Bring on the Fall Giveaway: FORFEITED

While censorship is comparatively new to the modern-era faithful, history reveals that the battle to control and suppress the Scriptures has been raging for millennia. 

Set in a fantasy realm, FORFEITED takes readers into the heart of one family's continuous struggle for freedom to read their sacred Scriptures.




"Legendary creatures have emerged from ancient realms to stalk mortals. Words, long forgotten, are spoken for the first time in a thousand years, and the soul of an ancient forsaken empire is stirring to life. One family has been entrusted with a treasure that endangers all who possess and understand its mysteries—no one is safe.



More than a thousand years after the fall of the Syvlande Empire, a humble cleric, Brother Davin has escaped his order with a forbidden book—the ancient Rone’en. As Davin translates the sacred texts, terrifying truths emerge, defying the realm’s spiritual stranglehold over its faithful. The lives of all who accept the Rone’en’s sacred words are forfeited—including Davin’s cherished pupil, Julaiin Valo-Treor."


Dear readers, thank you for all your encouragement and support while I've written this series. I hope you enjoy the story of Julaiin's family!

Brewing Up New Ideas

Calming? Not exactly.

NOTE: Don't be deceived by the tranquil pink tea in my cup. It's Angel Falls Mist tea, which inspired the revered tisane Serena brewed just before her epic clash with *unnamed villain* in Queen.

[Post Begins]
This evening, I completed the first draft of book one in The Forsaken Empire series. Finally! Celebrate with me!

It's been an unexpectedly tough write--one of my longest ever--and I'm counting on considerable trimming and polishing during my second draft. The manuscript currently measures a hefty 133,358 words. Yes, it's a new personal record that deserves to be shaved down to a manageable size.But I'm pausing for tea and a day off.

To allow ideas to brew.

Not only do I need to think through the cuts and revisions I've been pondering, but I need to consider a possible prequel novella that sneaked into my dreams just before I woke up two days ago.

Do I seriously want to take on a novella in the midst of a new series? Would you?
 
Hence the tea and a day off.
