Since my artist friend sketched up a few more images of my creatures, I’m sharing them here with blurbs like last time.

Akarriden and Spirit Blades
The world of Halci is home to a variety of magics, each of which lend themselves differently to the practice of crafting magical weapons. While the most unusual might be the akarriden blade, the others bear mentioning if only for comparison.

Influences: Nine Inch Nails (and other Industrial/Synthpop)
I have to admit that only some of my influences are book-based. I love books, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes a song provides so much more inspiration than a block of prose, so I really can’t leave this side of things out. And since Nine Inch Nails has just announced another album, it seems like a good time to talk about Mr. Reznor a bit.
Influences: The Legend of Drizzt
Time to talk about a series that I started reading when I was around twelve, and am still reading today. Jeez, Bob…
Influences: The Dragonlance Chronicles
My good friend Erica Dakin has been posting about some of her literary influences recently, so I decided to write a bit about my own, as I’m low on story-based content at the moment.
Whereas she posts about inspirational authors, though, I’m going to have to post about individual works or series, because I find I’m a lot more faithful to characters than I am to writers.
My first identifiable influence is easy, because it’s what got me into standard fantasy in the first place: The Dragonlance Chronicles.
Halion Critter Overview
Back to posting content. Not a ton, since I’ve started the final edit for book 2, but some details on the animals and monsters to be found on Halci.

Cover Process #4 — Complete!
So. I just pressed the ‘Publish’ button on the Kindle Direct Publishing page for my first book, The Light of Kerrindryr. It says it will take about 12 hours for the book to be entered in the database. Therefore, to prevent myself from passing out due to a combination of excitement and terror, I’m going to show off the last pics of the cover-creation process.
