I’m back! Got some more writing done, and I’ve invented a system where a friend of mine who’s also a writer and I both have to send each other at least one new chapter each Saturday (punishment for not doing so is 3 chapters due the next Saturday), so I should be finished my draftContinueContinue reading “Songscape music”

Character designs from Seascape
Another author recommended DollDivine.com on her blog as a way to visualise characters. I was intrigued and checked out the site, and found it excellent. Quite a bit of spare time over the next couple days was spent in designing some of the main characters and a couple minor ones from Seascape. If you like toContinueContinue reading “Character designs from Seascape”
Two cover choices
Well, after seeing all the potential, I’ve come to the decision that I am indeed going to reboot Starscape’s cover. I will likely make a sort of event thingy of it towards the end of the winter, shortly before Seascape comes out. Many of you probably saw my post the other day with my projected new design.ContinueContinue reading “Two cover choices”
Excerpts from Seascape #3: NO! Not an excerpt!
Not an excerpt, but a whole chapter! If you haven’t been reading my blog regularly, then start with Chapter One, then return here to read Chapter Two, in which I introduce Lody, Einur’s sweet little sister, and a number of distasteful persons. You will perhaps notice, if you compare the ending of this chapter with theContinueContinue reading “Excerpts from Seascape #3: NO! Not an excerpt!”
What if I changed the cover? (poll)
For a while now, I’ve been considering doing a makeover of Starscape’s cover. This morning I had some spare time and did some fiddling around on Photoshop, coming up with this design. I have to admit I love it. But your opinion on this is, in many ways, more important than mine. Do YOU think IContinueContinue reading “What if I changed the cover? (poll)”
Excerpts #2 – The Legend of the Klendil Caves
“Once upon a time there was a maiden of Selotan who was fair beyond words, and her hair fell flaxen to her knees. She was called Klenora, and her father’s neighbour’s son loved her dearly and she returned his love. But when they approached the Illyrië for leave to wed, they were refused. Yet theContinueContinue reading “Excerpts #2 – The Legend of the Klendil Caves”
Excerpts from Seascape – #1
I’m gonna do a series of these little excerpts from my WIP. Behold the first one! This is like my favourite line in the entire story so far…
“Deleted scene” from Starscape (spoilers)
Who doesn’t love a good deleted scene? I know I do – I was more than delighted to discover that my new copy of Jane Austen’s Persuasion included her original ending for the book! The scene below never made it into the final draft of Starscape, but I’d love to share it with you anyways since it still fitsContinueContinue reading ““Deleted scene” from Starscape (spoilers)”
First chapter of Seascape
One moment the skies were clear; the next, rain fled from them in terrified haste. Einur raced for his cave shelter, leaving his sheep, undisturbed by the downpour, still ripping up grass. Reaching the cave, he crouched just inside, shivering – already drenched despite his swift retreat from the open field.
Character Sketch: Einur
Einur Landman is the main character in the book I am now writing (entitled Seascape). This is the character sketch/bio I wrote up for him.
