Seasons in WIP

Not sure what this question is asking, but I love describing seasons: the hints of their approach, how it feels to be in the middle of one. There are festivals that fall in different times of year. In my upcoming release, Giants' Gate, the approach of winter is a major concern.

What does your MC miss?

Ooh, a new hashtag game I just discovered! 🤗

Maddie misses her home. Her entire country, actually.

Snippet Saturday; Word to Find is "Demand".

This is very similar to "Find The Word" tag games on tumblr. Search the manuscript for the word, and share a snippet that includes it...

It's not so much who CAN the MC trust, but who they THINK they can trust, am I right?

Tamila first appears in my #fantasy series in book 2 and has a very prominent role in my #WIP, volume 3. She's a fun character to write, and was originally created for an unpublished short story I wrote some five or ten years before starting THE DRAGON'S BROOD CYCLE. https://dragonsbrood.net

A great deal of #mythology and #history—mostly #British and #Irish (although there are others)—is woven into my #fantasy #books, THE DRAGON'S BROOD CYCLE. Three of the series antagonists, introduced in volume 2, fall into this category. Here are the Jacks, as illustrated by Leanne Hannah. https://dragonsbrood.net #writingCommunity #fantasyIndies #bookstodon @bookstodon

This is Celine, one of the primary characters in my #fantasy #books, as illustrated by Leanne Hannah. With her is Rascal, her familiar. He’s a Kittsper—a creature of magic—a highly intelligent cat with silver eyes, bat-like wings, and a bony stinger at the end of his tail. As a dog person, I never expected to have a lovable feline in the series! 😮🐱 https://books2read.com/havenlost #writingCommunity #fantasyIndies #Caturday #Bookstodon @bookstodon

🔖 I’m late finding out about this, but damn this is cool. Annette marie is the best #urbanFantasy author right now, is doing amazing things, and I wish I were her. 😂 – A new Guild Codex project in the works… https://www.annettemarie.ca/single-post/2022/09/21/a-new-guild-codex-project #rpg #fantasyIndies #bookstodon @bookstodon

Day 3: TREASURES AND TRINKETS is a side #novella in my #fantasy #books series, exploring Maddy’s backstory. It's also a #loveStory and my personal favorite thing I’ve written. The #audiobook narration by actress and puppeteer Reay Kaplan is captivating and just magical. 💜 https://books2read.com/treasuresandtrinkets #writingCommunity #fantasyIndies #bookstodon @bookstodon

Day 2: HARMONY’S SONG is a short story that explores Daniel’s backstory. He’s a young urchin boy that Emily befriends in the main series. The #audiobook edition includes a song I wrote in conjunction with the story, which is performed by my wife.
While writing, the gameshow #NPR'S ASK ME ANOTHER featured a contestant named Harmony, prompting me to change that character's name.

@ShaulaEvans @bookstodon, I agree about building larger communities. I used to be pretty active with #fantasyIndies on Twitter. It was definitely fruitful, friendly, and rewarding.
