What It Took to Write My Third Novel
13 min readNov 21, 2020
My third novel, Light of the Outsider, is now in the world in e-book and paperback formats, with the audio book in production and on its way.
It’s the first novel in my Shaper’s World storyworld. The Shaper’s World is, speaking simplistically, a fantasy setting like Narnia or Middle Earth… but… no. It’s not like those at all. There are no elves, no hobbits, no talking lions (no tigers or bears or fawns, even), no dwarves or dragons. No portal to our world.
It didn’t start out that way.
