Which is why I elected not to publish the first volume of my series until I had at least a rough draft of the last volume - I *KNEW* there'd be...
'Strong rowers' - pretty much the translation for the name of one of the peoples in the old 'Viking Empire.' For areas with rapids, 'portage...
To me, it sounds superficially similar to the old Viking 'empire' that ruled much of what became Russia via control of the rivers.
I would point out that in flatter terrain rivers tend to meander quite a bit and frequently change their course. Often, this results in long,...
I slipped and dislocated my knee right before I turned twenty. Took months before I could walk normally, and I felt the twinge for years...
With my series, I spend a lot of time going back, tacking in a detail in book 2...then having to tack something else into book 3 or 4 to account...
I wrestled with this issue for a long while. The problem, as I saw it, was that we have Earth, with a convincing evolutionary history as to how...
Well, some of the new exo-planets discovered probably do have a single climate zone, though they are the opposite of what the OP is after - ice...
The original concept was something I didn't need at the time. It was for a science fiction setting and brought with it so many issues I couldn't...
I have to concur with pmmg on this one. I will even go one step further with this question: 'Are two planets really necessary?' Both of the...

did you read it? :)
I might have gone too far with the Rabbits in the novella I wrote for your world. I did scribe a story with issues somewhat similar to those in...
And there goes the 'Eve of Snows' add again. Same one from last time.
I ran into a similar 'time' issue with book 5 of the 'Empire' series, 'Empire: Spiral.' I have one group of characters in one part of the world...
When I first conceived of the 'Empire' series - which I envisioned as four novellas - 30-40,000 words, I made the conscious decision to not...
Reading through this thread, I am becoming more and more tempted to offer my services as a developmental editor of sorts. I like to think I'm...
With the cover art... ...I see a lot of spectacularly good covers for rather mediocre books. I also see way too many 'dramatic pose' covers,...
How to put this... sometimes the story is good enough to override the bad editing and to an extent, even the bad writing. I saw variations of the...
I read a great deal - book a day or close to it, mostly indie stuff. I see quite a few books with double or even triple digit reviews, mostly...
