Hello Blue Sky. I'm not the best at the social media thing, but I guess it is time I get off my old person lawn and figure this shiz out. @author-jpburnison.bsky.social @dreadpiratedash.bsky.social Whatever have you done to the world, bringing me here?😈
1. I was born in Michigan but spent 5 years in Hawaii.
2. I'm a veteran.
3. I currently live in Europe.
4. I am an avid ttrpg player. My favorite is world of darkness, Mage Changeling and Vampire are my three favorites in that genre.
5. I love reptiles.

One of my favorite book series is Gilded Blood, by Rachel Rener.
She is unhinged, and the book series runs the gamut of hilarity, drama, and tears. 10/10 from me, and I promise you will love Bisskiss. IFYKYK
What's your favorite?

“Yes.” She didn’t give him a name.
He waited. Nothing.

What serves as inspiration for you? Movies? Books? Videogames? Walks in the woods at night during a full moon? I can get weirder with the guesses, trust me.
For me, inspiration can be found in almost anything. Even in cleaning.

In the Fell almost everyone has access to magic, but their strength is determined by their eye color which can change as they are maturing, or as they grow old. What sort of 'born' magic do you enjoy?

Quiet writing or background music?
I need music, and often have a 'soundtrack' catered to what sort of scene I am writing. If I don't have background music, my brain just can't get into the scene enough to write it. I live in a soundtrack. How about you?

Magic of the Fell
In the Mountain Fell, a person's magic is determined by the land of their birth - not their ancestry - as well as that of the neighboring lands and those immediately above and below.

The Mountain Fell, or "The Fell" - a large (insanely large) mountain floating in a void that has 3 planes (tiers, really) of lands attached to it. 3 lands per plane. Reaching the other planes, you utilize Fairy Rings - and if you use a wild ring, who knows where you go.

Rise - The Liminal Chronicles
Book Review
I found this book to be fantastically done. The 'redemption' of the main character was very well done, and the humor was fantastic. I absolutely adored when he is found with the old lady - I laughed until I cried!

“That is quite enough of that,” she said, handing the handkerchief to Shiara. “It does nothing constructive, it makes everyone else feel bad, and it is extremely self-indulgent. Drink your cider. You’ll feel much better.” - The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia Wrede.

Who am I?
This is probably the most loaded question in any person's life. Often people say what they do. Author. Mother. Housewife. Executive. Lawyer. (Note, not all of these apply to me.)
But that isn't 'who' we are, is it? It can't be.

I am part of a co-op author group and we have a Plot Mom. We outline. I admit, it took me a while to get used to it. I am by nature a "Pantser" - I write and whatever comes out is what I will work with during edits.
