Hi, Hannah! I love to write fantasy, too! 🙂

Welcome to the forum @Hannah-Krynicki! Always glad to have a newbie on here. 🙂 The problem with newbies is, they don’t stay that way. 😉 😛

What kind of fantasy do you like to write? More of a historical style (like Tolkien) or incredibly fantastic fantasy? Like— really weird, awesome stuff that I don’t have a term for without going into a…[Read more]

@hope it’s pretty good. Really allegorical/pilgrim’s progress sort of thing. Sir Faithful. The Castle of (fill in the positive attribute blank). In that, they’re outrightly having the different qualities be named and sought out things. Sounds like you’re having it a bit more subtle than that, though. 😛 You could still allude to it in the titles.…[Read more]

Hm… maybe ‘Seekers of Truth’… assuming there are people in the story who are actually seeking to find the answers.
Is there an overall theme for the series? Is it God’s existence, God’s grace, God’s love, God’s mercy, man’s relationship with God? I find it’s usually much easier to think of a title when I know the theme and am pulling the…[Read more]

@writefury I’ve never read ‘The Quest for the Seven Castles’…is it good? In my series, each story deals with a separate and how it’s connected back to the Prince (love because of the prince, have inner peace because of trusting Him, etc.) They aren’t connected directly with each other. The theme which does run though the novellas is the Gospel…[Read more]

Thanks, @kate-flournoy! Thanks for replying, I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😀 I might have to use Holt again sometime. This is his only story as of yet. 😛

There was one book sort of going along that same concept I read called “The Quest for the Seven Castles”, except that one was going along traits mentioned in 2 Peter, I believe. Are you acknowledging within the story that the traits are connected, or is it more subtle?

@Daeus It’s Smashwords, I think. Thanks, that should help. 🙂

Legends of Light could work… 🙂

Fruits of the Fairies??? :s

Here’s a quick idea—don’t know if it has any merit, but it struck me all of a sudden.

Legends of Light.

Hm… I’ll have to think on that one. 😛 I’ll let you know if I come up with anything especially brilliant. 😉

Another question…if no one answers here I might start a topic. 😉 Anyway, does anyone know how to publish an ebook which isn’t on kindle? By that I mean, how does one link their book directly from a website so others can download it for kindle, nook, etc. I’m trying to figure this out so I can have it on my website and then price match so it…[Read more]

Hey, @writefury! Sorry, I didn’t notice you’d posted or I would have gotten back to you sooner. 😛
I love this story— everything about it. The casually western feel, the quiet vividness of the MC… and the emotional hook with Owen Morgan. All the characters were well done, the dialogue was fantastic, and the last line was perfect. Tied it all…[Read more]

Great story, Jada! It would definitely be a good start for something bigger if you wanted to. 🙂
Something I’d fix, you have her thoughts at the beginning in italics and quotation marks. I think only the italics are really needed here.
Enjoyed reading it!

Thanks, @kate-flournoy. 😉

Oh— and another new favorite.

Rose of Prophecy, by @Hope Schmidt. 😀

Seriously. Which says a lot for her, because when someone reads a book specifically to pick holes in it (I beta read it for her) they generally can’t get over the mistakes. 😛

I love some of the descriptions used in the prophets; Joel 2:2 is one of my favorite examples (and the only one I could think of at the moment):

A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any…
