Since posting this cover, I did another and have posted it instead.
Wow! All the covers on here look amazing. I don't have the tools to draw digitally so I rely on manipulating images in Photoshop. This is my new cover for the web novel The Forgotten Gemstone. I'm not sure if it will make a difference or not for building a readership, but it feels less aggressive…
[image] This is the ebook/print cover for my book The Forgotten Gemstone. My husband was kind enough to do the artwork. At the time, he was still working with paintbrushes, but he's since moved onto using airbrush. The rest of the design is mine. The textured background is a manipulated photo of on…

Hi Marukon, I subscribed to your novel Tales of Harmony. It sounds interesting. Don't worry too much about mistakes. Like you said, they can be addressed during the rewrite and editing stage. Perfect doesn't exist, so I'm glad to see that you're pushing ahead with this story. My book The Forgott…
I've written two novels from an outline of the entire story, and though it's nice to know I can do it, I prefer doing a rough outline of part of the story (several chapters), writing it, tweaking it, then moving onto the next section. I find when I work this way, my first drafts have only small prob…

When it comes to my pen name, Kit is a nickname for middle name, and Daven is the feminine Welsh form of David, which is one of my all time favourites names for some reason. As for characters, sometimes the name comes to…
Isla would shrug. He’d grunt. And nothing more would be said, at least for a little while.
I wish I had the time to read everyone's response. From what I have read, I detect a repeating theme, one that resonates with me--not fitting in. It's not the reason why I write, but it may explain why I'm always trying to invent other universes to play in. When I was about seven, while reading Mati…
In reference to the first pic, we call that "testing gravity" in our household. 
Hi, my sci-fantasy novel The Forgotten Gemstone is about 120k words long. The writing and editing is completed, but I've only just started uploading it on Tapas as of last week.
This is a great question, and I had to give it some thought. I just finished writing a trilogy of novels, and I have to say that there's a mix of characters I like and ones I don't and others that are better off admiring from afar, like Kaleel the Rex, a cat demon, whose pretty laid back... usually.…
