I started a 5th story for #Raven+Bear. This prompt was from my sister-in-law who requested, and I quote, "how about a princess but she's not a princess".
🎭
This one is going to be so silly! So buckle up for this one!

For this #WIPSnips I have an excerpt from The Lake Hopper, my fourth story in #Raven+Bear. I'm really proud of this fight and the full scene is super cool. The monster is based on llamhigyn y dwr from modern Welsh folklore. Feel free to ask questions!

I'm Bramble, my WIP is Raven & Bear, a collection of stories which feature lots of post-apocalyptic gallantry.

Each one follows Sir Corbyn & Princess Ata on various quests as she learns to be a knight. Feel free to subscribe or ask questions!

If you want to cry, you can look up the story of that hero.

This #WIPSnips comes from Proof Heraldic, my second story in the #Raven+Bear collection. This is a real place in Wales and it's story is an interesting (if recent) part of Beddgelert's local folklore.

I don't have "dominant" for this #WIPSnips, however it's safe to say Queen Ifon dominates the scene, the story and anything she wants. Although there is no magic in #Raven+Bear I do write some characters as though they were, to emphasise their power. Excerpt from - The Knightbane's Prize.

Safe to say, it's their favourite people. This is the first thing Ata learned to write. I love surrogate parent / child stories.

It's been great, I'm cooking on a fight for The Lake Hopper. After that I just need to write a conclusion and I'm done. Seriously, I'm very proud of this scene. It's simple, but the best ones usually are. Have this little excerpt, as a treat.

So hear me out with this #WIPSnips from The Lake Hopper. Keeping something implies that you think it belongs to you. I love writing #Raven+Bear because I get to throw in random little twists which provide a little depth to characters my characters. Ata is a great example of that.

For this #WIPSnips I'll give you the number twenty-nine from Caer y Môn. This scene is so cute because the first thing Ata ever writes is her & Sir Corbyn's names side by side. Its also fun because you can tell the characters speak Welsh based on this alphabet.

This #WIPSnips comes from Caer y Môn, my third story for #Raven+Bear. I often struggle with dialogue but this conversation is the beating heart of the story. The advice Sir Myrddin gives is very important for us all to learn.

I wanted to ask, what style of cover do you want for your books?

Personally, I'm a huge fan of some of Steve Watson's covers. Although Darrell K. Sweet's covers also go super hard!

This style of art would go so hard for #Raven+Bear!

So, I'm going to have to wait 20 years for this. But Ros Watt is my choice for Sir Corbyn. They were in a production of Macbeth already, which is experience I feel would serve him well.

"SIR CORBYN HAS *RGY WITH GENDER-QUEER POLYCULE!"

Yeah, I've made him suffer enough, he gets to have some fun in The Lake Hopper. This is such a silly little part of the story. Mostly inspired by my partner desperately wanting him to get laid.

Edited most of Caer y Môn, got two pages left.

So, #Raven+Bear is progressing nicely I've just got a lot of other stuff on my back at the minute contributing to burnout.

If you don't love Ata already by the way, you better prepare to.
Guess who's learning to read!

This is my #WIPSnips for "Impede". It's a hard one for my stories but I do describe the forest of this island like a prison.

#Raven+Bear is inspired by Welsh history with this referencing the druids of Ynys Môn. It's very spooky, hope y'all enjoy!

I am happy to say, that part 2 of The Lake Hopper is done!
🐸
I feel a conflicted about it, I think it's definitely one of the sillier and less serious moments but my partner loves it.
🤔
I'll post it here, if y'all think it's alright then let me know.

People want one thing*, and it's disgusting.

A 52 year old knight from a post-apocalyptic Wales, who amazing surrogate father to a child he saved.

This excerpt is from my WIP, The Lake Hopper. Yes, there's a polycule who are all down-bad for this old man. Let him live!

The beauty of #Raven+Bear being is that I can have months pass between each adventure. I intend to have many characters from old stories pop back up.

The cutest set up I have for this comes from my second story Proof Heraldic, where Nim is mentioned.

This #WIPSnips is an excerpt from Proof Heraldic which you can listen to on youtube. This story delves into the history of the Order of Branwen as Ata learns more of Cambria's tragic past.

I hope you enjoy it!
