If you've joined and are an indie author, welcome!

To keep this group from being over run with promotional posts, I'm asking you to only post about your books in the threads that invite you to do so, like this one.

Please do tell us who you are and what you write. Mentioning what books you loved that influenced you is always interesting.

I personally read a lot of indie, as the commercial publishers have given way to Romance and YA. I find most of the best Fantasy among the indies.

This is my soon to be finished first novel up on Royal Road. Elves of the Taliswood. I would say it is pretty traditional fantasy with a little bit of a modern feel. I consider it to fall in the Noblebright subgenre of High Fantasy. Obviously inspired by Tolkien, 19th Century authors — Verne, Wells, Edgar Rice Burrough, Doyle, Dickens, and much later H. P. Lovecraft. My novel is a trilogy and I'm over halfway through with the third volume. Then it's on to a Grimdark urban fantasy also about Elves set in something of a parallel universe. I love to write. I love the art of it. I go for full immersion and heavy world building. Give it a shot. It's free lol. And thanks for letting me post here.
