Wow, those details sound amazing! I love how the moon really dictates their calendar and religion.
Sounds awesome!

@Halliejean
The question mark is amazing punctuation since in my opinion it really draws the reader into the story. 😀
Ooh, some doodles on your map would look epic! I always end up doodling on stuff – or just writing notes to myself.
I think my favorite character is probably the villain. There are a lot of ways a villain can behave, so there…[Read more]

I already planned that if Hollywood asks to make my book into a movie I’d refuse. 😀 lol The problem is, I’m pretty sure it would both mess up the plot and introduce a plethora of things I wouldn’t be comfortable letting young readers see. (There’s some violence in my book, but on the whole it should be kid friendly).
So, they’d definitely…[Read more]

Well, I’m not sure what theme is my favorite. Certainly something to do with forgiveness. I love developing a character’s trust in a story, but I have to be careful not to make it a soliloquoy about trust in God. XD

So, the books are not set in Rome or in a modern Rome. They are set in a…[Read more]

Thanks for the welcome! @Elishavet, I also write fantasy (no magic)! The thing is, it’s set in a world modeled after Rome and the nations of that time period, so it’s not as easily understood.

Hey, my name is Elizabeth and I’ve been writing for about 4 years. Not too long, actually, but in those 4 years I’ve learned quite a bit. I don’t really have a genre, but my biggest rule in writing is that it ascribes as close to the truth as possible. I also have a love of overarching themes and pulling the greatest idea out of the smallest…[Read more]
