Thank you!

Yes, I have read GE, and it’s a favorite. S. D. Smith is the C. S. Lewis of rabbits!

Cracken and Bracken are brothers. For full explanation here are their character descriptions:

Cracken (more grey than brown. He is not a Meadow Squirrel, oh no, he is from the Wood of Cornish. Yes, he is. A friend to everyone except a few and…[Read more]

@godlyfantas12
Thanks!

A circus land? That’s so neat! I love your names as well.

I like it too. It has some rather deep thoughts hidden in it. Yes, the tone change is thrilling!

@koshka

I don’t write Biblical fiction, but I completely support having a forum for it!

Sorry. I’ll try not to repeat myself in later posts. 😉

To clarify on certain points left too vague. The first two stories are about humans in a human world. The last is about an animal only world.

Knights= pastors/missionaries

Hi! Gramercy for inviting me!

@trahia-the-minstrel

Your book sounds so intriguing! Yes, I’m hooked.

So, here are three of my premisses. (Yes, I stole them from one of my former posts. I don’t type that quickly)

Possibility (because that’s what it is): Aethelthryth was set apart from her very birth. Her father was a serf whom the King freed. H…[Read more]

@maryg3 You stayed in a manor house in Ireland? That’s… *At a loss for words*. What was is like?

I’ve grown up as a homeschooler PK in a small town, so yeah, church can be a rather social place… but with Bible quizzing, the library, and our homeschool group, it’s not like we’re really isolated. (Or maybe I just don’t know the difference)

Did…[Read more]

Thank you! Yes, the first two are only human, and the last is only animals. I’m glad it was fun to read. I think the personality of each story worked its way into the synopses.

Which do you like best?

Wow, a forum given entirely up to WIP related blather? STUPENDOUS!

Where do I start? An introduction, that’s where!

Possibility (because that’s what it is): Aethelthryth was set apart from her very birth. Her father was a serf whom the King freed. He became a knight with a burden to reach those in bondage. Her mother is a knight’s daughter with…[Read more]

Yay! Thank you. In fact, the shortage of well written Biblically sound analogies is what prompted me to make up one of my WIPs.

Helmer is awesome! His nearing brutal outside hides such a tender heart. Yes, that conversation is priceless.

I have not read all the books exactly, because I only skim-read the last, but I have read all the rest. My personal favorite is either The Green Ember or Ember Falls. Which is funny, since when we first heard that a certain rabbit may…[Read more]

@elfwing

This post has stirred me; I cannot be silent. 😉

I totally agree, and no, you don’t sound over cautious to me. As John 1:1-14 makes very clear, His Word is not something to play with, for “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”,”And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,(and we beheld His…[Read more]

Ugh, I can’t remember…, but I have had many ideas from listening to music, especially worship/altar. For example, the soloist sings something like: “You didn’t think you’d make it through the night,/ It’s a wonder you survived,/ but you’re still here…” And a sunrise-on-the-battlefield scene pops into my head. Also I have a habit of listening…[Read more]

@elanor

Oh, thank you! Lol. That makes more sense.Yours is very good too.

Um, thanks? I’m sorry, what is a tag line? (Please help)

@elanor @lorelei-writer

By the by, ya’ll’s poetry is beautiful.  When I write poetry it’s usually like lorelei.writers’ in meter and style.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yes, and it sounds so good. Will you have a glossary?

*note: to clarify my ambiguous “letter”. I meant כ and ח. Both make a throaty sound.

Thanks! It’ll be interesting to watch play out.

Also, about your culture, Horse and His Boy was always a favorite in our house. I can hardly run across hot pavement without thinking about Tashbaan. I love that you’re including the oud, which I only discovered the other day. About the veils, I know very little except what one might find in early…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Oh, I love building cultures and hearing what other people have made!

Let’s see… I don’t know the ú sound, it might be Hebrew (I’m not very far in).

Keivan Rus is basically the name of a federation of Slavs in the 9th to the mid 13th century. The part I mixed in is mostly from the older northern groups. They were a…[Read more]
