Hi all! It’s your favorite lovable character, Ran. Before we embark on our next ad-ven-ture, I need a blurb. Why do I need this? I’d tell you but this is a public place and the author might see it. We don’t want that to happen because then she’ll know what we’re plotting. And yes, we’re plotting what you think we’re plotting. 😉 Look out Amazon, cause we’re taking over. But first, we need a blurb. So I surveyed all the characters in the ‘More Epic Version’, ignored half of what they said and came up with this: [ More epic than the … Continue reading More Epic Means More Magical Action, we think

Yes, we’re—okay—I’m branching out! This is Ran by the way. Ignore the little icon with the petite brunette in a red sweater holding up an outdated copy of her book. Hey, it’s the story of my life, so I’m allowed to be a bit touchy. Anyway, while our sweetheart of an author is at work, I am staging a takeover on IG. Gaze in wonder at—my takeover! View this post on Instagram Coming soon with more magic, action, drama and mayhem by character request. Hey we're readers too and we want our story to be as epic as possible. We … Continue reading IG Takeover

I’m going hiking with a mysterious entity. With nothing but a cloak, some water, and a really shiny shirt, I will attempt to summit a mountain you have never heard of with an unpronounceable name. I am not responsible for any sky beams or alien invasions that may or may not result from this venture. [Public service announcement ends.] See how it all turned out. Looking for character shenanigans? Find them here. Continue reading Warning!

Lost? Don’t be. Find previous episodes here. Hi Readers! Sorry for the delay. We, the characters, are still hunting down our author, a shy lady named Melinda.  Before we dive back into the search, here’s a recap. And now back to the hunt: A luminous purple butterfly fluttered past Ran. “What are you?” Of course, the butterfly didn’t answer. He wiped tears from his eyes and extended a finger toward the lovely creature. As it alighted, tiny feet tickled Ran’s finger connecting him to hundreds of other characters. Images flashed across his mind’s eye and he heard a woman’s voice reading his story. … Continue reading Characters Crash Cyber Convention (Don’t tell our Author)

Lost? Don’t be. Find previous episodes here. Hi Readers, Ran put the tablet down. “Where is she?” He crawled under the chaise lounge, but there was no author hiding under it or the bed. Melinda was a tiny thing. Maybe a stiff breeze blew her away? Ran rushed over to the sliding glass door and peered out. Seeing only brick buildings with little to recommend them, his shoulders slumped. Where was their author? He had important tales to tell and she was not here to listen.  The author was supposed to be here writing, not out galavanting around or worse, having her own … Continue reading Have You Seen Our Author?

Lost? Don’t be. Find previous episodes here. Hi Readers! Ran paused fingers poised over the keyboard. A purple glow lit his young face emanating from a portal floating in front of him. It framed a slice of another reality where a thirtyish woman stared at a sheet of paper willing it to disgorge its secrets. “What’s she doing?” When his uncle did not supply an immediate response, Ran tapped his shoulder.  “What’s she doing?” She happened to be Melinda, the elusive author of their storied lives. “Author stuff?” Miren volunteered without giving the floating portal a glance. Ran rolled his eyes at his … Continue reading Characters Review their Author

Lost? Don’t be. Find previous episodes here. Yesterday NY got creamed by a blizzard. So I spent my day shoveling and there’s still more to shovel. I also loaded up the more epic version of   Curse Breaker: Enchanted into a voice reader app and gave it a listen. I kept in mind our discussion about tag lines and the disjointed synopsis I took a stab at in yesterday‘s post. Know what happened? I heard spots where I could reinforce the tagline with the story and also, parts I could slant a little differently to make it more epic and to … Continue reading Still playing Tag
