I love sibling relationships — I’m particularly fond of brother-brother relationships. Which is kinda funny, seeing as how I’m a girl.😂 I did have to two brothers, though, so it’s not like I have no experience in seeing this relationship play out. I also know a lot of brother-brother pairs in my friend group.

But yeah, I really…[Read more]

@lewilliams

I love your profile pic. Perry is one of my faves.❤️

@power

It sounds like you’re writing epic fantasy — correct if I’m wrong — but if so having a larger cast isn’t bad. Read Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series if you want to see a huge cast handled magnificently.

However, I would probably recommend that you keep the number of main protagonists to 3 or at the max 5 — just remember that…[Read more]

I’ve read Jane Eyre, I own both the actual book and the manga classic edition. I enjoy the story lots! Jane is a great character, and her relationship with Mr. Rochester is so sweet … and I loved the part at the start with her and Helen, as well. Made me quite sad/touched when I first read it.

St. John kinda annoys me, tho…[Read more]

This literally happened to me a few minutes ago.

I was being silly, and holding my Mum’s morning tea muffin aloft on a plate like Rafiki holds up Simba, while chanting The Circle of Life. I caught Mum’s attention as I held said plate aloft with two hands, and she gave me look like — as said by Adrian Plass — I’d announced a pig was d…[Read more]

@power

Ach, it’s Braxton and Destiny! Such good characters…such good lines…

Oh, and did I forget Landmar? Not quite, who could?

@lydia-s

Wow! Those are fantastic! I especially love that middle one. XD

@godlyfantasy12

Those are some wonderful lines! (And action tags; November is awesome.)

@kathleenramm

If the word are cooperative and characters are caught in the midst of some dilemma or moment of humor, then I think I get excited. However, most of the time I’m kinda neither. It usually settles me into a quiet bit of daydreaming/brainstorming. Like I said, if everything’s working, then I can get excited and want someone to read…[Read more]

@madelyn

Sorry I’m so late in replying. Life is nuts.

That sounds AWESOME! I love good farytales and retellings, some of my favorite authors being George MacDonald, C. S. Lewis, Gail Carson Levine, and Hans Christian Andersen. (Or at least some of his stuff)

I would definitely appreciate a retelling of Rumplestiltskin, especially as that story…[Read more]

@madelyn

That’s okay. 😉 I wasn’t very clear. The Lost Kingdom of Barmarre was mostly pretty fun; I enjoyed it, and had difficulty putting it down.

Even when it was past midnight…

Anyway,

Yes! It is a good book.

Thank you!

There’s so much potential in losing his gift, which might be a bit of work to figure out, but it will definitely be…[Read more]

@faith-q

We’ll, right now I can’t think of many actually funny stories which would make sense out of context, which is annoying as I know of many.

@godlyfantasy12

I love your blog! I’m enjoying reading your posts.😊

@avacoulter

Thank you! I hope you like it!😊

@trahia-the-minstrel ^

AHH I’M SO LATE TO THIS BUT I’M SO EXCITED FOR YOU CONGRATS!!! *Goes to check it out now*

@madelyn

Hmmm, I don’t think so? I’m sorry for being confusing. (Which I can definitely be.) I think Gail Carson Levine wrote those, and I’ve read some of her stuff (like Ella Enchanted), though not those you just mentioned. Maybe I’ll have to look into them. 🙂 (I did read one called something like The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre, so that might…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl

Thank you!

@karissa-chmil

Thanks! Yes, I’ve had some people (most people) tell me my names are impossible to pronounce. I think I need to include a pronunciation guide at the start of the book. XD.

I’m sorry to hear about the tragedy. I pray that God gives you healing in this troubled time.

@madelyn

Yeah, Ella Enchanted is good.

If I ever remember the author of Ella, I’ll put it on here. There’re a bunch of different books with the title, but this particular one has a very unique twist. I mean, what other one has the stepsisters be realistic or suffer as well as Ella? Or a pet chicken that likes gossip? (Okay, don’t answer that, I…[Read more]

I’ve recently started rewriting my second book. Here’s an excerpt from what I’ve just wrote today:
