[Insolent Lad]

A moderately long-winded post on the forest folk, in and out of my fiction: Satyrs, Fauns—and Pan

 

[Insolent Lad]

Some words on the deities that have shown up (and haven't) in my fantasy writing: The Gods and Infinity

 

[Insolent Lad]

I put up a few thoughts on realism, surrealism, and speculative fiction at my main blog: The Lucky Lad: Forms of Reality in Fiction

 

[Insolent Lad]

Poking my head up from my WIP (a sci-fi time travel novel) to share some thoughts on creating fictional characters: The Lucky Lad: Psychological Traits of Characters

(This could probably fit as well in 'Self Promotion.') I've posted a blog about my two children's fantasy books, 'The Contrary Fairy' and 'Daisy Days,' chapter books for young readers, and an announcement that free PDF versions of both are available for download. All that here: The Lucky Lad: In the Meadow

 

[Insolent Lad]

A blog post on merfolk (mermaids and mermen) and how they fit into my world building here: The Lucky Lad: Merfolk

 

[Insolent Lad]

A few words on a favorite author, Lord Dunsany: The Lucky Lad: Of Dunsany

 

[Insolent Lad]

Every short story I have ever completed is now posted and free to read at Tales by Stephen Brooke whether previously published somewhere or not. This includes both mainstream and fantasy stories. I'll probably write more someday.

I wrote a few words on James Branch Cabell and on the comic fantasy novel: The Lucky Lad: Cabell and Comic Fantasy

Hello. Why have you decided to use Blogspot instead of a worpress site? I think it would allow more freedom to link/sell your books, especially those which are referenced in your blog.

Nice! I really enjoyed this

I wrote up a rather long blog on the underlying worldbuilding of most of my novels and my search for a name for the entire 'mythos': Gods and Wizards: the Annals of Izan

 

[Insolent Lad]

Another somewhat long-winded post on my world-building and a certain portal that has played a major role: The Lucky Lad: The Pacific Gate
As I sometimes do, I put it up at the 'fantasy' blog in my signature too, though I am using it less for this sort of thing.

 

[Insolent Lad]

I wrote some words on Asak, the 'god of evil' who shows up now and again in my fiction: The Lucky Lad: Asak

Golly-gumdrops, it's been a long time since I posted anything here (or was active on this site in general). Anyway, I put up a fantasy short story at my writing blog, one that appeared in a collection a couple years back. I intend to rotate these freebies on a more-or-less monthly basis. 'Stone' may be found here:

Tales
