Story timeline: When do these books happen, anyway?

Posted on June 16, 2020March 4, 2021 by Beth
Someone recently asked  how the books in the Westkings Heist series line up with the books in the Snakesblood Saga, since they take place in the same world. Since it only takes a few minutes to explain, I decided to do so! Maybe later, I can make some cool graphics… Read the rest...

To Steal the Crown cover reveal and the end of NaNoWriMo 2019

Using dice for writing books

Posted on September 17, 2019September 16, 2019 by Beth
Through the month of August, I shared some photos of my modest dice collection on social media. I never had an opportunity to gather dice like my friends; living where I did, there was absolutely nowhere to get them, and I’m a tactile person, so I like to see and… Read the rest...

Naming the cities

Posted on August 21, 2018August 14, 2018 by Beth
I’ve been working on my world a little at a time. One of the most annoyingly difficult things to do was name all the important cities. Though I turned to my favorite name generator for some assistance when I got stuck, there were a few things I wanted to accomplish… Read the rest...

Magic items (Building a fantasy series, part four)

Posted on July 31, 2018July 31, 2018 by Beth
Magic items tend to be staples in most fantasy, and weirdly, they never played that big of a part in stories I’ve written before. There are a few important ones, but no epic quests that involve picking them up along the way, which means Spectrum Blade will be a little… Read the rest...
