Well...I considered 'Empire: Southern Heat' to be X-rated, mostly because the final novella, 'Aphrodite Games,' had a lot of nudity and sex. (A few characters were pretty much nude or having sex during most of their scenes.) Reviwers though...one called it a series of 'G-rated seductions.'...

Dictionary? Though I also use an English/Latin book.

And this was why I picked up a couple of olde Thesaurus's. Roget's Thesaurus's synonyms for 'Magic' include: sorcery, witchery, glamour, spell, legerdemain, plus mystic, occult, and enchanting. In your case, glamour, legerdomain, and enchantment might be suitable, with legerdemain being...

I have a minor 'Lost Princess' pop-up in 'Empire: Capital' and again in 'Labyrinth War.' The people around this character think she is a noblewoman in hiding, but she was raised in a pirate den by a renegade sorceress, so she has a few tricks. Nothing major, but still... One of the POV...

You still need at least three more reviews to get accepted by the more reputable email newsletter sites. I suggest Goodreads Reading Rounds, Authentic, or Bookroar. In the meantime, I strongly suggest that you delete all unsolicited email/social media offers for book promotions, book clubs, and...

What role does magic play in the story? The Gods of the classical pantheons had mixed portfolios: Zeus was a storm god, ruler, and warrior. Thor was a god of storms and war. Semeter was the goddess of the hunt - and pregnant women. Posiedon was God of the Sea...and horses. These spheres of...

Well, I say I write Dark Fantasy, but there is also a fair bit of Science Fiction mixed in with it. Some reviewers have called it 'Science Fantasy.'

Inspiration is not an issue for me. Finding time to turn that inspiration into stories is another matter.

I have experienced a bare handful of lucid dreams that were inspirational in a grim way, yet utterly exhausting. Often, I'd awaken from them drenched in sweat. In those dreams, I am not 'me,' but instead a grim searcher in a dystopian landscape scarred by pollution, stripped of resources, and...

I did a LOT of Worldbuilding back in my RPG days decades long past. (2nd Edition AD&D.) Way too much worldbuilding. Probably upwards of a dozen, though most were eventually combined into two primary worlds. (Most gamers and authors fail to grasp that planets are BIG.) The driving concept for...

A side project of mine is to read and review a book or three by each of the Mythic Scribes published authors. You are a published author here, so you are on the list. I was a bit distracted earlier this year, so I didn't get to your book then.

I will have to add this one to the 'read-and-review' list...again.

I did that in 'Exiles: Pilgrimage.' One of the characters settled down with her toddler in a human village (the only one for thousands of miles), and spent years there living the quiet life as the toddler turned into a preteen. I covered most of that span in a few hundred words.

The pulp novels date to an era when the first draft was written by hand, and subsequent ones were laboriously typed out. No spell check. No grammar check. One typo, one minor change meant redoing an entire page. Hence, the better authors put a lot of thought into each sentence before writing...
