Hey there! I write dragon novels!!!
@talismanbrett -
My background in writing stems mostly from the inspiration I found as a kid when I read Fantasy and Sci-Fi books. These include The Chronicles of Narnia, The Xanth Novels, The Time Quintet, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and everything from Shakespeare to Dr. Seuss. In my formative years, I joined several punk rock bands and wrote songs, poetry, and short stories aplenty. As an adult (?) I took on a dare and wrote the first book in my Talisman Series. I loved the feeling it gave me and the idea of inspiring others so much that I kept writing until I had an entire series.

And now, a massive head's up! I am NOT a professional writer. That's why I write MG/YA instead of High, Epic

So, I have a character in book 3 and beyond named Jericho, and he is easily my favorite character. He's ripped straight out of a shounen anime being the silent, mysterious type with blue/blonde chunked hair. He wears a hoodie and is usually meditating or just being aloof from the rest of the group. When it's time for battle though, he's the fiercest and bravest, never backing down from a fight. He's basically a ninja on steroids. And he ALWAYS puts in his earbuds and blasts some abrasive, punk-rock music while cutting down Darkbrands! Plus, his magic spell, Chaos Eater, is pretty original for the fantasy genre. I've never read anything like it before. Thank you, Maura!(less)

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!

It's official! I've released my last novella!

And so, with great anticipation, Part One of The Talisman Series comes to a close. It's been a very long journey since 2017, but I am very happy with the fantastic results!

6 main installments and 5 novellas later, and we have everything we need to close out Part One.

Please contact me if you have any interest in free digital copies of ALL 11 works

Brett Salter and 3 other people liked Pierre's status update
Pierre
Pierre added a status update: I finished Revaramek the Resplendent.
An amazing work, even unfinished as it is.
And will remain.

It's not only a gripping story with endearing protags.
It's also a philosophical journey on many accounts, not the boring way philosophy classes could be.
Struggles and redemptions of simple mortals or gods take you on that journey seamlessly.

2 months since Of the Wilds passed.
I hope this will be published, one day.
