Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Annals of Wynnewood

Falconry? Cut excerpt from Beneath the Cloak

Yes, Dove originally had ambitions for learning the fascinating art of falconry, but I argued with her until she agreed to cut it from her life.  However, because all that work shouldn't be "in vain for nuthin'" (name that movie), I'm posting those sections for you here.  :) *** On that same Continue Reading

What is Next?

Aggie is coming soon, but as far as youth fiction, I have several things in the works and planned. Everard-- In the Not-So-Fairy Tales collection, I have started a story about a prince who has just returned from war.  He's shy, confused, and after doing something so out of character that he can't Continue Reading

Peek at the Map: Beneath the Cloak

Just a tiny peek... to whet the whistle and such like... Continue Reading

Peeks at My Notes

I learned something about myself in this book.  You see, I usually am a "fly by the seat of my pants" writer.  The story is in there, and my fingers simply type it into Word and then I polish it into the story it is meant to be.  Well, when a books is supposed to be the last one in a series, it Continue Reading

The Making of a Map

So, throughout the map making process, Craig often sends me updates-- little snippets to keep me abreast of what is happening!  I thought it'd be fun to show you a few of the things that he sent along the way this time. Then he sent... This one amazed me! Then, after that, he Continue Reading

Annals of Wynnewood Take Two?

In the last post, I gave a hint about something possibly in the works.  Well, I'm not sure I'm done with the characters of Wynnewood.  There was so much I wanted to add to the third book-- or the fourth-- but it would have been like the difference between the third Harry Potter book and the fourth.  Continue Reading

Feelin’ the Love

So, one of the most amazing things about writing is seeing other people get wrapped up in your work.  I love it when I get a ding from a friend online and read, "Hey, got any more ___" (fill in the blank).  It's just the most amazing thing  to see others not just willing to read what you wrote, but Continue Reading

Craig Worrell: Sketchy Guy (Part 5)

Stay tuned at the end of the interview for more information on Craig, his website, and the blog where he showcases his recent work. What do you suggest to people who want to learn how to draw more accurately?  Are there any books you recommend?  Videos?  Online classes?  Correspondence Continue Reading

Craig Worrell: Interview (Part 4)

Now we're getting into the visual aspect of it all.  Let's SEE just what this guy is and who he admires.  Let's really rip the soul from his creativity and examine it... umm no.... let's not and let's not say we did.  That was just... well... Yeah.  How about a nice simple question like, who his Continue Reading

Craig Worrell: Interview (Part 3)

Oh, we're gettin' to the good stuff.  The nitty gritty, and I think that's appropriate.  After all, life in medieval times was very nitty (lice) and gritty (grime).  It works.  Just sayin', but it works.  Onto the interesting stuff! What kinds of things do you enjoy drawing most?  (Portraits, Continue Reading

Craig Worrell: Interview (Part 2)

Well, after reading that his friend calls him an illustrationIST, I felt a little guilty using the "tor" so I went for both.  That way, everyone is happy... or no one is.  I'm good either way.  I think I got gypped by the way.  I doodled... and I can't draw a crooked line! When did you start Continue Reading

Craig Worrell: Illustrator (Part 1)

Last September, I got a phone call.  Now, anyone who knows me knows how much I love the phone.  *cough*  Picture it.  Ethan is trying to convince me he's paying close attention to his math book while Wall-E plays in the background.  Andra is STILL clearing the counters from lunch, and Lorna is... Continue Reading

Found this book at our local bookstore, Red Rock Found this book at our local bookstore,  Red Rock Books. It changed one direction of my next Bookstrings novel. I think we need more emphasis on picture books. So... this will sit around to inspire.
