Bronwyn Traugott — Sweetheart of the Temple Elsbireth

Jan 11 2020

Early History As the only daughter of her parents, Bronwyn enjoyed a privileged position as a child. The wealth of her family wrought a degree of comfort that not many Tamarians enjoyed, enabling her to experience a carefree childhood. Since her three brothers were all much older, she spent most of her time as a young girl in adult company. Bronwyn developed neighborhood friends to replace sibling relationships, often choosing those who felt isolated and left out as companions. She…

Kira and Algernon: Twins of Trouble

Nov 24 2019

Kira and Algernon are exceptionally close, even for siblings. Overview Kira has a foul mouth and Algernon angers easily.

Overview Some characters are easier to write than others. Brenna presents a challenge for me because she’s a woman, she comes from a culture that honors individualism to a far higher degree than is the case with my own, and her femininity has to shine through in spite of her fighting skill.

Cover Revisions

Aug 30 2019

I have been busy updating covers for my first three novels. After looking at what other sci-fi / fantasy cover artists have done, I thought, “I can do that, too!” It’s a lot of work to change covers, but have a look, and tell me what you think.
