Thursday features Writing Refuge, Book Two of Affinities #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #fantasy #earth #air #water #fire

 When I began Refuge, I knew the group of youngsters had to find a safe place. Not only them but their first fried and the ones they made in the city. During this period, they came upon the Doma who was grandmother to their first friend. They worry about what they;d heard when they left the city. He had to die. Just what did that mean? Eventually they found the answer and they also met their other friends again with the group of people who traveled bringing goods, stories and music to the farms. During this time, they also encounter several boys who have the talents they do. Finally they flee from this place and join their friends. Now the search is for a safe place where they can hone their talents for earth, air, water and fire. In some ways this book was harder to write than the first but this story had to be told. When I finished I thought there would be just one more book but I found to my surprise later that there needed to be four before the quest ended.

How the book Progressed -- Refuge - 2nd of The Henge Betrayed Series

One copy of Refuge will be given away to the person who gives me a way to reach them.

Weeks ago I began talking about how the series The Henge Betrayed began and got sidetracked. Happens sometimes these days but I'll get back to that now. Refuge is the second book in the fantasy series suitable for children and adults. One reviewer said this was perfect for the ten year old to read. Another thought adults would enjoy the series.

When I began the second story in the series, some things had changed in the long outline, which actually could be called a novella. I had to think about what those changes meant to the characters. There were alos new characters to introduce, one of them being a mentor. The first book has a scene near the ending when the young heir to Wesren learns he must die. Having written this and knowing he was one of the recurring characters, I had to figure what I meant. Each of these young people has a gem to enhance their affinity for one of the elements. He also had one. Aha, I thought. If the gem is destroyed he could die or be thought dead by Dom Senet the villain. How to accomplish this. In the mean time the four siblings are running away and have no clear destination. During this time Ash attempts to reach their friends and Dom Senet hears her on the winds. This evil man has all four affinities. She panics and her siblings unite to bring her out of this. Their flight continues and they still seek a mentor. During their flight Ash falls into an icy pond and becomes ill. The siblings watch her draw close to death. They then decide to seek an elderly Doma named Jandia.

This woman becomes their mentor and frankly could have taken over the story but I managed to keep the four siblings and their other friends in charge of the story and the action by not giving this woman or any of the other adults a viewpoint in the story. They are also concerned with two friends they left in Cedris and want these friends to join them. Once they rescue their prince friend who has appeared to die, they now must go to Cedris to rescue their two new friends who have affinities.

During this time their affinities are sharpened. They search for a place where they can be free to learn how to use their affinities for Earth, Water, Fire and Air.

My Writing Life

The Henge Betrayed Confrontations is moving forward and I am close to two fifths done. Hoping to finish before the end of the year.

Decided to do the Six Sentences but I can't post to the person running the thing unless I change my stuff to Outlook. I'm happy with my default for things and have had no problems. So I will post when I remember.

Am working on a challenge for writers and I do wish someone who borrowed one of my books Dwight Swain's because he explains it better than I can but I will get to this on Saturday.

One bit of almost good news but I should know more later. The Henge Betrayed Refuge is tentatively scheduled to be released in October.

The idea for the final of the Seduction series is mulling in my head.
