The First Chapter: The Written Word

Unfinished Legends is my online compendium of novels and novellas in progress. My name is Mattias D.W. Westby. Maybe you know me from my other blog, The Legends of Middle earth, which deals with the writings of brilliant linguist, cultural scientist and author J.R.R. Tolkien. For two years now, I have been writing up countless novels, all of them unfinished. I dream of being an author. Maybe someday, I will. I begin my dream career with this blog. I plan to write at least one novel and at most a large collection of short stories. The title Unfinished Legends reflects that until this blog's final post has been made, I won't be an author and I will have no books to my name. But what do you think about my writing? The comments about this blog will mean a lot to me.

So step into another world, one of spaceships drifting for eons only for the astronauts to find that the Earth is unrecognizable, a world where time travelling scientists found Camelot and inspire the great Arthurian legends, a world where the gods need to find a mortal to save them from fading into imagination and where long ago a lost civilization dwelt in what is now Manhattan. You will find the truth about Atlantis and find out humanity will respond to our first alien contact. You will see how during the Cold War, a spy braved the depths of Siberia to destroy the ultimate weapon. You will discover how a guild of authors writes the history of the world with nine pens of power and how aliens hid a UFO under the Sphinx along with a 2,000 year old Doomsday Time Bomb nearing detonation. You will find how to make a whole civilization disappear and how a pair of pirates changed the course of history by working together instead of fighting. So sit back and enjoy.  I can guarantee that you will have a good time. whether the world gets to read these stories is up to you.
