Welcome to the Holes in my Head

I have three main characters in #TalesOfDistantLands - a debut #fantasy novel.

Makaira, an ageing court wizard out of his depth.

Joy, a recently-appointed wizard finding her feet.

Shei, an enbie Chanter (magical bard) who’s seeing where their feet lead them.

Today I finished a sixth short story set in the world of #TalesOfDistantLands - a world inspired by A Wizard of Earthsea and guided by the development of a TTRPG. The short stories will be released early in 2025, the novel and TTRPG will take a bit longer.

In the quiet peace of the morning, I may get a short story kneaded out of my wrinkly grey matter.
A tale of the rise of Dewa of Prive from nobody to Queen of Prive and the Compact.
She’s beautiful, devious but she’s not the villain of the story. That’s a trope I want to avoid.

Today we resumed the #TalesOfDistantLands #TTRPG and the wizards deliberated hard about staying in the idyllic city of Moro while outside the city the low-caste Dalas were forced to toil on pain of death. Even the enticement of an ancient song did not tempt them and they fled the city.

Harking back to 2022 when I completed the journey from Ireland to Barcelona via boat.

To say this journey wasn’t part of a character building epic would be an understatement. My characters in #TalesOfDistantLands spend months at sea, braving storms and witnessing wonders.

Just like I did. #writer
