The Lantern Festival

Chapter 1 · Low Tide

The lanterns went up at dusk, one for every house on Harbor Street. Mara counted them twice from the lighthouse steps. Forty-one. There should have been forty-two.

Below her, the festival hummed along as if nothing were wrong. Somewhere in that crowd, someone had decided one house would stay dark tonight.

Cozy Mystery · Chapter 1 · Low Tide

The Lantern Festival

Read by Joanna

The lanterns went up at dusk, one for every house on Harbor Street. Mara counted them twice from the lighthouse steps. Forty-one. There should have been forty-two.

She knew which one was missing before she reached the bottom of the hill. The Pelletier house sat dark at the end of the row, its porch light off, its curtains drawn. Nobody on Harbor Street skipped the festival. Not even old Henri, who complained about it every year and then stayed up later than anyone.

Biscuit, her one-eyed cat, wound between her ankles and refused to go any farther. Mara took that as a bad sign. She also took the spare key from under the third flowerpot, because Henri had shown her where it was, and because somebody had to.

How your book is written

Planned like a novel. Written scene by scene.

Before it writes a word, the AI plans the premise, the characters, and every chapter, so the story holds together and the ending pays off. Good stories take a moment: a full novel takes about an hour, and you can watch its progress while you wait.

  1. Premise

    Three possible premises from your brief; the strongest one wins.

  2. Characters

    A cast with wants, secrets, and reasons to collide.

  3. Chapter plan

    Ten chapters planned scene by scene, so the ending pays off.

  4. Scenes

    Written in order, each one picking up where the last left off.

  5. Your book

    All ten chapters arrive together, ready to read or hear.

Questions

Good to know before you start.

Is it free?

Yes. Creating an account is free, and every free account can create one story a month. Learning books are free too, within fair-use limits. No credit card needed.

How long does a book take?

Learning books are usually ready within minutes. A full-length story takes about an hour, because the AI plans the whole story before it writes a word. You'll see its progress, and you can close the tab while it works.

What kinds of books can I create?

Stories in fifteen genres, including romance, romantic comedy, cozy mystery, thriller, romantasy, fantasy, science fiction, horror, and historical fiction. Or a learning book on any topic: educational books built around one big idea, and hands-on technical guides with worked examples and exercises.

Can I control what's in my story?

Yes. Choose the tone, how intense it gets, the kind of ending, and topics to leave out entirely. Leave anything blank and we'll decide. Stories with adult content are for readers 18 and over, and carry content notes.

Can it read to me?

Yes. Press Listen on any chapter and a natural-sounding voice reads it while each word and sentence is highlighted. Choose from six voices, change the speed, skip 15 seconds either way, and pick up where you left off. The first time a chapter is played, its audio takes about 20 seconds to prepare.

Who can see my books?

Only you, unless you make a book public. A public book has a link anyone can open: they can read the outline and chapter 1 for free, and a free account unlocks the rest. You can make it private again at any time.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Everything works in your phone's browser, and read-aloud has lock-screen play and pause controls.

Is my book original?

Yes. Every book is written fresh from your choices, so no two are alike.
