Parr is a character who popped up uninvited in chapter 4 of The King’s Paladin and immediately caught my attention, partially because he sprung into existence with a full character arc, backstory, and relationship arc with Coraline (i.e. he’s the most fully-formed character to ever just show up). He’s the son of two Mandorian advisors and captain of King Shordin’s private guard. Enjoy his interview! Continue reading “Character Interview: Parr Renate”

The Shared WIP Tag – Week 3: Antagonist Questions
This post was supposed to go up on Friday, but my site has been down since last Tuesday so I wasn’t able to post it. But it’s here now, so let’s get into it. :)
Introduce the main antagonist of your book!
Meet Orlan Resdin, captain of the Mandorian guard. He’s not nearly as nice as the actor looks in this picture. He grew up with Coraline and Gabel and the other three kids who trained to become the next Paladin, and his gift is super-strength. He has a hot temper, holds a grudge like nobody’s business, and has a distinct lack of self-control. Continue reading “The Shared WIP Tag – Week 3: Antagonist Questions”
The Shared WIP Tag – Week 2: Protagonist Questions
It’s time for the second week’s Shared WIP Tag questions, and they’re all about the protagonist. (I’m super excited to read everyone else’s answers. ^-^) Most of y’all know Coraline from Preptober Prompts, but if you don’t… you’re about to learn about her. On to the questions!
Introduce your MC a little (name, maybe a description or picture, etc,) and tell us something quirky about them.
Coraline Seralen is a compassionate Paladin who has a passion for helping people and Continue reading “The Shared WIP Tag – Week 2: Protagonist Questions”
Preptober Prompts Week 3 Day 1 – 2018
*blinks at prompt* Is there any possible way I can make this not repetitive…
The only way I can think to not emphasize Coraline’s intense love of apples is to answer this for Ismena instead, so we’re gonna do that. Ismena is the second main character in The King’s Paladin, and likely a second POV character. She’s the princess of Mandoria, and she’s fully prepared to be queen when the time comes.
Ismena doesn’t Continue reading “Preptober Prompts Week 3 Day 1 – 2018”
Preptober Prompts Days 6-7 – 2018
Sorry this is a day late. :P
Coraline’s favorite fall memory is of her first “solo” horseback ride when she was eight. She was actually accompanied by Gabel and Dorian (nine and ten, at the time), but it was the first ride she took without Eliot’s supervision. She got to ride all over the fields outside the castle, and took a detour to the apple grove on her way back to the castle to grab an apple for each of her fellow students, herself, and Eliot to celebrate. (I think she has a slightly above-normal love of apples.)
This prompt concludes week one of Preptober Prompts! You can find all the prompts so far here:
Prompt 1: List 10 things your main character is thankful for.
Prompt 2: What is your main character’s favorite fall activity?
Prompt 3: Does your main character have any fall traditions?
Prompt 4: Pick one of your side characters. How do they feel about fall?
Prompt 5: What is your antagonist’s favorite thing about fall?
Next week’s category is description. Make sure to follow RaeMarie at Ozark Mountain Cailins so you don’t miss any of this week’s prompts, and have fun sharpening your descriptive writing skills. :)
