Just finished “The Prince Without Sorrow” by Maithree Wijesekara. Excellent book. Loved it! #BookSky #books #fantasy

I need to take my copy off the shelf and start reading it!

Jamming out to some Mashrou’ Leila. Making me want to pick up guitar again.

Happy Friday! I’m ready to get some work done this weekend.

I love how my characters and world lore keeps getting deeper each time I look over a chapter.

Thanks for the interest. I’m working on a fantasy novel and currently have ~90k words that I’m now working on restructuring a bit to make it stand on its own—the ultimate goal is to make it the first in a series set in an expansive universe.

Happy new year! Work continues apace! Getting into some major developmental editing this month. After that’s done, the next step will be line editing—cleaning up clunky wording and unclear phrasing. Beyond that… Beta readers? Professional editing? There will be choices to make.

The Second draft nears completion! But of course, I already have plenty of plans for a third.

A bit of lore:

Isedans populate their home continent of Iseda, which is largely isolated from the rest of the world due to its distance across the vast oceans.

They are a bit shorter than humans, usually just four feet tall, and have sharp incisors, long ears, and tails.

“The gods died centuries ago. For some reason, we still fight their wars.”

The Faceless God explores the struggles of finding your own identity, not only as an individual but as a society at large—and the complicated, messy, and even violent process that can be.
