Rowan L Hendershot (author)

The part of being an indie author they don't warn you about when you start writing:

You have to maintain a social media presence. I seem to have a really hard time doing that AND writing at the same time. Maybe the same brain energy is for both.

I have been out of touch for a while, folks, and I am sorry for that. I Dream of Poppets has completely taken over my life.

Let's look forward to finally finishing writing it!

What's the first sentence of your WIP?

Mine is:

My first appointment of the day was destined to be my last.

Hey #booksky! I'm here to seek help on a title for a new book. My blog post on my site has a short (non-spoilery) synopsis. Drop a suggestion here or on my blog for your ideas. I'm currently working with "I Dream of Poppets."

I've just printed labels for my first book boxes. It's so amazing and surreal and I HATE tissue paper now.

I spend my days thinking about this book,
I spend my nights thinking about this book.

But the moment I put mind to work, it screeches to a halt. WHY?

“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of words on a page.”

Hello blue folks ! Just poking my head in to note my internet got cut (by a post hole digger) and I’ll be delayed on new posts until Friday!

#booksky People!

I just wanted to take a moment to breath quietly and was hoping some of you would join me. Things are overwhelming and chaotic.

Breathe, then back on the warpath. Whether in writing, life, or the care of our fellow humans, do it with fire and passion.

My new WIP--working title "I Dream of Poppets"--is a story of a world when humans never have to feel their bad emotions. Magical dolls, called poppets, absorb all the unwanted feelings.

What happens when a virus wipes out the poppet population?

What's yours?

And of course, the entire series, really. My other particular favorite was Rilla of Ingleside.

I picked up Last Herald-Mage right after Arrows. Maybe one of these days I'll sit down and pitch a d20 system to her!
