Can music inspire a story? It seems so!
I’m taking part in the December StorySong short story fest organised by Discovering Diamonds Reviews’ organiser Helen Hollick.
Each day, there’s a new story and a chance to guess the song/music that inspired it. There have been some crackers so far!
Mine comes on 17 December, the first day of Saturnalia (of course!). What exactly did Honoria Mitela and her troops do at the Battle of Vienna in 1683 when Europe was threatened with conquest by the mighty Ottoman Empire?
In the meantime, here are the other stories (I’ll add the new link each day they appear on the Discovering Diamonds Reviews site)
