Well, if you’re looking for short, I’ve got a 38-page novelette on the docket. It serves as a quick, punchy introduction to my Faumen War Chronicles series for those who want to dip their toes into my work.

Bro’s like “Control this, bit*h!” 😂

That it is!

Don’t be fooled by his dapper appearance, either: There’s a fiercely protective and cunning lion hidden under that fancy vest!

Favorite ship:

Not gonna lie, but Veldandi and Osvald are far and away my top pair.

They’re so adorable with each other & while they do have their struggles, they’re just as determined to make things work. Also, they make a lovely sassy x charming pair!

Shipping With Others:

I haven’t actively shipped any of my OCs with those of another author.

However, I wouldn’t be opposed to a collaborative project where my OCs interact with someone else’s somehow.

Who knows what romance may bloom in that situation… 😏

Creation Process:

My main concern is finding a niche or role the OC fills in the story. From there, I have to decide on how they can best fit that role.

This includes figuring out their strengths, weaknesses, personalities, & abilities.

Only after that do I decide on their names, race, etc.

Reason for Making OCs:

Besides the fact that it’s fun as hell? Obviously, my books & stories all need a cast of characters to fill them up and make things happen.

After all, what’s a book without any characters to speak of?

Favorite OC Design:

I’d have to say Lysander is my favorite design so far. I’m super hyped to get a character sheet done for him at some point in the future.

As a mix of the Norzen (cat) & Hyuljan (seal) tribes, he will definitely have a unique look when he’s finally revealed! 😏

Favorite OC:

As of right now, the top spot is still firmly held by Veldandi. I absolutely adore this sassy little spitfire!

Newest OC:

This honor goes to Jakov, a serial killer who serves under bandit leader Garnet as her vicious lieutenant.

Wielding a chromium sword immune to being affected by Origin magic, Jakov is ruthless, cunning, & has no inhibitions restraining him.

At 61 years old, Caston is the oldest OC to make in official appearance in my writing thus far.

He doesn’t let his age slow him down, though, as he still remains a respected sellsword able to contend with fighters less than half his age

The series is basically a slice-of-life about a house husband cat and his lazy owner. It’s rather funny 😆

The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today.

Despite the title, it’s actually a very wholesome and adorable show. Still praying it gets a second season approved.
