Recently, a Luthiel’s Song reader asked me to answer a few questions for her gifted program school project. For my part, I was delighted to pitch in. As I was working on the answers, I began to think that they might also be helpful to other writers or just useful to those interested in the craft. In my opinion, there are probably as many ways to become an author as there are authors. Regardless, I’ll be sharing some of my experiences in the following paragraphs. I hope they help you! (more…)

Dear friends, we have finally settled on a title for the third installment of the Luthiel’s Song series — The Nightmares of Winter!

In Nightmares, Luthiel’s adventure continues along a very dark and dangerous path. The title, I feel, is apt for a story that takes a plunge into darkness.

(SPOILER ALERT!!! IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE WAR OF MISTS, DON’T READ BELOW THE FOLD!!!)

Hey guys! Just wanted to say thank you for the warm welcome and fantastic visit yesterday. I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend and that those of you who picked up a copy of Luthiel’s Song are enjoying it! In any case, I won’t make you wait any longer. As requested, here is the poem written to the girl in Algebra class:

What feeling!
Once you struck me with your eyes!
Is what I see as true, as pure?
Or is a dream denied?

Dare I to speak?
Or even whisper?
Can I touch the feeling?
No!
Yet rather would I stand here dazed,
Than to awaken from believing!

Is what I see a dream?
Or dare I ask you — is it true?
For what your eyes were telling me,
Is simply that,
I love you.

Best wishes to all! Hope you enjoy!
