharing of short and flash fiction pieces, a story that will come out in fuller length. The only hint I will give to this second story is always look to the skies when death is near.
The Gypsy Queen is a new release, waiting for your discovery. Her dark past will not be forgotten.
And while I have ideas that won’t sleep to tell the pre-story, and there is the question of the old man and his beloved Josie, who has fallen victim to the Gypsy Queen’s dark past, I am already finding myself being begged to write a continuation. Will the Queen prove to be a jealous mistress? And what of her link to Darius? What secret does that hold? Will you discover it in the Gypsy Queen?
