Undelund Tales is a collection of stories created by Tim Harbyns (an anagram of the writer's real name), and these tales are based in and around the fictious nation of Undelund.

The genre of these tales includes a dash of fantasy (mysterious energies and lurking beasts), steam-powered things, and Victorian-era sensibilities.

While some tales include a dusting of magic or the appearance of some ghastly creature or two, the key focus is very much a human one.

The central core of each story centres on human nature and explores themes such as: bullying, homelessness, escaping abuse, false friendships, cause and effect, and so on.

These stories are written by me, a spirit having a human experience, and while I do use some AI tools (along with regular tools) to help with any visual/audio storytelling, they are not used in the writing itself; so, any spelling or grammatical errors are entirely my fault - sorry! 😳

Given the choice I'd always rather work with humans than A.I. tools on all aspects of creative projects; until I can do that (and being an introvert by nature doesn't help), I'll work with what's available.

My stories aren't written to win awards but hopefully are enjoyable in their own right with a mix of entertainment and morality.

In terms of reading, my favourite book of all time is The Old Curiosity Shop by my favourite author, Charles Dickens. Not coincidentally, Undelund is a country similar to mid-Victorian era England with added sprinkles of magical sugar and monsterly spice.
