Western Whodunnit Dust and Death available now

August 3, 2011 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

Do you remember those Choose Your Own Adventures books from when you were a kid? You were dropped into a narrative scenario, and the choices you made at the end of each page determined the course of the story. Well, they’re back. Sort of. Here we have the online version! Read the story, and click the link of the option you want to follow. So very simple – with hundreds of possible stories available.

Our CYOA overlady Annie Evett has blogged about the process of collaborative writing here but if you want to get stuck into Dust and Death, you can read the premise here. The blurb reads thus;

When new deputy arrives into Cyotta Falls, only one person suspects his true purpose. They will do everything in their power to ensure Daniel is kept permanently quiet.
After a landowner dies in front of him and the Sheriff quickly announces it as natural causes, Daniel begins to suspect Cyotta Falls holds its own secrets. With most town folk under suspicion, Daniel must unravel the tight community to uncover its stories. Toss in saloon fights, a travelling freak show, a whiff of black magic and questionable railway land buyers sniffing around, there is a recipe for Western Intrigue which can only be solved by you.

It’s a Western, which is naturally a genre close to my heart (especially with the impending release of The Guns of Retribution), and I’ve contributed several story threads, as well as a teaser, The Painted Man.

Just £3 ($4.99 US or $4.50 AUS) buys you access to ALL of the story threads. Bargain!
