  • “‘You met crass fools in that Kassirian shop yesterday,’ Locke said, ‘but you hired professionals. Whatever happened there has passed. When you talked to Jaxson, I assume you talked to him about hiring capable hands for your cause. Well, you’ve got something better than that. You’ve hired Battaracks.’” Making the decision to finish Serpent in…

  • Brothers & Sisters.

    As I was writing along in the first chapter of The Unknown Scourge yesterday, I realized something interesting. The story was originally conceived as a science fiction revolution type of story, heavily inspired by Final Fantasy VII, which I was playing heavily at the time I thought of the story. It was a tale about…

  • ”     The details of last night reformed themselves, building the scene again for him. Each dull pain reawakened as he revisited every blow, every smash, pain imbued into each muscle and bone in his body. It all started with an argument, a slammed door, Awngel’s dagger glare. And then there was Hederrick, the man from…

  • The Giant Red Re-do Button.

    This morning, a wonderful thing happened and, like most wonderful things, I’m pretty sure it’s also a bat shit crazy. You see, I was trying to think of something to write about in this blog today, since I’ve already done a writer’s quote, I have no books finished, and it’s still not Friday (WHY NOT??).…

  • “‘Are you crazy?’ he demanded back, throwing up his arms in frustration. ‘Why would I be following you? Me and my five friends, no less, because we’ve nothing better to do than stalk around, following mad women through the streets. Hadesari’s Mask! What did I do to piss off the Ana’aea’aek now?’” Happy Wednesday, everyone,…

  • World-Building: Maja.

    A little while ago, I came across a post from a fellow RoWer (I can’t remember for the life of me right now who it was, arrrg!) who posted a few thoughts about the currency system in her novel, which got me thinking about doing some worldbuilding posts of my own, especially since Aryneth has…

  • “There were no signs of scheming on that bold, frank face, though. Just the same hard determination that had always been there, with the faint mist of something else clouding his eyes. On closer inspection, Gilferen could find those eyes steadily on the back of Taluin Sera Cohl, on the long pale braid swaying slightly…
