It’s Character Wednesday! ✨ This week we’re meeting Wyett. Quiet, patient, and the kind of person who listens before he speaks. Read more about him on my Substack. 🤍

I hate to tell you this.

Those young people in your house?

Only a few days into summer holidays?

They’re bored already.

Give them something to read.

Something with dragons — but different dragons.

Something that feels like fantasy until you realize how much of it is reality.

The Draconim series: dragons, climate, courage, and young people who refuse to look away.

Day 15 of editing and rewriting my novel for the second draft. I haven’t been very active lately, as I’ve been so busy with school. But I’m back :)

I'm working on something which I hope to announce in the next few weeks.

What I will say is:

- It's #fantasy based
- Has a book cover
- Announcing it depends on how edits go but I'm almost there. (I think).

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is GROUP. The King hasn't been able to locate Ted during waking hours so now is hunting him in his dreams. Fortunately Ted has a friend he didn't know about. #yafantasy #bookqw https://www.benjeapes.com/index.php/the-comeback-of-the-king/

Shattered Ice is out today.

A YA environmental fantasy about northern ice, disrupted migration, water, wildlife, dragons, grief, courage, and hope.

It is written for young readers who know the future should not be negotiated without them — and for the parents, teachers, librarians, and climate-minded readers who still believe stories can help them face it.
