Anyway, please be a part of this awesome moment and check it out now at the link! It’s approximately ten pages in total, but a heckuva good time. While it’s totally kid-friendly, please check it out for yourself first, as there are some scary moments in it. You’re the parent, after all, and you decide what’s all right for your kids.
No matter what you do, check out the story and give it a rating! Thanks!
Dark Fairy Tales: Inkitt Writing Contest
I’m about to do it. I’m about to make one of the darkest fantasy stories I’ve written. Yet, somehow, it’s still totally kid friendly. It’s a real shocker, but my mum gave me a challenge – to write a story she could read all the way through. For me, that’s hard, but I think this is going to be the one. It arrives June 3rd. Look for “The Little Folk” in the Inkitt Epic Worlds Free Fantasy Writing…

Look for “The Little Folk” in the Inkitt Epic Worlds Free Fantasy Writing Contest! It will bear this image:
I can’t wait for you all to read it! Vote me up as soon as it arrives!
The Toadstool
He thought it was strange how often she talked about the toadstools outside their house. He thought as he drove by, that maybe she was eating as many as she was visiting. But that was before he saw the flutter of wings behind a mushroom stalk, and a brief view of arms, of legs… and of a face peering at him.
Looking Forward [novel blog]
I can’t think of an actually decent post so I’m just going to run with this.
What am I looking forward to most about my book? Because the fact of the matter is I have most of the series planned out at this point. Yes, I’m one of those outlining sort of people, I like to have things planned out well in advance. I already know how book four ends. But that’s not really the point of this blog – this is about me looking forward to what I’m most excited about writing for the series. And this is mainly for those who haven’t seen this stuff before, as I have hinted to most of these in the past.
Battle of the Blades
Later in the series there will be a battle between two sword users of two different styles – the katana and the broadsword. I’m super stoked about this one. They won’t go by those names, as this is a different world and such names are nonexistent. But they are those blades in disguise. I’ve always wanted to see this fight in reality, so why not write it as well? This fight will be put on a more even level, as the broadsword in question is made of pure noggard (one of the big beasts in the series) bone. The reason for the fight happening will make the battle even more intense.
Release the Fairies
They won’t be as involved in the first book, but fairies are going to become a major part of the series. My version of Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairy people in Earth lore, will be making a cameo appearance in the series. It will be in a very… uncouth… fashion. Still, I am beyond excited for you all to see it.
King of Pirates
A certain book in the series will take use of the countries’ shape, and will be hitting the high seas. Watch for pirates and pillagers, cannons and cutlasses, bombs and buccaneers, sails and… sailors… I’m running out of ideas here. Basically, it’s going to be awesome, because this time the pirates have a trick up their sleeves. And no, it is not a sword. But there will be swords! There will definitely be swords. And guns. And a lot of other weapons pirates should probably not have.
The Last Battle
This should probably be obvious, but there will indeed be a last battle. It’s cliche, but it’s also a lot of fun. And this one will be extra special, because something that isn’t quite as cliche is going to happen. I really want to explain, but I can’t. I just can’t, people. It makes me so sad. But trust me, this last battle will quite literally be… earth-shattering.
That’s all I have for tonight. But there will be more. Yes, there will be more. And to keep up with it, you have to follow this blog! Or just follow me on Facebook, that works too. Unless you already are. Then just stay where you are.
Unicorn Horns and Evil Fairies
I got bored and, after seeing Tumblr accounts like “JustFairyThings”, I decided I would do something of my own like this. But why stop at fairies? Why not show the world the real version of all these creatures they have idolized for so long? Let’s have some fun, and we’ll learn some things along the way!
Don’t worry, I won’t ruin all of your day. I’ll also tell fun things that you probably didn’t…

Don’t worry, I won’t ruin all of your day. I’ll also tell fun things that you probably didn’t know! It’s just a fountain of useless but awesome information! So, if this interests you at all, give us a follow! I know I am.
Yeah, I’m lame. I’m following myself with my other account to start off. You can tell I’m kinda prideful of my work.
