“A Divine Tale” is about Seglaman The Snow God, and how other God’s use his sorry tale as a reminder to younger less experienced God’s as a warning to never become too comfortable when ruling over mortals who worship them.

This is the story “A Divine Tale”. This story is part of a compilation entitled “Tales From Tremwell”, consisting of 20 of my stories and 3 of my poems that can be purchased from the Amazon website and soon from smashwords aswell.

I am releasing this short-story for free in the hope of drumming up a little interest and to show people the sort of things that I write. I also plan on releasing at least another 4 or more stories from the compilation and am in the process of editing most of my work.

This one is a bit difficult to rate as it came off more as an outline to a story than a story in its own right. Still, it is very intriguing and full of nice visuals and ideas. It has great potential and can easily be fleshed out into a full novel.

This sci-fi tale was great fun to read through, playing with some creative ideas. The kind of tale that would have fitted nicely into a classic Star Trek episode, it reads like a fictional history that only concentrates on the interesting bits (don't you wish real history books were like that?). A mellow and entirely enjoyable read overall.

Seglaman the Snow God is an inter-planetary deity who is taking over worlds left right and centre. However, on one particular world he has become complacent, and doesn't plan on any resistance. After all, who could fight against a Snow God and his 24,000 Snow Warriors...?

A DIVINE TALE is another fun fantasy/sci-fi story that is filled with invention. There is more of an emphasis on humour here, and some strong visual images.

I see it as kind of a cross between Douglas Adams and Lord Dunsany, fun, and light-hearted yet with a sense of ageless myth about it.

I am looking forward to Strickland's forthcoming collection on Smashwords.
