Raven's Heart

The plot: A woman asks a raven to fetch a piece of her lover’s heart. Last month I republished my ebook Temptation & Mozzarella . This month I would like to share a link to a PDF file of the story Raven’s Heart . This is a story I created but did not know where or how to showcase. It is an experimental digitalised fairy tale of a sort. A mixture of strange graphics to play with the boundaries of reader interaction and text/pictures. I used formatting available through Microsoft Word to edit the pictures I had drawn.  My inspiration for the piece is at the end of the document. If you enjoyed the story and would like to make a donation this can be made to my Paypal account. I would be happy to answer any questions.

Conductive Inks

Okay so this is going off subject from my usual posts. But I just saw this awesome Ted presentation about conductive inks by Dr Kate Stone. Dr Stone's talk blew me away, I got chills. This is what I want to do with an idea I am currently working on! I just created a rough 'graphic novel thing' called Raven’s Heart. I would love to make it interactive. Imagine a black background with almost 'psychadelic' text and pictures in white and red. The idea surrounding Raven’s Heart was to make the reader interact more with the text to view the story.  Here is an example... Now I’m no graphics expert. So if there is anyone out there who is, and therefore can improve on my idea, or if anyone is able to make my dream of creating an interactive book on conductive ink paper come to life please get in touch. I am very very excited about this technology and its creative potential for 'digital' novels.
