Autumn was my first pen name! I was going to go by Autumn Meadowlark for a while, but I picked R.M. Archer after I decided “Meadowlark” was too weird, lol. Autumn is a lovely name. ^-^

@keilah-h

Ugh, yes! But still, it’s fun to wait and guess what will happen, even if you go mad from the anticipation. XD

@trahia-the-minstrel

It’s really good! I have heard that the first book can be a bit slow, and a friend of ours never really got hooked because of the gentle introduction. Like Keilah H. said, it gets very active!

Smalls is…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Hmm not really. He focused on other stuff haha.

@daisy-torres

That sounds fun! I’m like you in how I don’t usually stay in one world very long. Usually just one book. Probably because after each book I want to try something totally different.

What current world are you working on right now? Have you made any recent developments with it?

@devastate-lasting

ooh, yeah, I really learned the…[Read more]

*Stormy auplause*

Which was your favorite book? Mine was always the first, but my siblings say that if I actually read (opposed to skimming so fast I miss half the scenes) Ember Falls that’ll change. I doubt it…

@keilah-h

Anyway, my animals are complete animals in clothing that walk on two legs but often run (or lope) on four. I’m still figuring out how exactly armor and weaponry will work with this, but so far I haven’t had any real difficulties.

@thelobsterlover

Hmm, forgiveness arcs…

First, huzzah for you book! Forgiveness is a powerful theme.

As for examples, I’ve heard that The Count of the Monte Cristo has an amazing forgiveness plot thingy, and Les Miserables has one too, if I’m not mistaken. Koshka already mentioned the others I can think of.

*waves excitedly* WELCOME TO KINGDOM PEN!!!!!!! *sends welcome goodie basket with chocolate, cookies, and books* SO awesome to see you here!! (Also, this has got to be one of the coolest and unique intro posts I’ve ever seen on KP, so you definitely deserve an award for that. ;P)

@keilah-h

Thank you! I love some of those too, especially when it’s like Green Ember or Mistmantle Chronicles. These are physically just like normal animals here (besides the whole clothes, weapons thing), but are otherwise persons (if not human).

@keilah-h

Welcome! That’s interesting. Now I wonder how much my characters were influenced by books I’ve read. Probably quite a bit.

In Eirtan, my character’s features were actually inspired by the countries I was blending. For the series I’ve mainly ranted about on here, Aethel resulted in an attempt of mine to create a character with long,…[Read more]

@keilah-h

YAY! I’m so glad you liked it too!

Our family has enjoyed this series immensely. Not only were the books great, but we were guessing things that were very close to the actual outcome. (We got hooked before release of Ember Rising, so there was lots of room for speculation.) You know, The key the heirs hold. XD We read a little too muc…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Your characters sound (or look?) really good. You’re very creative!

@karissa-chmil

I just reread my response and realized it was pressent tense (English, *sigh*). My Dad went over to Spain for a several months to help a missionary family get settled, like close to twenty-five years ago, so something’s have probably changed. =] I have seen a bunch of pictures though, and seriously, those castles are beautiful.

@thelobsterlover

Hmm, forgiveness character arcs. There aren’t a lot of well written ones that I’ve read, but The Viking Quest, Broken Bow by LaJoyce Martin, and Ben-Hur (although I highly recommend listening to the Focus on the Family audiobook instead of the actual book) were all good. Sir Kendrick and the Battle of Belion, The Green Ember…[Read more]

@karissa-chmil

Good. I won’t worry then. 🙂

Yeah, my writing style shifts between very wordy to rather sparse.  Tain’t the best. Tweren’t the worst. XD

Hmm. I like my different series for their various reasons. The duology is the least worked out, so I’m only calling it a duology because I don’t know how much material it actually contains. I’m…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

OoOoOoOOo THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!! I am EXTREMELY stoked for the Reflections released. I just bought my copy of The House That Didn’t End (I know, I know… took me long enough, lol) a couple of weeks ago and CAN NOT wait to dive into it!!!!! I would sign up for an ARC copy but I sadly don’t meet the platform requirements of over 300…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Cool! Btw, would you consider ever starting a cover design business if you enjoy cover designing? I definitely wouldn’t because although making covers is fun, I’m not so good at it, lol.

I totally would, if I was decent by at it! XD Honestly, I don’t know if I’m good at it or not, and I’ve never tried digital drawing either, so the…[Read more]

@thelobsterlover

Mitchel Kemp was drafted into the military, but he doesn’t want to be here, especially as his father had been killed in combat leaving him his little sister’s legal guardian.

A cream/grey marbled cat, green eyes, wedge shaped face (not unlike a Russian blue’s features), not tall or short or big or small, fur’s not long or short…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Eek I’m glad you’re getting it published!!! Congrats!!!

Would you like to write a guest post on my blog? I don’t have a super large following or anything, but I’d absolutely love to have you on if you’re willing! You could promote your book(s) if you’d like!

@e-k-seaver

Sounds fun! I’ve never read any dystopian (it tends to be a dark and morbid genre, two things I avoid in literature), but if I ever do I’ll have to look into your book first. Congratulations on The Reflections!
