You never know where the act of writing will take you and may be surprised at what surfaces. Many times it seems like the story has a life of its own and will eventually lead you to where it wants to go, even if you you have to go through quite a bit of crap to get there. Kind of like life, you just have to keep chugging along, put the work in, and eventually, you'll find your way.(less)

The third book will be told from Rusty's perspective and the majority of the book will take place in the mythical realm of Vinland. I have also been working on a YA fantasy about two warring kingdoms that have been in conflict for centuries. When one of the kingdoms successfully casts an infertility spell over the other, rendering their army depleted and weak, three females are caught up in the chaos surrounding a search for the cure.
