Writing Journey
I wanted to write a novel for many, many years. Even with my passion for history, I struggled to get beyond even a few pages in writing a historical fiction novel. With historical fiction, I felt like any character I created would just be inserted into a tale that had already been richly told.
I needed the challenge of telling a new tale – one full of its own wondrous, brave, and devious characters.
Envisioning a new place … Ardalencor … recharged my creativity and unleashed the freedom of possibility. I hope you enjoy In Times of War: A Tale of Ardalencor.
I’m currently writing the second book in the Ardalencor series.
