The reason that Chosen of Silver is on hiatus is because I’ve been working on a different novel series that isn’t quite as complex called Aspect Knight. It’s an upbeat, action romp about a street hustler who wants to become a magical warrior and the eventual leader of the city she lives in.  I’ve begun to post chapters on Mondays and Thursdays on Royal Road–a free story sharing site I’ve mentioned before. What I like about Royal Road is how easily you can interact with me and other readers, not to mention how you can change font, background color, etc. Hope you check it out!

In addition to my free shorts, I decided to include a bit of fanfiction on my site. Fanfiction often gets a bad rap in the writing community, but I think it’s a wonderful learning tool because there are plenty of important writing muscles you can work when you don’t have to worry about creating characters and locations from scratch, much like painting a still life instead of a brand new image from your mind.

You can find my two fanfiction stories, both Warhammer inspired, here.

When I lived in Australia, I worked as a masseur in bars and clubs (I swear!), and I got paid after the massage based on how much people thought it was worth. As funny as it may sound, I actually preferred this setup: some people tipped a lot, while others didn’t have much to spare or didn’t want to tip, but they all still got to have a massage.  It felt…fair to me, and I liked giving.

This principle is what drew me to Royal Road, a free story sharing site where people can support the author if they like what they’ve read. This was right up my alley, and I’ve really enjoyed using the platform so far–so much so in fact I’ve decided to cross post my now free short stories here, too!

I’ve begun posting my epic fantasy series, Chosen of Silver, on the web serial site Royal Road!

Update: This project is currently on hiatus as I focus on finishing book one of Aspect Knight. That said, the first arc of CoS, which is around 200 pages, has been uploaded to Royal Road, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I’m co-host of another YouTube channel called Lit vs Genre where we discuss, you guessed it, literary and fantasy novels! You can join us as we work our way through the first book of Wheel of Time.

I now have a YouTube channel with my fellow writing group members where we discuss various aspects of writing.

That’s right! Sign up for my mailing list and you’ll receive a free sudden fiction fantasy story.

P.S. If you’re wondering what “sudden fiction” is, it’s bigger than flash but smaller than a traditional short story. Basically, just enough time to have some fun =)

I just finished putting together my three shorts into one volume, which I’m very excited about. Unlike my individual publications, it starts with some background information about each of the pieces:

Musings: Volume 1

As the title says, my third entry in the Musings series is now live on Amazon:

The Crown

Next up will be a bundle of all three.

I finally bit the bullet and self-published two short stories on Amazon. And, if all works out, I should have the third one up soon!
