What's it all About???

The one question everyone has asked about Perchance to Feast, is "What's it all about?"

Complicated question! It's about many things, on many different levels. For some people, it's all about the plot, so I'll start there:



Chance, a cosmic chameleon with an apetite for entertainment, is famished. The only thing that will satisfy him is a feast of quirky characters, simmered in outrageous situations: Delicious deviltry, caprice and chaos, wounding and weeping, and for dessert, cakes of kindness.



He drops into Hometown Junior High, where he maneuvers Victoria, a born bully, into the path of Sadie, a Russian immigrant. He giggles as Victoria so angers Sadie that she and her friend, Lillian, write the story Chance whispers in Sadie's ear: The story of Subring, city of evil, where Victoria and her friends can be punished.



Sixty-five years go by, the barrier between Fantasy and Reality falls, and Subring enters the Real world. It's not Victoria, but her daughter, nerfarius Hera Starr, and Hera's students, the dastardly Drama Divas, who are captured by Subring, along with an innocent victim. The only one able to rescue her is a teen-age Robin Hood with a record--Sadie's granddaughter, K-Rob.



With guidance from now-elderly Lillian, and now-dead Sadie, K-Rob prepares to risk her life and enter Subring to save a stranger.



Chance chortles with glee: the main course is served. Yum!

You didn't expect me to tell you the ending, did you?



Chance would love to have your company at his feast! I expect the publication date to be somewhere around the new year. Check in to PerchancetoPublish.blogspot.com to find out when. There'll be something new added each weekend (hopefully!) In the next posting, the characters will tell what they think Perchance to Feast is about.
