Time Is My Mignonette
Part two of the
Dougie, Petunia & the Wanderers series
Shakespeare had once said that 'the world is your oyster' - so then for Walden, Fleur,
and the others, time might be the sauce to go with it.
Mignonette sauce
is a condiment usually made with minced shallots, cracked pepper, and vinegar.
It is traditionally served with raw oysters.

So far I have only about 40 pages done,
but I'm working on it. The format of the story will remain pretty much the same,
but the story will take some of Dougie and Petunia's protagonists further into
the future and to other planets inhabited by sentient beings. Back at the
castle, I want to explore the impact of 21st century technology on 12th century
life. There is also the impact of Algoma, Begonia and Elvis's minds, that were
developed in three different cultures and in different historical time periods.
Another thing that could be interesting is
the fairies' science and technology. Obviously it is a lot more advanced than
ours. But is it science or is it magic. I will stick with science keeping
Clarke's third law in mind:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.
