#PhantastikPrompts 23.6. Teile einen Lieblingssatz aus einer deiner Geschichten.

I had buried my pack leader, I had waded through a mountain of forms and a host of meetings about his will, his assets and his crimes, and worked my way through his phone to deal with jobs he had arranged for us.

Das ist der zweite Satz in "A Wolf's Fury", mein Buch mit Connor (und Ashley). Ich mag ihn, weil er so geballt Connors Überforderung zeigt.

@Firlefanz I don’t understand German very well (even though I was a graduate student in Germany, but they quickly sent me to Switzerland), so I apologize in advance for my imagination running wild - I pictured an interesting #subgenre of #fantasy where knights wielding swords and practicing magic also use cell phones.

But I liked it)))

@dotyk

I don't write that, but if you tolerate gay relationships, Jocelynn Drake's Godstone Saga is exactly like that. Kings, Princes, magic, swords, but also cell phones, SUVs and high-rise palaces. It threw me the first time I tried to read it (she's one of my favorite authors), but I really got into it the second time around.

My quote was from my Wolf Shifter series, which is basically Urban Fantasy, adventure and romance, but not spicy. Also very low magic.

I love your idea, though!

@Firlefanz I respect all kinds of relationships (and in books - even those that might be scary, as my own book proves), so thanks for the advice))

I’ve tried reading urban fantasy, but in my opinion, it’s very difficult to strike a balance there. That is, authors tend to focus more on "elves" than on the specific characteristics of a "Berlin".

Since the reader knows more about the city itself, there’s naturally more empathy that way))

@dotyk

Yeah, I wrote an Urban Fantasy book set in my old home town (wrote that quite a while ago), and I may have assumed too much familiarity with the setting in some chapters.

It helps if magic is fairly low-key in Urban Fantasy. Otherwise, I prefer a full fantasy setting.
