Both of y’all’s books sound amazing! (Yes I’ve been stalking this topic =] ) I hope they get published soon so I can read them.

I’m not writing an allegory in particular, but simply portraying truths in a different way. (Or is that what a parable is?) However, I keep running into rough spots. Here’s one.

@trahia-the-minstrel

There were probably more, but I’ve forgotten them😅. Anyway, I absolutely love reading, and I devour new books anytime I can get them.

You sound like my older siblings. XD

Only four books? That’s so sad, but I completely understand. I haven’t read as much this year as I would have liked.

The Secret Garden is definitely one of my all-time favorites.

Eeeek! I shall try my best to recall. (These are only first timers, and I didn’t look up any of these titles, so if I mess something up… Oh well.) No particular…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yes!

@trahia-the-minstrel

That is a long list, and many of which I have never heard of. 🙂

I have a friend that loves the Mark of the Lion series, but I haven’t read it yet.

Happy New Year!

@kathleenramm

Yay! This will be interesting. 🙂

I’ve read all those books except for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The Secret Garden is fabulous!

(There are some great middle grade books. I mean, wasn’t Narnia for children?) 😉

My reading list looks like a fiction salad with a handful of non-fiction croutons.

What books have I…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Oof! I hate when that happens.

Me too. (Wanna guess why I’m late again?)

This made me laugh harder than it probably should have.

Good! XD But, yeah, it does get annoying.

I wish more books would do that. *sigh* I know your main character is heroic, but we gotta be realistic, y’all.

Yes! Ugh.

(Hope you enjoy it.)

I KNOWWWW. Well, I g…

@avacoulter

Your mock cover is absolutely beautiful!

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thanks! It will be fun to try, at least. 🙂

I know! It’s so funny. I’m looking forward to yours too.

@joy-caroline

Hi! Sorry it took so long to reply, I was a few sentences from finishing my response yesterday, but my phone died. Vamoose!!! There went the past hours’ work. So, now that I’ve finally gotten back….

I think so too. 😉 It’s not used to it’s potential (but the, it’s not cliche either).

Especially then. Oy, a sacrificial character…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Thanks! I have some more contemplative lines, especially in the one where he’s given charge of the heir. You know, the whole “here I am, guarding one who’s father I let die. I hope this doesn’t get him killed too.”

But Wilfred has a resilient humor that I’ve had fun expounding on.

Yes, fanfics are great!

Yours sounds so good. That’s a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Haha, ugh. I’ll have to finish it. It was actually somewhere in Waterloo that I bottomed out. After a few attempts to read on, I returned the book to the library.

Yes! A complex backstory is like honey in sourdough. Technically not necessary, but important if you want to make good dinner rolls. 😉

As for a favorite trope? Well,…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

XD Oh no! Yeah, I would like him to live longer, but I think it’s an important plot point, character struggle, and place to relate to the reader. He is a protagonist, though, so… I don’t know. For a complete confession, (and funny fact) I actually made his character starting from his death and moving backward. It’s been an…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

Exactly! XD

@autumn-rebecca

I hope so… =/

Thanks, and your welcome! I probably talk about my books waayyy too much. XD

@joy-caroline

Ugh, yes. Why, oh, why must authors think they have to – or that it’s just fine if they do? IT’S GOD’S WORD, not a toy?! And like you said, the Bible is moving in itself. No need for embellishment.

*Heavy sigh*

ANYWAY….

The Life of Jesus, you say? I’ll have to look into it.

Okay, that’s fine! I understand. (Why can I still…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

Thank you! Sometimes it feels like I’ll never get my books written and ready.

The first two in the series are set in a medieval time period, while the last is sort of World War/War on Terror time. I am using animal characters (sort of like Green Ember or Redwall) only I’m writing it for an older audience (Of course, the books…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

Exactly. 😉

@keilah-h

Me too. Especially when it’s unexpected, like when it appears that the antagonist has “bested” the protagonist, but then in a few words that changes. XD

@autumn-rebecca

Anytime!
