The Temple Builders. When Maraiah reaches its homeland, there are already people living there--people with very different worldviews. The Steward Stories begin to delve into those worldviews. What happens when a culture that glorifies war and triumph over enemies comes up against a nation that glorifies peace and faith? Well, you'll just have to read "The Temple Builders" to find out. #templebuilders #storyquote #fantasy #christianfantasy #fantasyshortstories #readersofinstagram

The semester has barely begun for my final class before I can renew my teaching credential, yet it's already leaving me exhausted and with no writing time. It can't stop me from thinking about this lovely, though. When I can't write, I dream of the coming stories (in waking and sleeping). A couple days ago, I had a breakthrough in the plot for The Steward's Apprentice. My heart longs for this summer when I can share more of these stories with you all. What are you most hoping for in future The Firstborn's Legacy stories? #childofthekaites #cotk #thefirstbornslegacy #christianfantasy #fantasy #moses #biblicalretelling #fantasyretelling #firstinaseries #reader #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #leaderofarevolt #booklover

I believe @hannahheathauthor recommended “Furthermore” to me. Well, I just finished it, and guys, this is one of the most beautiful, vibrant, insightful, whimsical stories I have ever read. A middle grade fantasy in a world (okay, two worlds) where magic is common, this story gracefully explores insecurities about being loved (and a whole lot more on top of that). Every word in this book oozes with intent and meaning. It is gorgeous. Go read it now. #furthermore #middlegrade #beautifulbooks #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #fantasy #middlegradefantasy #reader #readersofinstagram #reads #bookrecommendations

Irellia the Night Walker. I love challenging myself creatively in story writing. As an author, I tend toward descriptive details. Irellia, this story’s protagonist, is blind, which created the challenge of how to write a vibrant story without using sight words. I am particularly fond of this use of taste/smell imagery. Not only do I think Irellia is still vivid despite the limitation of senses, this has helped me think more about non-sight words in the stories I’ve written since then. “Noemi’s Dragon” is another story that challenged me with limited senses. For most of the story, there is no color; then there is a portion with no sound. What is a creative approach to storytelling that you’ve enjoyed? #storytelling #blind #blindprotagonist #fantasy #fantasyshortstories #shortstory #thefirstbornslegacy #writersofinstagram #booknerd

#AuthorBookClub has been reading A Tale of Two Cities this month, and one of my classes chose to read it this semester. Every time someone new reads this most excellent and beautiful of books, it fills me with so much joy. I’m always in awe at how Dickens weaves his story from seemingly disparate threads into a masterful tapestry that makes me cry every time. #taleoftwocities #ataleoftwocities #dickens #classic #read #readersofinstagram #reader #classicslover #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm
