Here it is. My first deleted chapter. This is a chapter I wrote to explain the history behind my story. When you factor in the amount of research I did, I would guess I spent nearly six months writing this chapter. But alas, nearly five months out from publishing, I have decided to cut it. […]
Building Story
Now and then another writers comes to me with advice on writing. Below is a letter I wrote to one author in response to a plethora of questions she had on how a writer builds story. Dear Writer: Your question was: Oh! Also. I was wondering how much it really bugged you not […]
Excerpt “Where is your brother?”
Excerpt from Dolor and Shadow “Where is he?” Geirolf waited for Bergen to speak. Instead, the Dark One simply grinned from behind the flask, catching a bit of light with the scar on his right brow. Geirolf brought his voice down with a bit more severity than before. “Rune is nowhere to be found. […]
Excerpt: “The last of my life is leaving me.”
Excerpt From Dolor and Shadow Kallan inhaled again, painfully numb to the stagnant nothingness as she stared into the black waters of the Kattegat. The waves washed into the rock, beating at Lorlenalin’s base like the void that pushed against her, wearing her down little by little, carving out the rock one wave at […]
Excerpt: “Why did you save me?”
Excerpt from Dolor and Shadow Empty and forgotten, the third flask lay among their bags as Kallan stared up at the moon’s crescent. With every image that plagued her imagination, her sanity slipped further from rational. Huffing, she flipped to her side. From across the fire, light spread up and over Rune, spilling over […]
The Eladrin Stones
The Eladrin Stones Welcome to my mediocre hobby writing! The Eladrin Stones are D&D Fan Fiction that I do not take seriously. Neither should you. It is for ADULTS ONLY as there is much swearing and debauchery. The Eladrin Stones can only be found here as I am not publishing them nor am I putting […]
Building Bergen
This page is part of the tour. Bergen. “I love Bergen,” I say with a grin. I really don’t know how Bergen managed his way into my book. Knowing him, he probably slipped in through the back when I wasn’t looking. As I broke and shaped my story, I worked and warped it around […]
Creating Kallan
Kallan. Today, she is like my sister. My subconscious. My best friend. She is quiet and reserved and she stands at 6’2”, always to my right, watching me: waiting for when I need her, waiting for the moment when I sit down and continue her story. She is currently standing in Lorlenalin where I left […]
Beginning Book Three…
So…I’m blogging this Autumn afternoon because I am having a hard time pulling away from the Social Media to submerge myself into Bergen’s world. What’s worse, is I know what awaits Bergen…and I don’t want to go there. But I must… Another part of me wonders if I can redo what I just did. But […]
Making Kallan’s World Real
Tales of the Drui: Lorlenalin’s Lies was finished at 250,000 words. Because the book was so long, I had a problem with remembering the full story and events at any one given time. This was wonderful as, every time I read my book from “cover to cover” so to speak, I had forgotten most of […]
