The Accidental Tales: Short Story Collection

The Accidental Turn #4

by J.M. Frey

Forsyth Turn had no desire to be a hero, but that’s what he became. Bevel Dom spent his whole life telling stories, never realizing he was part of one of the most popular ones of all time. Kintyre Turn never thought he could be more than a wandering hero with a sword, until he reinvented himself as a compassionate Lord and kind father. And Lucy Piper never believed that magic, quests, or The Tales of Kintyre Turn truly existed; but they do, and they shaped her life in ways she never could have foreseen.

J.M. Frey never expected her meta-fantasy novel about the relationship between author and fan, creator and creation, to become the sweeping, multi-book adventure that Readers have to come to enjoy; but just like her characters, this path has taken her to wondrous places she never could have anticipated.

Now, fans can hear from the author herself. Offering insight and behind-the-scenes commentary on the events that happened both on and off the page—and a brand-new exclusive novella—Frey invites readers to return to the world of Hain one last time, and discover The Accidental Turn that launched a series.
