Hello World!
Time to introduce myself over here as well. I’m a fantasy writer, world builder, Illustrator, engineer with a soft spot for old technological inventions.
Put together this becomes the world of “the Soul Purpose” - where science and the soul collides.

Do you like #RPGs? #Highfantasy? #Steampunk?
How about a story set in a dark, complex world, with characters doing their best to find light as they question the very foundation of society.
Take a look at the Venn diagram and blurb to see if this is for you. 😉

It’s mine, my own, my prrrrecioussss!

Finally received my copy of Tom Shippey’s translation of Beowulf to expand my collection. Remember, #bookSky us authors were always readers first. 😊
And for anyone curious about the origin of #fantasy I’d suggest giving #Beowulf a go.

I’m an engineer at heart. I love Venn diagrams.
Just sayin’.

So, I thought I’d try a new approach to reach readers of #fantasy mixed with early industrial era technology.

Those who enjoy rich worldbuilding and a multilayered plot. What do you say, #booksky

Tonight’s doodle from my #fantasy #steampunk Hunting Light: Ionia Habrenne. 36 years old. Imperial general. Forced to become a reluctant ally of Caeles and Attilio when she finds herself on the same mission.

Eleventy-one thousand words in my manuscript for the sequel to Hunting Light.
Worth celebrating 🤘😊
Will likely find some more superfluous ”that”s to tighten it up further.
But right now, I’m a Hobbit.

Time for a change of seasons.
Hunting Light looks as good backed by autumn leaves as it did among the spring flowers.

Between the covers:
A rich world blending #fantasy with #steampunk and layers enough to make an ogre jealous.

To order two more copies of #beowulf (Beowulves?) when already owning three different translations… is that normal?

Asking for a friend.

(It’s me…. I’m the friend 🙈)

Reading tip:

Karin Boye, Kallocain
George Orwell, 1984
Margaret Atwood, a Handmaid’s tale

Any history book on the rise of H*tler

Come on people, we’re better than this. We have to be. I want the part about totalitarianism in the books I write to be the fictional part. Not the hope!

Watching Rachel Maddow’s interview with Kamala Harris.
Two strong women talking absolute sense. An everyday thing, right. Yet I feel like someone who’s been lost in the desert and finally found water.

That says a lot about the state of the world right now.

Editing is getting to me.
Discovered three closely placed ”sat” yesterday night - and am now this >< close to change on into ”neatly placed his buttocks on the seat” from frustration.
I also had nightmares about my published book. Dreamt I opened it and discovered misspellings and lousy grammar. 😬

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

I’m writing a political intrigue in “the soul purpose”-series that’s a little to grounded right now. I write fantasy. It shouldn’t feel this real.

I wish all our European leaders good luck in trying to control the 🍊toddler. For all our sake.

Imagine a world where the life essence of the planet manifests as droplets of shining light.

Imagine that one of those droplets becomes part of your soul, arriving to join with you eight days after birth. That droplet is your kai.

“Huston, we have a problem.”

Apollo 13 is one of my comfort movies (along with Twister, Contact, and the Martian).
Today I watched it in honour of Jim Lovell.
