I've always been fascinated by the commedia dell'arte, especially the roguish trickster called Arlecchino, or Harlequin.
Hence, when I first arrived online, and found myself writing fiction for the ADND-L mailing list, I bestowed upon myself the handle of Harlequin, and used it for all of the stories I was working on. In fact, "he" eventually showed up in a few stories himself.
With the aid of a good search engine, and some old friends, I've found copies of many of these stories:
- Tales of the Guild Assasins, and how they are trained.
- The Harlequin's Legacy A special kind of magic.
- Tales of the Zodiac A later work, written while under the influence of too many Spectre comics.
- Lord of Misrule, a quick tale I dashed off in honor of Mardi Gras. NEW [sort of]
