Today I want to talk about one of my favorite novels of all time. And considering that this novel is within one of my favorite series’s of all time, I would say that this book is significant in my life. To say that Lord of Chaos, Sixth book in the Wheel of Time Series is one of the greatest
Short stories, were always an enigma to me. A form of medium beyond my grasp. Every time I attempted to write a small scale tale, it grew into a significantly larger endeavor. As this cycle continued, I gave up on the prospect of creating such tales. Until now, that is. Recently, I decided to try again. Perhaps it is

As I have just recently completed the newest Mistborn Novel, Shadows of Self, I have had my mind drawn back to the Kandra, somewhat Humanoid beings that can take on the shape and form of any being that they digest the bones of. The extra twist with these abilities is that due to a combination of immortality and extreme
There are many characters in fiction that I draw inspiration from when I design those of my own, but not all characters are created equally and thus, some characters have more of an effect than others.

In an earlier blog post, I pointed out the necessity of including a glossary in the back of any self respecting Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel. But that is not the only aspect that separates an average series from one that really stands out. For one to really become one with a story, they have to feel like the
I have noticed that an increasing number of Science Fiction and Fantasy Series have set a standard of including a glossary.
