Dian wakes up in a different time, in an unfamiliar place, living a life that isn’t his own. Returning home? Impossible. First, he must complete a task. And then there’s this woman – trapped in the same world, mysterious and unpredictable.
Welcome to my new project: Infinisomnia
Infinisomnia is a series of coherent short novels. The stories are free, libre and open source.
You have taken up writing now?
Yes! A few years ago, I discovered writing for myself.
It started as a little experiment. I wanted to find out if I could tell stories. And sure enough, it worked! But not only that, I was even captivated by my new passion. I couldn't stop coming up with exciting plots and polishing sentences until they shone.
I also realized that there's not that much difference between writing program code and writing stories. Both require a good concept, structure, stamina, creative solutions, and a healthy dose of perfectionism. And if a section doesn't work as it should, there's even a bit of debugging involved. 😄
Infinisomnia is the result of almost two years of writing exercises and work on the overall concept. Three stories are already finished, and more will follow. I'm very excited to see where this journey will take me.
What kind of stories are they?
My short novels are a mixture of crime, adventure and time travel.
They are designed to be fun to read and to offer a little escape from everyday life. That's why the novelettes deliberately contain little action and drama, but still offer suspense, plot twists and a little bit of situation comedy.
Each story is about 8,000 words long on average, which makes it take about 40 minutes to read. I publish them irregularly, but try to write three to four stories a year.
Free and open source?
Of course! You can read the stories in full on the website or download them as an ePUB file for your eBook reader. There is no paywall and no copy protection.
The source code for the stories is available at Codeberg.
