Howdy! If you couldn't guess from the title, I've got some exciting news! The sequel to my book The Rise of Aredor is getting published!! The sequel, The Wildcat of Braeton, will primarily follow Aiden, (one of the secondary characters from the first book) and his own return home. We'll also see more of Corin … Continue reading Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Writing
It’s Strictly Business
Howdy! I haven't posted in a while and I have a two word reason for that: Grad School. Anyway, I thought I'd take a look at the business side of writing. Everyone always talks about the creative side of writing; characters, plot development, world building, etc. But do they ever really talk about what happens … Continue reading It’s Strictly Business
Review- A Different Kind of Courage
Howdy! I just finished a horrific week filled with tests, so I finally have time to sit back down at my computer (yay...) and do something not study related. Last week I shared an author interview with you. I was given a free copy of Sarah Holman's book A Different Kind of Courage to read … Continue reading Review- A Different Kind of Courage
Time for an Exerpt
Howdy! I thought I would share some of Worldjumpers with you today. Here's the first few hundred words. I welcome any feedback on it or if you would like to see more pop up randomly on this blog. Unless you don't know, this is my own work. Please don't try to steal it or use … Continue reading Time for an Exerpt
Review-The Rise of Aredor
Howdy! I realized it's been about a week since my last post. I've just been trying to enjoy my last little bit of freedom. School started back up yesterday for me. It looks to be another busy semester, but no surprise there. So, instead of boring you with my life, I decided to share a … Continue reading Review-The Rise of Aredor
Back In Town
Well, it's that time again. Rejoice, for I have finished my first summer session and therefore gross anatomy. That means no more cheesy anatomy related posts (or talk of cadavers). Finals finished up last Friday and I've been so busy trying to figure out what to do with free time that I have not posted. … Continue reading Back In Town
Of the Questions of These Recurring
Oh me! Oh life! I was recently asked by a fellow fantasy and Bilbo Baggins enthusiast, Miriel of Gisbourne, to answer four questions on writing. I’ll answer them and then tag three more people to do the same on their respective blogs. This really isn’t a burdenous (it’s a real word in Claire-land) project and … Continue reading Of the Questions of These Recurring
Harry Potter and the Cranial Nerves
Howdy! I guess I should explain the title. No, J.K. Rowling isn't making an odd return to the world of witchcraft and wizardry. Yours truly is exploring the brain, head, and neck in gross anatomy. (For any newcomers to this blog, I'm a current first year physical therapy student bogged down in the joys of … Continue reading Harry Potter and the Cranial Nerves
Guest Post- Michael Gunter
Howdy! I asked a good friend of mine and fellow writer, Michael Gunter, if he'd be interested in doing a guest post. Below is the fruit of his labors. I also highly recommend that you take the time to check out his blog. He's got some great stuff over there as well as a tremendous … Continue reading Guest Post- Michael Gunter
The Mountain Baron
Howdy! I should be studying but it is proving difficult as I only want to work on one of my latest stories that I affectionately call "MacDuffy". Ok, that's only because I don't actually have a name for it yet, but whatever. Since I can't set aside however long I want to immerse myself into … Continue reading The Mountain Baron
