Help! We’re Fading…

Hi Readers! It’s Ran again. I was going to interview our illustrious commander this week, but I didn’t know what to ask him.

I play a small but essential role. Well, I am four when this … Continue reading Help! We’re Fading…

Can fictional characters think nonfictional thoughts?

Good morning all! We’re thinking of writing a book titled: ‘A fictional character’s guide to book marketing.’ Since we’re fictional, can we still shelve that in the nonfiction department? 0_o (Don’t tell Melinda we’re thinking of doing this. Since we’re fictional, she’d have to do said writing. But if we did it, would it give us street cred? Our scribe’s read a book recently that talked about how a book lends authority. We want that authority. We’re actually not very good at marketing, but maybe writing this book would make us overnight experts?) — Love and hugs your favorite fictional … Continue reading Can fictional characters think nonfictional thoughts?

We’ve been bad…

Hi Readers! I, Ran, son of Sarn, was supposed to grill a man of faith about his adventures (Jerlo). Instead, I, at the goading of my fellow characters, purchased all-new artwork for Curse Breaker: Darkens without consulting Melinda, our scribe. And, I might have caused a minor financial fiasco in the process. Melinda was at work at the time, but that, alas, is no excuse. Still, Darkens now has a really cool cover! Amazon won’t update your version unless you email them and demand an update. (The King of Amazon was busy ascending the Iron Throne when we petitioned him. We … Continue reading We’ve been bad…

Interview with the Scribe…

(Reposted by order of the fictional characters who run this site. You know who we are, and you love us. Admit it.) An interview with author Melinda Kucsera Originally posted by Seth on 8/04/2017 on the Giveaway Guy’s website. If the name Melinda Kucsera sounds familiar it might be because I featured one of her books on my blog recently. This time I have a short interview to share, and she’s put a twist on her answers… In 2014, life set a deadline for author Melinda. Her sister, Carolyn, died at the age of 29. Carol’s last words were a request – she made … Continue reading Interview with the Scribe…

Go Darker! Curse Breaker 2: Darkens is out now!

Hi Readers! CURSE BREAKER: DARKENS is out now! Get your copy now. I’ll wait. Last week,  I lunged at the short man searching for a place to put his book. When I say ‘short,’ I mean it. Jerlo is five feet nothing. I take after my dad, so I’m a giant in comparison. (I’m Ran, son of Sarn, remember?) So I tower about a foot and half over Jerlo’s head, and that height gives me reach. I seize his ankle as he sprints past. “I heard you conned my scribe into writing a book about you! What’s this book about?” Jerlo … Continue reading Go Darker! Curse Breaker 2: Darkens is out now!

Watch Out! Rogue Scribe on the Loose!

Hi Readers! It’s Ran, the lovable son of Sarn, writing you again from the future!) Where we last left off, I was in Amazon Land chasing that wily commander of the Rangers, Jerlo. Every second I knelt there, the towers of ebooks grew taller. New books flashed into existence and older ones jockeyed for space in an endless dance of words. I stared entranced by the sight until a spiked heel landed on my thigh. “Hey!” I shoved the boot off me toppling a lean shadow onto the ground beside me. “What did you do that for?” asked the boy … Continue reading Watch Out! Rogue Scribe on the Loose!

Everyone loves a winner!

So do we! Hi all! This is Ran, son of Sarn, writing on behalf of my fellow characters and our lovely—ahem—imprisoned scribe. We—okay—I might have locked her in her apartment (no ivory towers were available on short notice) with no internet access or phone service so she can work on Curse Breaker: Faceted which is now the sequel to Curse Breaker: Darkens. But I’m not here to talk about CB:D. I’m here to announce the winners of our first ever character-run contest! Huzzah to the winners: Mary Potter Rebecca Andreasen Wayne Hall Terry Easom Kelly McDaniel Monica Ledford If you happen to see … Continue reading Everyone loves a winner!
