Updates

I hope here to post modest updates, blog-style musings, and links to sample chapters and draft material for stories I'm working on.

Successful Launch!

I cannot properly express how grateful I am to everyone who helped make the launch of "The Ninth Forvar" a success! I'm endlessly grateful for your support in taking this book to the #35 spot for Dark Fantasy, and placing it among the top 900 BOOKS.

The feeling of gleeful gratitude is immense, dear reader. And it cannot be overstated.

The Ninth Forsvar is coming!

The Ninth Forsvar is at long last released, and available on Amazon in all formats!

A massive thank you to Emily An, for your magnificent art, as well as everybody else you contributed along the way. I will find a way to celebrate each and every one of you, though it may take some time.

I hope you have as much fun diving into this world as I had writing about it. Buckle up, and stay tuned for news about book 2!

Map of the "Civilized World"

This is the map of the so called "Civilized World", the setting of The Ninth Forsvar, and the realms known to its inhabitants. I've included it here firstly to show off the work that went into producing it, but also because I thought it might be a useful example of what I think a reasonably well-developed worldbuilding product looks like (if I may be so bold).

For anybody looking to do some worldbuilding themselves, I highly recommend two blog series on the topic, the first by Richie Billing (https://richiebilling.com/fantasy-writing/a-complete-guide-to-fantasy-worldbuilding#WBD1) and the second, my favourite, by Bret Devereaux (https://acoup.blog/resources-for-world-builders/)

If you don't feel like reading, there is also a series of great YouTube videos on worldbuilding by Hello Future Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODY21Z9zNCw&t=375s&pp=ygUNd29ybGRidWlsZGluZw%3D%3D
