Notes & updates

notes & updates on my stories - News on possible new stories - updated 22/11/25

Okay, I'm going to ramble a little here - some of my stories I started some time ago, some are new. You may wonder why so many stories start without finishing. Truthfully, I hope to finish them all eventually, but it goes like this - I start a story, get so far, and either get stuck, lose interest, or life intrudes. When I get stuck, I tend to leave the story alone for a while, and in the meantime, I start another story, and so it goes. The process repeats. I go back to earlier stories and so on, and I like variety, too! So that's a little insight as to how I go about writing my stories. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else; it's just the way I tend to work. It can be a bit unclear, having so many stories going through your head. In most of my stories, the main character is a heroine. I think I chose a female as the hero because I feel more for the heroine than I would for a male hero. I am more protective of the character. Of course, some of my stories have male heroes, some have both.

"The Princess Ariana" Princess Ariana has completed the editing process, and as we advance to the printing and publishing. I will announce the date as soon as I know

You may have noticed I have a couple of new stories posted - the most recent are "The Hand of Righteous Fire" and "What I Saw Without You." Another couple are "Perla and the Empire" and "The Amulet"
