About this ebook
A pirate captain falls in love with a mermaid, a wastelander searches for something important and a beleaguered chosen one completes an inconvenient quest.
This book brings together twelve stories written over the course of a twelve hour period as part of a writing challenge. Some funny, some sad, some science-fiction, all of them written in a single day.
Become a superhero, learn about the chilling power of rumour or just marvel at one writer's descent into sleep induced delirium. This book has it all.

Rachel Tonks Hill always wanted to be either a doctor or writer when she grew up. Her first novel, On the Rise, was released in 2016, having been written alongside her doctoral thesis. While having a novel out fulfills the “writer” part of her dream, she hopes this doesn’t mean she has to grow up. Rachel lives in Nottingham with her partner and insufficient dogs.

This ebook came out of one of those.

Mostly because I’d forgotten I had a friend coming to stay the weekend and they were staying in the room where my writing computer lives. It would have been
