To give you a bit of background information, my main character (Emeric Dertok) has recently come back into society after eight years of living the life of a hermit. He’s working for the King (Jornan), who charged him with the task of tracking down spies trying to sabotage the government. But as enters…[Read more]

@jodi-maile Thank you!

@trahia-the-minstrel That actually is a good idea.

@e-k-seaver There are multiple species of creatures as well as humans in the story, and they each have a different naming system. So that’s why my names are really weird.

The premise I have so far (for the first book anyway, I might make it a series):

Torrent Starcatcher has had a hard life.

She was born into a universe in turmoil; the violent dictator Indy has been in control since before…

As you can see by the title, I’m trying to start a Portfolio/Blog. I’m using Wix to host it. Does anyone have any tips or advice on making an engaging website, and what it should/shouldn’t include? Also, when you have a blog, I’ve read that you should stick to one topic, is that true?? Or can I write about anything I think people would…[Read more]

So I’ll share mine first!

MC is Dylan, who is stubborn, quiet, and strong-willed.  A little self-protective.  Lmk if his dialogue fits his personality.
