WHITE WOLF SHORT

So, THE GIRL WITH THE SCAR is set to be released soon, though my publisher has not given me an official release date as of yet.

In the meantime, I would like to invite everyone to get a taste of some shorts and a few snippets here and there. Bear in mind that THE GIRL WITH THE SCAR is written from the point of view of Genevieve Solace, a fifteen year-old sheltered girl in the southern planes of Kalarn.

The White Wolf is a $ 0.99 short story that introduces one of the novel’s main characters as he is set to make his move to find the one whom he has been searching. Enjoy!

Should you write the first book and then try to publish, or should you write the entire series first?

This question is a lot more challenging to answer than it seems. I chose to write the entire trilogy before I submitted to publishers. Continue reading →

HOW TO DECIDE NOT TO WRITE A SERIES

The last post explained why I enjoy writing trilogies. This post will explain the disadvantages.

I refer to it as the curse of the trilogy. Many people feel locked into a trilogy, especially if you feel that there is enough for two novels, but not really for three.

The curse of the trilogy is the invisible hand that makes you try to squeeze the juices out of an apple that has already been juiced. Continue reading →
