*Back from academic terrors and will be catching up with things slowly...

Mainly looking for constructive crits and honest comments. (Yes, really. I can take it. Truly!)
Will attempt to comment back but be warned: I'm slow at doing comments (whole ice ages pass between comments!)

And if you're a fantasy author and want a guaranteed comment, don't forget to check out the forum and the Alliance of Worldbuilders thread! http://www.authonomy.com/forums/threads/61851/the-alliance-of-worldbuilders

Fast paced adventure across multiple worlds with hefty doses of:
Mermaid-Pirates! Kick-Ass Chicks! Minotaurs! Treasure! Weird Cities! Eeeeeeevil Conspiracies!


When tomb raiders battle minotaurs and get trapped in a maze, their only possible escape is to enter a new world and try and survive the warring nations and strange beasties they find there.

All paths lead to Gethine, a city in decline desperate to rebuild its former glories and re-establish itself as a leading force, no matter what the cost. After the city is raided, its darkest secrets are revealed and Gethine's maddest and baddest will do anything to recover what was lost.

If our heroes can survive everything that Gethine has to throw at them they still have to find their way home and combat the dangers that are waiting to welcome them.

Gosh, that is rather good. The writing is solid and you excel at the characterisation in the stories. One thing I would say, though, is that in Injustice, the Bob section - both the flashback/reminiscence and present day scenes in the cell detract from the larger story as the reader gets hooked on... view book

In general: You do an excellent job with scene setting and world building. The camaraderie between Behren and the other students is good although Caillen has a couple of off notes here and there where she descends a little too much into nagging girlfriend mode. You're doing great withbuilding up... view book

Great setting - a little bit steampunky and a refreshing change from standard fantasy fare. Your writing is solid and the story is excellent. Post more chapters please, I need to see where it's going! :-) Only nitpicks (apart from minor typos) I can find are in Chapter two where, 1) using tragic... view book

Crikey. Talk about kicked right in! This is brilliant. Well told and moves along at an excellent pace. You get an instant sense of the world and the characters are fully rounded. And no nitpicks that I can find. :-) Fab story. Needs to be published. :-) view book
