Stumptoad

by Jack Bates

Stumptoad lives close to the Crusted Swamp outside of a nearby village. When strangers see him, they are frightened. He has visions of his kind but he has not seen any of his kind and he is lonely. One day while at the swamp raking leeches, a visitor stopped and asked him about Prince Tilbert of Hickling. Stumptoad pretends to be the prince and from that moment his life is changed forever.

I started writing crime fiction several years ago. Before that, I optioned a horror screenplay to Triboro Films in New York, wrote plays and scenes for JD Drama Publishing in Houston, and penned a web comedy series for Duke Fire Productions in North Carolina.

Untreed Reads has just released my latest YA novel, Running Red.
