Madia’s Plans

I’m finally getting around to repurposing some of my older newsletter sneak peeks and behind the scenes notes into blog posts!

To start with, we’ll delve into the lore of the Wishing Blade Universe…

I have a lot of fun when working on the world of the Wishing Blade, both with Cirena, and with the Cantingen Islands. While Cirena is the mainland, the Cantingen Islands are to its southeastern shore, though more distant than my map would suggest.

This is an older version of the map, but not...

A fun new quiz is available!

Infinitas Publishing now has a new page… the Extras page!

Right now it just has the one “extra,” a “Which of our series should you read first?” quiz!

Long term, I’m hoping to add other fun quizzes… think “Which character are you?” or “Which powers would you have?”

But this is the one I decided to use for figuring out how Tally.so (the quiz host) works, so here it is!

Click here to take the “Which of our series should you read first?” quiz!

Betrayed Launch Overview

For Betrayed, the first new book I’d launched (aside from a coloring book and omnibus print edition) since Starless Night (November 2021)… I wanted to give it the full launch. But with a little over three years since the last big launch (which had me double and triple checking my math because where did that time go?) I had some catching up to do, some notes to revisit, and whole new systems to build.

This post is where I do a post-mortem of the launch so I can see what I intended to do, versu...

🎉 The Legends of Cirena Volume One Ebook is here!

Happy eBook Birthday, Legends of Cirena Volume One! 

Though the print edition has been available for a couple years, I’ve finally compiled the ebook edition!

(I don’t know why I didn’t compile it sooner… ebooks are usually easier to format than print versions.)

In the meantime, let’s toast (I choose coffee!) to the new book! 

Here’s what reviewers are saying so far:

“Although all the stories are set in the same world and are deeply shaped by it, they blend the common fantasy wi...

Crafting Your Fictional World: Adding Flavor to Your Story

A couple years ago, I started working on a non-fiction project:

Crafting Your Fictional World: A Guide for Writers and Gamemasters

While I had several chapters written (And I’ve done a two-hour long workshop a few times at the local art center!) it’s mostly sat on the back burner.

Originally, I wanted to make the chapters part of a subscription setup with monthly chapters and exercises and cool stuff… but I’ve found my process isn’t consistent enough at this point to make sure I have en...

Infinitas Publishing – Status Report

Time for the March-April Infinitas Publishing status report!

I had hoped to put this out sooner, but between vacation and then a second unplanned trip a few days later, this is coming out a little later than expected.

Lots happening, though, even with the chaos months having begun.

I’ve highlighted the projects that had changes in blue.
