Welcome, and yes, that would be splendid!

Jaybird replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 7 months ago
Awwww, thank you!
I’m so, so, SO glad you liked it. Scenes like that can be hard to do right, (and we sure didn’t get it perfect) but they’re loads of fun to write. Plus, it makes it all the more exciting when others enjoy them too.
Go on and write more! I’m sure they’ll be beautiful in their own unique ways.
(If you ever have one…[Read more]

And Janner giving his life for Kalmar and all the broken sort of fulfils the plotline between Artham and Esben. If that makes any sense.

Ok, yeah, we got it! It’s a wee bit restricted, but access is easy to grant. 😉

Wow, I never knew there were such like things available. Lo and behold the age in which we live!
That sounds awesome though.

Yes! That is the beauty of it – the gainful death, if you read the epigraph. It holds conviction and hope in the same hand.
I hope the doc helps! 😉 By the by, if you read the doc and want to comment, feel free! We, my sister and I, enjoy hearing feedback.
It’s really just a continuation of the epilogue that Peterson…[Read more]

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

*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…

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.

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.

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).

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]

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]

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

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.

Koshka replied to the topic Forgiveness Character arc in the forum Plotting 4 years, 7 months ago
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]

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]

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]

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.
