Am I doing something wrong? Is Rúan being too … you know, emo and all that for other characters to interact with him? Since every time I try to make him interact with your characters, they get distracted or whatnot.
Is it me who is doing something? Or am I just taking this the wrong way (which I very well might be doing)?

And no. Emo is the best. XD I mean, we have Aydin, Yila, and Quin. And Niarok, although he doesn’t show as much. And now Evie’s in here too. You’re not going over the top in the least. XD

Hi Brian! I’m so sorry I lost touch with you after hearing about your mom. I got caught up in things here at home and haven’t been able to get back on the forum, though that’s not a good excuse.

Thank you, Lily! Prayers are always appreciated. It was tough losing mom. I am still processing it. I am on Story Embers only now and then lately.

It is just that…[Read more]

I will definitely be praying for you. God sees you and knows what you are going through, and I know He will strengthen and guide you as you seek Him. Pour yourself into His Word and you’ll find His comfort.
May He pour out His loving kindness and joy onto you and your family.

Hi Brian! Merry Christmas!
I pray that God will fill your holiday with His peace and comfort; and bless it richly with His love.Blessings to you and your family!

How has your writing been going? I was wondering what publisher you’re working with.-
Thank you, Lily! My publisher is WestBow Press (a division of Thomas Nelson). I am currently in the edits and deep into the revisions. Sometimes it goes very slow, but it is still moving forward. How is your writing going? Do you have a publisher yet or a plan on the route you want to take?
Happy New Year too! 🙂

I’ve heard of WestBow; they help you independently publish your stories, if I remember correctly?

Sorry it has been a while before I responded.

Hi Lily,
My week has been busy at work and finding time to write is tough, but I am still pressing through. How was your week?

@calidris Sure thing! I wanted to leave it open for anyone b/c I thought that would be fun–depending on which character touches him will change the tone of what happens next and I’m now sooo interested to see what Basil says and where it goes from here. Yes, let’s go for the friendship thing–Quin needs friends, and if I’m not wrong, so does Basil. 🙂

@emily-waldorf is it ok if Basil claims it? I was actually thinking recently that it would be interesting to see a sort of friendship between him and Quin (if it’s alright with you!)

Ruan relaxed a little when Quin denied his identity as an assassin. Wouldn’t be much use anymore, even if I was. His glance strayed over to Locran, Klein, and Basil. They were all tall, fit, and capable. Niarok was, too, but he had vanished into some dark corner to check on Yila.
