Soul Taker Secrets - Argument

Teddy's 1000 Lives - Vive Le Roi- PART VI

D’Artagnan and Constance let Porthos sleep for about four hours, knowing he would cause an uproar once he woke up. At this point, Aramis and Athos had taken on the task of finding Edouard. While the regular morning routine in the castle started, the Musketeers desperately tried to find one of theirs. By Midday, Porthos had joined the search troops again. He was in a foul mood and worried…

The Council of Twelve A - Z / R for Raphael

When it comes to writing, with six published books and the seventh in the series in line, I sometimes feel a little bit like I need to keep things in my books a secret, fearfully protecting my stories because I could give away too much to the ones who haven’t read ‘The Council of Twelve’ series yet. But aren’t the background stories, the little details ‘behind the scenes’ the interesting part of…

Does Depression Have Physical Symptoms?

The answer is simple – Yes, it does. It’s fall time; the days are shorter, the air cooler, and the sky a bit darker. Very often, during this time, depression hits hard. Add the upcoming Holiday stress and you have a full-blown attack of ‘I don’t want to – I can’t do that anymore’. But do we all know how and why we feel that way and the symptoms? Not always. People who experience a depressive…

Happy Halloween 2024

In my past few Halloween posts, I wrote about the origin of ‘All Hallow’s Eve’, the legend of ‘Jack-o-Lantern’, and the superstition about black cats. Today I will take yet another path down history lane. Where does the ‘Trick-or-Treating’ come from? Picture courtesy of Rawpixel.com It’s almost that time of year, when kids get into costume and traipse around the neighborhood ringing doorbells…

Self Care For Writers - After Your 50th Birthday

Self-Care For Writers - when you're 50! And that does not mean, that younger authors cannot read it! Enjoy!

Hello fellow authors If we know one thing by now, aging is inevitable, and nothing will stop that process—nope, not even your neighborhood plastic surgeon. Botox is not your best friend, and writing is becoming increasingly fun—so much so that we sometimes forget how to take care of ourselves. By the time you’re 50 years old, there are a few things that you should be aware of: you don’t need…

Teddy's 1000 Lives - Vive Le Roi- PART V

While the queen’s ball approached, the subtle changes in the royal couple’s services were barely noticeable. Chamberlains, servants, even tailors, and wig manufacturers were temporarily replaced by Musketeers. Porthos once, out of pure silliness, slipped into the new tailors’ ice-blue jacket, shoes, and knickerbocker, borrowed another courtier’s wig and high heels, and sailed enthusiastically…

Book - To - Movie Adaption

Lately, I have been discussing books and movies, and a friend admitted he loved the Percy Jackson movies. At this moment, I realized one thing. Despite my wish to have my books turned into movies, like so many other authors, before the outcome ends, like the Percy Jackson films, I refuse to permit anyone to turn my stories into movies. When I read Riordan’s book series, I was enthusiastic. He…

Grammar Rules: That and Which – Written By Melissa Donovan

(This post has been published before on The Story Reading Ape’s blog) on Writing Forward: There’s a lot of confusion about that and which. These two words are often used interchangeably, even though they’re not necessarily interchangeable. Historically, that and which may have carried the same meaning, and some English dialects may allow for that and which to be swapped without affecting the…
