From Chronicles of the Varian Empire – The Left-handed Warrior, out on Smashwords and Kindle! This scene follows last week’s post. The journey to Xendaria was uneventful. They didn’t meet any bandits, but Winged Liam’s talk kept them on edge. He was very talkative for a Sila and he wasn’t even a Singer, but a [...]

Sunday Excerpt – CVE2
From Chronicles of the Varian Empire – The Left-handed Warrior, out on Smashwords and Kindle! Big wings flapping disturbed their conversation and they looked up. A Sila was gliding towards them against the sun. He touched down and folded his feathery wings as the horses stopped to snort at him. “Good morning,” the Sila came [...]

Sunday Excerpt
Because Six Sentence Sunday doesn’t bring that many visitors to this blog, because six sentences is really very short, and because I’m late with the latest release, I will do a Sunday Excerpt – including the past six sentence Sundays. So here’s the whole scene from Allan de Sayek (OK, it misses the very end, [...]

Six Sentence Sunday
Continuing from last week, Chronicles of the Varian Empire – The Spell. *** “Welcome to the Varian Empire,” Brendan said. “Empire?” Desiderio’s heart sank and he stared at Brendan as if he were from another world. “Yes, year 50 to be exact. It used to be a kingdom. Half a century ago.” *** Chronicles of [...]

Six Sentence Sunday
From my latest release Chronicles of the Varian Empire – The Spell – Desiderio discovers what the spell did to him. *** “Vittore, what’s going on?” he exploded, bringing a smile to that Brendan’s lips. “You’re not when you think you are.” Desiderio scratched his head. “This is Havenstock Castle, right?” “Yes,” Brendan grinned. “But [...]

Happy New Year, Sunday visitors, blog regulars and any casual drop by! Welcome to the last bit of BoI – Earth, and the fourth main character, Thea… *** The Marquis thought if a woman had been trained as a warrior, she might as well do a man’s work. And Thea was well versed with all [...]

Six Sentence Sunday – TSK1
As you seem to enjoy The Slave very much, here’s a last snippet from that story. This time it’s her point of view of the local king. *** If she had met him back home, she’d have hunted him down; and if she had found him in someone else’s Apartment, she’d have requested him immediately. [...]

Six Sentence Sunday – TSK1
Because the two lovely ladies that stopped by last week wanted more, here’s another six from The Slave. Bekah mentioned they have a Goddess and Kushan objected about the Sect hiding in his own kingdom and adoring a bloodthirsty Goddess. *** “That’s not us,” she assured. “Ours is our mother, literally. Our first queen, Amazonia, [...]

Put your eggs…
At the workshop “Think like a publisher” I’ve jotted down a few interesting points that I will put here for your consideration (feel free to totally ignore me, I’m not your teacher, I’m only sharing my experience, OK?). We’re close to meritocracy in publishing. Good writing will slowly but steadily come up. The more titles [...]

Six Sentence Sunday – TSK1
Hello Sunday visitors and regular readers. Hope the weekend is treating you well. Last May I posted a snippet of “The Slave”, which has now come out again as part of Tales of the Southern Kingdoms volume 1. This continues from those old six. *** “Where do you come from?” he demanded. He had never [...]

My name is Barb, and I'm a writer, sometimes an artist, mostly a world-creator and storyteller of fantasy worlds. I have more than one pen-name and write in more than one genre.
I blog about life, the universe... OK, you can guess I'm a writer, but not Douglas Adams, so I'll leave the Hitchhiker's Guide aside. And no, I'm not going to spam you by only rambling about my books - if you're interested, just go to the dedicated pages, thank you.
This is my blog, about the "creative barbwire" that I am - there's no rose without thorns, right?
Enjoy...-
