    Temples, Prayers and Piety

    In some religions, God is presented as vengeful more than loving, and humanity is often considered sinful. Growing up Catholic, for much of my life, I feared getting in trouble, and if I did the wrong thing would go to hell. I used some of that experience in my book creating the Iosan faith in...

    Temples, Prayers and Piety

    The main character (a boy) in the first book of my series has gone to chapel. But at the start, less so because some of the elders emphasize Deu (God) as a judger rather than one of love. Later, when his healer teacher helps him escape to another land, he occasionally attends services of another...

    Book Signing

    I hear you Prince of Spires. So far, my autograph is a little different for each book. I'm certain after I sign a few more, I'll come up with an autograph that is pretty standard. My last name is fairly lengthy.

    Thanks, A.E., I'll let my brother-in-laws sister know. I always want to support new writers, regardless of the genre. Thanks again.

    Forums for children's books

    Hi everyone. I hope it's OK to post this here. After sharing my fantasy novel with my brother-in-law's sister, and telling her about this group, I wonder if you know whether there are similar forums for writers of children's books.

    Book Signing

    After having signed a few books recently, felt tips are better than ink pens. They make it stand better. Initially, I was using pen. Also, I'm also discovering that I have to develop an autograph signature. Since I use my real name, not the one I use on official documents, I'm conscious of not...

    First Book! Looking For Thoughts!

    FoxDen, I like your storyline, too. When someone kills a soul and absorbs it, I assume they don't have two souls now jut one but gaining the benefits of the other soul. I wonder if there should be negative consequences for that action. Perhaps, it's not even noticed at first, but down the line...
