Guest Post by Hank Quense author of Falstaff's Big Gamble

I would like to welcome Hank Quense author of "Falstaff's Big Adventure" to my blog!


Eleven Things You Didn’t Know About Hank Quense’s Writing;

1: He writes only humor and satiric scifi and fantasy. He refuses to write serious fiction. He says a reader who wants to see serious genre fiction can get a belly full by reading the front page of any major newspaper.

2: He also writes stuff on fiction writing, but says that writing non-fiction is like work while writing fiction is plain fun.

3: He gets many of his story ideas while on vacation in remote parts of the galaxy.

4: On Zaftan 31B, the home world of a race of aliens, the zaftans buy his books, burn them and use the ashes in obscene religious rites.  His books are best sellers there.

5: Hank's book sales are doing fine.  His latest revenue projection predicts he'll break even in 60 or 65 years. After that, he'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

6: He currently has five novels or novellas in some form of completion.  He thinks he can do one a year if he doesn't get any more ideas on another novel or two. Obviously, this indicates a mind that is as disorganized as his desk and office

7: Hank and his wife Pat often time-travel while on vacation.

8: It is not true that Hank Quense is a pen name for Terry Pratchett or Tom Holt or Douglas Adams.

9: It is equally not true that Bernard Cornwell, Stephen King and other top authors ghost-wrote Hank’s stories

10: Hank is thinking of running for emperor in the next Gundarland election.

11: His Strange Worlds, Gundarland and Zaftan 31B exist in a  parallel universe only a short wormhole jump from our universe.

This novel is Shakespeare's Worst Nightmare.
It takes two of the Bard's most famous plays, Hamlet and Othello, and recasts them in Gundarland.  There, Hamlet becomes a dwarf and Othello a dark elf and Iago and his wife, Emilia, are trolls.
If that isn't bad enough, these two tragedies are now comedies with Falstaff, Shakespeare's most popular rogue, thrown in as a bonus.
Both Hamlet and Othello are plagued by the scheming Falstaff, who embezzles money from Othello.  After Hamlet becomes king (with help from Falstaff) the rogue becomes the dark nemesis behind throne.
