Yes! Sounds like what I’m looking for! Thank you! I’ll look into it.

Awesome that you play volleyball! I used to play it in the 3rd grade, but sadly I haven’t played any other sports on a “real” team since then. I do like to play soccer and volleyball with my siblings and at our church camp outs though. If I could play a sport I’d go for soccer, but like you were mentioning, there’s just not enough time to do…[Read more]

Well… I always thought I would submit to a publishing company, but it seems that sometimes that can be a very long and expensive process, so I self-published my pirate novel and it was relativity easy and very inexpensive, the problem is if I really would like to see the book sell, I haven’t done a very good job at advertising.
But I really…[Read more]

Hi Rosey! Wow you’re published! That’s awesome!
What’s the title (or titles) of your published work?

Ahem…. *clears throat very loudly*…. Welcome to the forum Mr. Ezra Wilkinson. *claps and cheers are heard in the background*
We’re very glad to have Daniel’s tote’s bestie along for the ride.
What kind of box is it exactly that you prefer not to break out of? (does someone know how to insert a puzzled face?)

Hello, hello Sarah! Welcome to the forum!
Yay someone who knows their grammar! You will probably be my future reference person for that yummy little detail so important for writing!
Oooo I love British English, but unfortunately I’m not very familiar with real British English, so when I write I make it up 🙂 So I thank you in advance for offering…[Read more]

All three of your books sound very intriguing! I’m particularly drawn to the princess one, cause Princess Academy had been one of my favorite books for quite awhile! If you do finish it, I want to know!
Well… Right now I am working on a renaissance novel that is about doing what is right when you are unjustly accused and unjustly treated. It…[Read more]

Why hello Shaina! So glad to have you on the forum!
Wow we have a lot in common! Only the big difference is that I don’t live in a desert in Colorado although I completely agree that it is georgeous there and the fact that we start mentioning the humitiy level around here when it hits about 80%. 🙂
Do you ever climb those mountains that you can see? 🙂

Hmmm… Maybe I can be of some assistance Tatiana, in the understanding of certain dialogue from a certain Mr. Ezra Wilkinson. Take another look at his profile picture. You see those antlers? They hail from a certain Canadian tale in which there lived moose men, apparently of which some still survive today. (Perhaps Mr. Ezra is of their d…[Read more]

I’ll say Hi!
Hello Tatiana! So glad to have you a part of the forum!
Have you finished writing any books as of yet?

I used to think that there couldn’t be such a thing as “happily ever after”. I was tired of seeing how entertainment (books and movies etc.) were portraying happily ever after endings. After all, the typical Disney and Jane Austen “happily ever after” is never heard of in real life so it can’t be possible right? As I said, that’s what I used t…[Read more]

Thanks Daeus for all the helpful info!
Haha! I asked about the sword being able to shatter, because I read a fiction book in which that happened. I’ve never heard of it before though and since then I’ve always wanted to know!

Jumbo Amanda! (that’s all the more Swahili I know:)

Wow! I am so amazed by the multitude of languages you’ve taken on and learned! My family lines have some Dutch in them so I was excited to hear that you speak it! What’s one of your favorite Dutch words?

Yay go violins! For how long have you played?

Ooo and what kind of genre do you like to…[Read more]

Daeus,

I’m so glad someone has some expertise on the subject! Might I ask some questions as well?
Would you know… what are the possibilities of a dagger going up against a broad sword and coming out victorious? (we’ll assume that the two opponents are of equal strength and skill) Are there any other downsides to that senerio beside the fact…[Read more]

Glad you were able to settle on his name and characteristics!
Yay! Edwin Brook now lives 🙂

Hi Sarah!

I’m not an expert when it comes to sword fighting either! But here’s a couple things I found helpful for those fight scenes.
The reason I find sword fighting so difficult to write about, is because it in itself is merely two men executing attacks and defenses with their weapons. (And I don’t know any technical terms for how they…[Read more]

Why hello Sarah!

We do have a lot of animals 🙂 Our parrot is a blue fronted Amazon and her name is Princess Jewels, but she usually ends up getting called Birdie.

Rachel!

The fifth book is titled Daughter of Treasure and you can find it for sale at BookTango.com or on Amazon.
Hahaha! Yes I should like to add an aardvark to our mix! And maybe a koala bear and a hippo would be nice!

I understand the grammar mistakes. I’ve gone back through my published book and fixed a few things as well. 🙂 I’d love to…[Read more]

Hi Rachel!

Well… 🙂 The first two were written when I was 13 and were part of a series (which was never completed) about three young children who are shipwrecked on an island that is a haunt for pirate’s and how they get home. The next two books were a start of a new medieval series following the children of the royal family and how they save…[Read more]
