My love of storytelling stems from a time I would entertain my younger brothers with tales of adventure, based on whatever it was they could imagine.

My love of the written word comes from my mother, an English teacher, who taught me to appreciate the art of storytelling, as much as the storytelling itself.

If you do read something of mine, please leave a review! Always love to hear...The good, the bad, and even the nasty! How else can we learn and write more books YOU want to read?

The first twenty pages.

Recently I started the first draft to my dark fantasy novel: Upon a murder.

As a panster, my plotting is basically is non-existent, so when the newbie writers out there finally stop gasping at the very idea of not having more in depth plans than most military strategists out there, you might ask how I know if an idea is viable without having done some sort of plotting structure.

Frostbird Reborn by Kal Locksley
"⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ 4 / 5

Frostbird Reborn is a slow-burn, character-driven fantasy that leans into identity, legacy, and transformation rather than constant action.

What I appreciated most about this book is its restraint. The story takes its time building atmosphe" Read more of this review »
