While sifting through some old files, I came across this blast from the past. Written immediately after Johnny B. Weeyerd, KENTUCKY FRIED FAIRY was my attempt at comedy fantasy for children.
Although I had a great time writing the manuscript, I didn’t do a single bit of planning before starting it, and so it goes round the houses a few times before reaching any kind of conclusion. Still, aside from being about 20,000 words too long, I think it’s pretty good, so I’m making the first couple of chapters available here.
You’ll need Adobe Reader to view the file. I’d love to hear your comments, good, bad or indifferent!

There’s a link from Tommy Donbavand’s blog and I’m so glad I followed it! Your story is hilarious!
(Yes, I think a few things could be tightened, but the voice, the tone, the narrator — all wonderful.)
What a fun premise.
