Character Talk- Eldar

An elf with a devil-may-care attitude, he will go into battle cracking wise, and gets a kick he more dangerous something is. In fact, a couple of novels in I finally had to invent a native Maldene word that would translate as “Hutzpa” specifically to describe Eldar. After all, how many people d you know …

Places on Maldene: The Harbor of the World

The world of Maldene is a varied one, with a full range of terrain, magical places, and mysteries. That said, I thought I’d give a sneak-peak into some of that variety. One of the major ports of trade is the Harbor Of The World. Picture something the size of the Gulf of Mexico with the …

Another plot snippet

Okay, time for another piece of the plot puzzle. If you have read my little sample, you will notice that there is a narrator.

first plot post

Okay, so it’s time for a little bit about the plot. Well, first I can say that this is truly an epic series, far more than just your little trilogy, and more than even Harry Potter (though I admire Rowling). Exactly how much, I won’t say just yet. I will say that this first novel …
