Don't know why, but as I was working on the Ravenforge Kingdom for Spirit's Blessing, I had a weird thought. Why not give the royal family a familiar called Sir Barksley the Concerned. And by the time the story starts, we're on like Sir Barksley the 80th. Not that the royal family knows that. They just believe that the original Barksley's spirit kept inhabiting one of his kids after he passes away.

For the first time in a while, I'm actually diving into the weeds when it comes to worldbuilding. I'm not only considering political boundaries, but also biome boundaries

So two kingdom names as well as a forest name have been decided for Spirit's Blessing. The kingdoms of Ravenforge (human) and Souldew (forest elf) as well as the Eternal Forest will eventually be available to see on Patreon.

I love how the duke family I'm working on for my story is basically two muscle heads, a force of nature, a savvy political manipulator, and then the great library as a human.

There are two weeks left of the Kickstarter for my fantasy novel Widdershins, and it's over 800% funded.
I began the kickstarter as a kind of last attempt at something hopeful and it's just exceeded my expectations. The support is wonderful. There are still 3 reward tiers left--have a look!

Yeah, so if you want to grab my books through any of D2Ds affiliates, you have until the end of this month.

But if you want to grab Awakening through non D2D or Bezos sites, it is finally up on Kobo and you can pick it up there or any of their affiliates.

And if you like (or hate it) don't forget to leave a review

#ScribesAndMakers № 10 If your project will be part of a series, do you know that before you start?

It depends. Awakening and Alliances were initially stand alones, but as I kept losing outlines and reworking the story, they ended up becoming a series (Divine Wars and Eternal Kingdoms respectively). Order of Creation started as a series, but I'm not sure how long that will last. It ultimately depends on the vibes.

#PennedPossibilities 1009 Do any of your characters wear glasses?

So I'm kinda a sucker for a secretary with glasses. And the attendant maid for the noble love interest in Spirit's Blessing doubles as her liaison for any merchant interactions.

So the concept and title for book two in the Divine Wars series has actually been decided for a while now. Titled Gates of the Apocalypse, it was supposed to go more into the lore of why Roxanne was such a terrifying presence to the Skyworld gods and the dragons. And the gates that kept "Earth" from being overrun was kept in check by three beings; an Underworld god, a Skyworld god and a horseman of the apocalypse.

#WordWeavers 4/16 If your MC lived in our world, would they have good financial credit?

Roxanne would be like me, a struggling artist. Still not sure how she feeds her murder of ravens.

Llorien on the other hand has good financial sense and would probably head a company or two if she wanted to due to being a waitress and queen.

#WritingCommunity #FantasyAuthor #DivineWars #EternalKingdoms

#PennedPossibilities 983 — MC POV: If you had been able to choose, would you rather have been an only child or part of a very large family?

Llorien: I love my sister to death, but I feel like all the bad things happening are my fault. If anything, I wish I had been abandoned and everyone else lived in happiness. So I would rather be an only child, then maybe it would be easier for me to disappear.

⁨#ScribesAndMakers⁩ 03/30—Do birds ever feature in your work? Give an example.

Yes. Even if dragons don't count (fantasy author ftw), I do have pegasi, giant ravens and a giant flock of ravens kept in an alternative dimension as pets by a very timid and reclusive daughter of two very powerful gods.

#ScribesAndMakers 3/20. Self-promotion day. Shame optional.

So hi. I'm an author and content creator. Lover of fantasy and Pokemon and everything RPG. I try to keep up with a lot of my ideas, but often get overwhelmed and forget to share them with the world.

Still working on my site, but consider following me on Patreon. I try to update it, but it's more of a tip jar for now.

Your mentor shouldn’t save the story.
They should prepare someone else to.

If your mentor can solve everything… your hero doesn’t matter.

Has there ever been a review that makes you think about your shortcomings as a writer?

For me, there was a review on Legends of Signaia that made me realize that while my ideas are good, my execution isn't keeping up. And that just means there is room for me to grow as a writer. Just because I got a bad review doesn't mean that the concept itself was bad. Just means I have work to do on the followups.

So alongside Spirit's Blessing, I'm also working on the second book in the Divine Wars series titled Gates of the Apocalypse. A continuation of Awakening, Roxanne not only meets the Sky gods for the first time, but learns the details of the oracle tied to her.
