I'm an obsessive Canadian writer and somewhat drowning game design student. I have a series of 12 novels currently in progress, with 8 mapped out in detail, and my first manuscript almost finished.

So, funnily enough, this is actually where Cailean's story comes from. Originally, I'd planned to start the series with Ciara and Adrian, but then I decided that I needed to write Cailean's story as well. That part of the lore is now the setting for the first three books.

Hello, #NovemberWorldbulders! This week’s theme is GOOD and EVIL where we share morality in our fictional worlds. Today's question is about HEROES from the past. Do you have any characters who lived and performed acts of heroism before the main story starts?

What is your character's opinion on fancy parties?
Do they like getting dressed up and glad-handing?
Would they rather stay home in their pajamas?
Are they planning a heist while the guests are distracted?

It wouldn't change much at all. No one in Cailean's world knows what a gun is or how to use it, let alone how to make ammunition for it. So, chances are, it would end up getting thrown into the back of a sledge and forgotten. Cailean prefers his yew and oxrun horn bow anyway.
