Elina raised an eyebrow. “Magic?”
Magic was used to heal, and in rare cases, to create. So, she supposed that the castle could have been created through magic, although it would have taken ten people at least, all with an immense amount of experience. However, that still didn’t explain how their little group had been…[Read more]

In that case, I’d say The Wingfeather Saga is definitely worth your time if you get a chance to read it. 🙂

Lona replied to the topic Your Type of Fantasy in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Ooh cool topic!
So, personally, I really like fantasies that have underlying messages that are left for the reader to do with as they interpret it. For example, LoTR does a good job with this. (Although I admit, you do have to do a lot of slogging through pages of Hobbits just wandering around to get to those underlying…[Read more]

I can also see your posts. But I felt since I had just posted, better to let someone else go first. 🙂

Thanks for clarifying your meaning, Brian. I think I understand your perspective a little better now. 🙂

You are helping me, you know. By our conversation, I am better learning how I am heard and where I have not been clear. Communication is best achieved when both reach an understanding of something the other one wishes to convey, even if they may not agree. Thank you for that.

Hi Brian,
Thanks again for your thoughts! However, I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
Hope you have a nice evening. 🙂

That is perfectly fine. We don’t have to agree on everything, just the essentials, and Jesus. ❤ 😉
May you have a blessed evening, too!

Hi, Brain! Thanks for your comments! They were very interesting to me. 🙂
Before I respond to your comments, however, I would like to make clear what I meant by a gentleman. I did not mean a man who comes in to save a woman because she “cannot” fend for herself. I did not mean a man who uses physical violence to meet…[Read more]

Thanks! I love Celtic mythology, its absolutely criminal that its not adapted enough to the screen or literature that often
I would agree, considering I can’t think of any Celtic myths I’ve read. (Aside from King Arthur. Is that Celtic?)
I hope its not one of those plot points that gets thrown out in the end because its…

Thanks for the tag, Rose! However, my family is going to be traveling for the next couple of weeks, so I think I’ll pass on this. Sorry. 🙁

The George MacDonald who write the Flashman series?
No, actually. This is the George MacDonald who influenced a lot of C. S. Lewis’s writings.
My favorite Christie book would have to be either Murder on the Orient Express, or The Murder of Sir Roger Ackroyd, but there are many other fantastic Hercule Poirot books.
Nice! I will have…[Read more]

In Medieval Ireland, noble families used to send their sons and daughters to other noble families very young so that they would be fostered by them. It was supposed to strengthen relations between the two families, and the children would probably grow up to become more familiar with their foster family rather than their…

Oh wow thats interesting. I can see why that would inspire you. That would add more tension, because I’ll bet half of the other characters think she’s deluded or schizophrenic.
Yep. She is the town’s “madgirl”.
It totally works with me. I was listening to ‘Toss a Coin to Your Witcher’ today AAAND I got a great idea for…

Elina had breathed a small sigh of relief when the girl sheathed her dagger, but she still was unsure. She had learned, many times over, that blind trust was a dangerous thing. It put you out in the open and just hoped that everyone else would be kind enough to respect that, instead of knocking you down at the first sight of something they…[Read more]

Hi, Noah! Welcome to SE! 🙂
I go by Lona around here. And, no, I do not have a white cat named Lona (seems like just about everyone has asks me that). Lona is simply a cat from a book written by one of my favorite authors. Have you heard of George MacDonald?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie are also impressive authors! I spent last…[Read more]

Favorite historical time period? Yikes! That’s hard. Perhaps Reformation times and the World Wars. Really all of history. I love finding out little bits of God’s amazing providence in stories that are not well known. History is so fascinating!
Ooh, yes the Reformation is very interesting! The World Wars are bit too intense for me, tho…[Read more]

Of course I’d love to share it! It’s a strange one… But I had a dream about a deadly machine where you put two people in and the machine decides which person deserves to live the most, depending on skills, strength and worth. Kind of like survival of the fittest.
Wow, that is…intense. 0.0 Still sounds like a cool plot…[Read more]
