An Update on my SPFBO 8 Entry… Well, it’s not really an update, as I’m still waiting to hear from the review team that has The Moon’s Eye. But I’ve had so many people ask how the competition is going that I felt obligated to post something. As of the writing of this post, the […]

You’ve been introduced to the main characters, the gods, the Councils of Magic, the non-human species… But I haven’t talked about the side characters. Every […]
