I read a tweet on the dreaded question we authors are asked, what is your story about? Well since I have three stories, it first is a trilogy and second it is a mythology. If you do not understand the concept of a mythology, then refer to Greek and Roman […]
When I wrote my final book of the trilogy The Chosen One of Allivar – Last Stand of the Living, I wanted to write the largest battle scene possible. Since my story has to do with mortal and immortals, there are two battles taking place. The one we can see […]
