 Author has written 6 stories for Fantasy, Spiritual, and Life. When I was 12 years old (way too long ago) I bought my first ever fantasy novel; Dragons of an Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weiss and Tracey Hickman, and my life was forever transformed. I've been a lover of all books ever since, but dwell mostly in high, epic, fantasy. I've dabbled in writing over the past number of years, as far back as 15 years ago. I've started upwards of 7-8 books, finished none. By publishing my works here, giving feedback and receiving it, I was able to complete my first book; New Dawn Rising (formerly A New Dawn Coming and likely to change again). The comments certainly helped motivate me to keep writing through the dry spells, and gave me good advice on what was working and where to make improvements. I provide reviews hoping to provide that spark for other writers, and by being critical you pay more attention to what they're doing well, what mistakes they're making, and it ultimately improves your own work. If you read something of mine, I'd love to hear about what you thought. Want me to read yours, by all means drop me a line or give me an invite. I'm happy to help. Some incredibly helpful authors on the site, Zanybellecloudo, Lorrahbear, Barbados, alltheeagles, Michael Cooper, and The Warrior Poet. Terrific writers and better people. There are more but I've had the most contact with them. "Even the most apparently fluid and effortless writers achieve that sense of effortlessness through a vast amount of effort." Joe Abercrombie Updates New Dawn Rising Has had a second rewrite/edit and has been reposted. I'm declaring it finished forevermore. (June, 2018) A Darkness Within, the sequel to NDR, has kind of been in a holding pattern. Life has taken over and writing time is hard to come by. Still...I'm picking when I can. The latest Chapter (17) uploaded today. I continue to fall behind on this but rest assured, it is still in the works and not abandoned. (September 15, 2018) Ankier Chronicles II has been posted in it's entirety, enjoy! (Sept 26/17) What to Read Lorrahbear's - Mythic Healing Barbados' - Shattered Fortress I & II & III The Warrior Poet's - Jack Simple and sequels Zanybellecloudo's - Deadville, Undying Love and most definitely Fun in FUNeral alltheeagles' - Under A Blue Grey Sky Michael Cooper - Shards and 'Robot Space Castle' for a laugh! |

Soldier Jack by The Warrior Poet reviews
The concluding installment! A sequel to Jack Simple and Jack in the Wald, but can be read as a standalone. Crushed between two warring Kingdoms, thrust into the midst of a bloody frontier war, Jack does everything he must to protect his family, his liberty, and his home. Rated 'M' for violence, sexuality, and some coarse language. Reviews would be most appreciated!

Jack Simple by The Warrior Poet reviews
Jack is a Woodcutter. Eidna is a Housemaiden. Fate draws them together, but Fate is complicated. A human story that takes place in a fantasy world, my goal is to show the magic that resides within the life of the common, everyday people that fantasy so often ignores. Sexually suggestive themes, but nothing explicit. Story is currently being rewritten.
