I was intrigued by how well the riddle’s tone and contents, read through the lens of referring to a travelling minstrel increasingly unneeded by his society, could map into the world of Impressions, and especially the druids’ fate.
Tastes of the Cosmos Release Post and Author’s Note
This is a story which has been told before. My twist on it, if there is a twist to be found, is to present it (mostly) from an alien perspective.
My Niche?
These are stories that aren’t historical fiction, are not set on Earth, but are set in a world very analogous to Earth, with strong inspirations from real history, and with “fantastic” elements which are…I want to say subtle, but that’s not quite right. Tightly integrated might suffice.
Terror of Age Release Post and Author’s Note
There's some regicide, a stolen magic sword, and some flashy sympathy magic, but mostly this is a story about an immortal witch and the way she traps herself in her own mind with the terrors and regrets of centuries of living in the world.

The best wielders of this kind of magic are those who can compellingly spin words into a believable tale, and the more skilled, the wilder a tale you can suggest successfully.

Memories Like Roses Author’s Note and Release
Memories Like Roses is an initial attempt to capture some of those thoughts in story form, to explore the inherent conflict that seems present in translation through the medium of storytelling. Somehow, I doubt it will be my last word on the subject.
A Writing Diversion
I took a break to work on a different novel. No, that’s not a joke, but it is an accident.
Character Distinctiveness
I’ve dug into writing Rogue Planet in earnest…which meant realizing that I needed to take a step back and figure out a better way to manage the extensive cast.
