Now Available: Digital-Only Short Story "Crooked"

Now available and exclusive to Amazon Kindle, "Crooked: A Story from the New Oz Chronicles" -- a story about Nikidik Pipt and the strange relationship he has with his reclusive brother!

In the aftermath of a destructive invasion against the Emerald City, Nikidik Pipt, the Crooked Wizard of Oz, flees into the Munchkin countryside, carrying the dangerous magical imprint of an ancient being whose whispers threaten to unravel his very sanity. Suspecting that severing the bond can be done through the dark arts, he seeks out the only person he can trust: his elder brother Alticar, a hermit who lives alone in the deepest part of the forest. Alticar's dangerous practice may be the key to undoing the magical shackle around his soul, but can the isolationist be trusted to eradicate the influence of the corruption without an ulterior motive? Two estranged brothers reunite in an uneasy exchange of strained familial histories and ulterior motives, but the outcome may not be what either of them expect or desire.
