Also, be sure to check out these great reviews of Starfire:

From ChristianBookReview.com:
"Perhaps I'm just showing my inner geek too much, but part of me thrills at figuring out which dinosaurs certain characters are based on. Some are obvious, with obvious names; some not so much. And combining dinosaurs with "ancient" sci-fi technology, mystical prophecies, and supernatural enemies... pure genius." Read the full review »

From the Novel Teen Book Review Blog:
"Starfire was a completely surprising story. I would have never thought I’d like a story about dinosaur people. But Rathe is a fun character to read about. He is practical and tough and easy to relate to. He prefers to make his own path in life and can’t see how “some mixed-up, homicidal god could lay out a better track” for his life than he could himself. " Read the full review »

Hey S-Man (love the legend, can't wait to read Brandilyn's books!)!

I just read your interview over at Where The Map Ends and I have to say that I'm excited about _Starfire_. The concept grabbed me right away. I can't wait to get a copy!

I also like your idea for steampunk v. lasers--sounds like a great read. On my way home from work this morning, I heard a song that I think would make a great theme song for a movie or TV series based on this idea: Skillet's "Invincible."

Congratulations on being published! I'll see you off the map...

Realm Makers 2016 - Final Day - Nerfaggeddon

Image
Captain's Log, Conference Date 20163007. Today was a test of endurance.  Sleep deprivation techniques by an alien mind probe woke me up far too soon, followed by a mild cold. However MedBay prescribed a sustained treatment of DayQuill and Coffee that kept me going, if somewhat in a fog.   The morning started off by attending a spiritual discussion led by the esteemed Steve Laube. This talk centered around waiting on god and asking a single question four ways. What are you waiting for? (A group of beings known as Grammaticals, grew agitated when this question was asked, but they were mollified by a quick reference to an obscure style guide reference). This question was altered to show how the emphasis would change the meaning: 1. What are you WAITING for? - This signified the agony of impatience. A reminder that while we may be in a hurry, God is not. 2. What are YOU waiting for? - Signifying the futility of self-reliance. We stick to our pride and resist putting our l

New Beginnings

So opened up my working document of Downfall and am starting back at the beginning, working through what has been written and smoothing things up.  I always find that the first three chapters are the hardest to write.  I think that's because I'm still getting a feel for exactly who all the characters are and the tone that the novel is going to take.  Plus there is just soooo much foreshadowing to get done, setting up events and ideas that will pay off later. Plus with the sequel I still have a lot of world introduction to do. That combined with dropping in information to remind/inform about the last book makes for a tense balance of giving out just enough information.  Once I get those chapters just right I think the rest of the book will come much faster. As for now, here's my current first line: “The Hand of Surka has spun the shroud that envelops our world to proclaim that our return to Shenkai is near.” If you have read Starfire, what is your biggest hope for t

My Writing Corner

Image
It's hard to believe that it's already been more than two weeks since Realm Makers 2016 ended. It's been a hectic two weeks as well. With the kids starting school and catching up on the back-log at work, my writing hasn't jumped forward quite as quickly as I had hoped. I know a big part of that was because of my "writing space", also known as that pile of junk in the corner. Yep, overly cluttered and surrounded by distractions! It also didn't help that our TV was about two feet to my left, which made it hard to focus when anyone else was playing games or watching shows on it, even if I had my headphones on.  Obviously time for a change. So I packed up the boardgames taking up the shelf-space and shifted my desk so I'd be facing away from the TV.  It's also nice to have some clear space on the desktop now to use for notes or sketching. It's still a work in progress, I need to organize the shelves and bring back in some writing
