If you relish being in control of your own destiny, being the hero of the moment or have a passing fancy for anything Elvis, then you’ll love my locative digital narrative, The Chapel of Unlove.
The Western Australian Premier’s Book Awards Shortlisted The Chapel of Unlove takes place in and around the Sanctuary Cove Marina at the northern end of the Gold Coast, Queensland. It’s a riotous romp through one of the Coast’s most iconic and picturesque marine havens featuring Machiavellian magicians, pooch-loving pirates, hair-raising boat rides and galleons of tongue in cheek humour; a kind of Elvis meets Death at a Funeral.
Imagine your godmother is about to marry the man of your nightmares, an Elvis impersonator named, Barry. Despite the stunning Sanctuary Cove Resort location they’ve chosen for their nuptials, things turn decidedly ugly when the wedding bouquet suddenly disappears along with your godmother’s antique wedding rings. It’s up to you to decide whether you help them make it to the chapel in time or sabotage this disastrous match for good.
Story City is unique in that it allows you to fully immerse yourself into a choose-your-own-adventure-style experience, where you are the main character and can literally choose whichever path you’d like the story to take. I love that the reader has the ultimate control and that Story City encourages readers of all ages to get out and physically discover more about the locales they reside in or visit. It truly is an awesome story telling experience. Better than Pokémon! And I had an absolute ball conceiving and writing one of the adventures!
