Dan Burns, writer

Welcome to my webpage!

This weblog is my online journal. You'll find my opinions on writing as well as links to other things on the web that I find interesting. When the spirit moves me, I may also include longer essays.

My current project's working title is call of the Unicorn, which I envision as a trilogy. It's the story about Tony Rinaldi, who discovers that his sister, Meerna, and his best friend, Kirlan Duncanson, are more than they seem. Through them, Tony gets sucked into a magical world where he has to contend with wizards, magic and woman who has no compunction in killing him. A prophecy says that the joining of Meerna and Kirlan will result in a child who will initiate change to the magic, but even that may not be what it seems.

In addition to Unicorn, I have a couple of other novels in the works.

The first working title is The Meadow Lake Fairy, but I hope to come up with a better title. It's the story of a "reporter" who works for the tabloid "Real and Accurate News," which delivers anything but. While he's asleep, a fairy comes to ask for his help. This starts him on a journey to help bring magic back into the world.

The second title is The Wizard and the Apprentice. That'll need a better title, too. It's the story of a wizarding apprentice who receives a plea for help from woodland fairies who have a magic item stolen without which they cannot live. This sends him, the wizard and a fairy on quest to recover it to save them all.

I also have a short story (almost a novella in length) based upon a picture I found in a newspaper. It's about how a girl makes one mistake after another and ends up with in a dead-end life. The title is The Dancer.
