This is where I finished my Archers of St Sebastian series 🏹
— I started it in notebooks in the mall kiddie area while watching my twins play 😅
Mini frig, massive St. Sebastians (used on my covers!), an insane Orestes (for sympathy), & a big 'plot board' for inspiration!

I'll read anything if the premise intrigues me (& I always do the 'look inside')
As for what genre I write in...I just write books. I know—amateur!
But amateur = one who writes for the sheer love of it, so I don't mind!
What genre, for example, is this?!🤔

KINGS & QUEENS

My Archers of St Sebastian series takes place in a fictional principality that is nominally under the control of the Holy Roman Empire, but practically an independent state, so ... no kings or queens! As Gilles reminds us ⬇️

In the Archers of St Sebastian, my Journeymen are obsessed with William Tell ... the arrival of a crossbow inside their traditional longbow archery guild sparks a debate that gives rise to one of my favorite episodes in the whole series:
the so-called "Tell Shot"

A fav line? Choosing one feels both daunting & damning!
+ most of my own that I like aren't particularly 'good,' just things that amuse me (& require context) — e.g,
I'm rather fond of this, from Squires:

"I really wish I hadn't eaten that egg."

So I'll share this one:

🖤BLACK🖤 is for ...
... Taran's color (all the Journeymen mark their arrows, & their competition regalia is a matching color; their squires naturally wear the same color, hence Remy's cloak)
... for *SPOILERS*
...& in Squires, for THE BLACK DEATH🐀

For me, the No. 1 most useful writing tool is a pad & pencil!

No 2 is a toss-up b/w Canva & Vellum, which I adore!
Formatting one's book is SO easy & you can easily add illustrations/personalized chap headings,
+ see what your text will look like in all formats⬇️
