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]

Hey, sorry about the late welcome, but WELCOME anyway!  I’m Ella, I write dystopian/thriller/suspense/mystery/post-apocalyptic/YA novels.  I love myself a good mystery/thriller book on a rainy day with a cup of tea, if I’m in the mood.  If I’m not, I’m most likely in the gym or playing basketball or hanging with friends.  And writing is…[Read more]

Ah, Danek… I could likely rant for hours about him, poor fellow. He’s a villain… of sorts. (It’s hard to explain without spoiling books 1 and 2.) But anyway, basically, he just wants someone to love him, but, unfortunately, it seems fairly impossible. His mother is dead; his father was emotionally crippled by her death and isn’t a…[Read more]

Maybe we’ll just nod our heads, pretend we understand, and throw out some technical sounding jargon so it looks like we know what we’re doing (and not at all panicking XD)

When I start a story, I almost never know where it’s going to go, except with maybe a mental image of the end, and when I end it, it feels so bittersweet, like I’m saying goodbye to a friend.

Oh, sea serpents are very cool! Have you seen the one in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader‘s movie? It’s a serious monster. 🙂 My favorite mythical animal would likely be a dragon, but I love the idea of phoenixes, griffins, and the rest.

Hi, I’m Lily!  Welcome to the K. P forum!  I hope you enjoy your time here!

Wait!  There’s a haunted hotel in Yosemite?!  What was it like?

Welcome to the forum!

*cheers* Another pineapple pizza person, yay! And I have to agree with your assessment of Narnia vs. LOTR. Tolkien wins, hands down (He is likely the author I admire most), but I also am and forever will be a Narnia nerd. 😛

Now for the customary welcoming questions:
