After my editor has provided their notes from their playtesting round, after these have been applied a second round of playtesting will begin with newbie players. I am looking forward to gaining a new and fresh perspective of the game from non-writing players. I hope that from their playing I will learn how to improve the scenario for gamers like them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3af2e977abfb0a13519759/1602350711864-RI3OYJ6NI06WEE17TL87/Djed_pillar_Amulet_MET_DP109385.jpg Work in Progress - Vengeance of the Pharaoh - Gaming Scenario Update (October 10th 2020) I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out and appreciate the support I’ve received in making the game better with each edit. This is a scenario now in its 12th(?) rewrite and each time I feel more confident in its progression and the strength in its content. From my last notes by my editor it sounds like I’ll be able to have this published by early next year. Currently we are in the process of playtesting the game. There will be an initial playtest, followed by an edit from the notes made, and then a secondary playtest. The aim is for three playtests to be made in total, depending on the success/advice offered in each of them. That is all that has been planned so far.

For NaNo, as a Rebel author, I have used this time to finish up and continue working on Home to the Wild for this month of writing. Nearing 25k words, with 50k and the final draft of the novel being complete, I am very excited to get to the point of having a first full draft. The art piece to the left, this was created by the fantastic Arthur Bowling, and is the final design for Artemis. The main character for all three Into the Wild books.

Think Rick Riordan Presents meets the MCU. In his video here he discusses this briefly. I was one of the first authors approached to join this collective and my series, Eilean in the Otherworld, will explore the world of Celtic mythology and folklore. Celtic belief spread across many areas of the United Kingdom from Ireland to Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall. It also covers many different folktales such as King Arthur and Fionn mac Cumhaill. Why did I choose Celtic mythology? Scottish Father and Cornish Maternal origins is the reason. That and it gives me a great excuse to visit Loch Lomond and claim it as work expenses. So, join me on my journey of creating the story for modern day Celtic mythology with my main character Eilean MacAlistair and the drama she’ll be getting involved with, coming soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3af2e977abfb0a13519759/1651600086202-E20UNMKBCRSV0O03KWNR/unsplash-image-FHnnjk1Yj7Y.jpg Work in Progress - Eilean in the Otherworld - Update (May 2022) With the full rough draft written in November of 2021, the series editor, Callan Brown, has been working hard ever since in providing initial commentary on how to improve the novel. My aim is to begin my revisions of the story this month and the next with the hope to have it revised by July/August. Alongside the novel, the prequel short story has been delivered to the Tales from the Otherworlds editor for publication sometime this Summer.

Otherwise, your metal will break. The same is true with life. A few years back, Eilean didn’t temper herself, and she broke someone. Badly. Hospital badly.

Mamó is sick, her family is straining at the seams, and magic is real! An Otherworld has been calling to her from beneath Loch Lomond. When she answers, Eilean discovers a world of blacksmiths in ballgowns, cruel cyclopses, and chronically critical kelpies. Because she didn't have enough problems to deal with already.

Only then are you screwed. Then you must start from scratch. A few months ago, Eilean gave up her lifeline to save her Mamó and a God. She’d hoped that would be the end of it, until a Goddess gave Eilean vague hints of her future. Because Gods never make things simple. Now with Ar Dachaidh’s color still fading, Cernunnos’ strength yet to return, and a dead Goddess, Eilean must find an Order who will help her save the Celtic Gods from their impending doom. Totally easy, right? Enter The Order of Albion, an ancient Druid society who have centuries of knowledge and magical skill to pass on. And they’ve been waiting for Eilean and Freya’s arrival. With their guidance, Eilean discovers new abilities, gains lessons in restraint, and, for once, is finally feeling normal. But with time running out, if Eilean doesn't temper her skills, they risk losing the Otherworld entirely. Will Eilean be able to master her powers fast enough to save Ar Dachaidh? Or will the pressure crack her poorly forged façade? This Summer, things are only getting more complicated.
