<< Previous |First| Next >> [Wolves Camp | Inviditas 11th, 2525 |Early Morning] Lena woke up to Eldric’s snores ringing in her ears. She opened her eyes to a still-dark room and maneuvered her way out from under his arm. When she’d finally called it a night, he was already sleeping; passed out in his clothes and sprawled across … More The Heart of The Forest 2.11
<< Previous |First| Next >> [Wolves Camp | Sagacitas 8th, 2525 |Midday] Lena stirred with the creak of her front door. The invading footsteps were cautious, but familiar. Of the few people who would venture into her cabin unannounced, Eldric’s heavy boots stood apart from Dani’s much lighter footfall and the pitter patter of Sarah’s sandals. Lena was surprised … More The Heart of The Forest 2.08
<< Previous |First| Next >> [Unnamed Village | Lunaris 28th, 2525 | Sundown] The sun bathed the small village in a red-orange glow. Lena kept a watchful eye on her sister running around with some of the local children. It was no surprise that she managed to chip away at their shyness over the course of an afternoon. Dani … More The Heart of The Forest 2.07
Once again, and thanks for coming back for another issue of The Plotstains Perspective. This time, I’d like to talk about the way we perceive our writing compared to how people outside our circles sometimes perceive it. In addition, I will discuss a new way in which you can read Shadows Rise. On with my … More The Plotstains Perspective 2.06
<< Previous |First| Next >> [Valcrest Forest | Lunaris 27th | Midday] In the depths of the forest, the golden rays of sun penetrated the thick canopy, bathing the icy earth in shimmering light. It was a gloriously sunny day. Dani woke Lena before sunrise, a rolled up map under her arm, and several suggestions of routes that would … More The Heart of The Forest 2.06
Hello, and welcome, again to another great (and late) issue of the Plotstains Perspective. Now, as always, if you haven’t read the latest chapter of Shadows Rise, go there now to avoid any spoilers. Today’s issue should be light on the spoilers. In fact, just allow me to whinge a for a couple hundred words … More The Plotstains Perspective 2.05
<< Previous |First| Next >> [Wolves Camp | Lunaris 24th, 2525 | Afternoon] Dani’s footsteps fell heavy on the path to the armory. On some distant, level-headed part of her mind, she understood that Lena was probably right. Whatever Wayne had said, buying into provocation was never a smart move. If she were the Alpha, accepting that spar would … More The Heart of The Forest 2.05
<< Previous |First| Next >> [Valcrest Forest | Lunaris 14th, 2525 | Mid Afternoon] Dani staggered down the path. Red stained several spots on the back of her tunic. Quickly forming bruises added to existing aches in her muscles. Air from a cold winter breeze bit at her sweat-drenched clothes causing an occasional shiver down her spine. Lena dragged … More The Heart of The Forest 2.04
Hey, guys! This isn’t going to be a thing I do after every chapter, like Plotstains, because I think the odds of me rambling on and giving some sort of spoiler away is tremendous if I do. I like rambling about my characters and the reasons why I do certain things, but… It’s not fun … More Author’s Notes 04/10/2020
Hello and welcome to the third installment of my perspective. I’ve got loads to write about this time. The logistics of a prank, the importance of the reader’s expectations, keeping productive when the world’s stopped working. And of course, we’ll talk about what Lena and Eldric were talking about before they went to torment Lena’s … More The Plotstains Perspective 2.03
