Voici une photo de moi en vacances à Port Real, du côté de Westeros, j'sais pas si vous connaissez. Sympa comme lieu. Pour 15€ on peut visiter la ville à dos de dragon. Alors je l'ai fait, bien entendu. C'était cool, sauf le moment où j'ai vomi tous les cadavres d'insectes que j'avais gobé pendant que j'essayais de crier DRACARYS sur la population. Meh. J'ai demandé un remboursement. Je mettrai 3 couronnes sur leur site. _________________ #gameofthronesseason8 #gameofthronesfans #gameofthronesfan #gameofthronesfamily #gameofthronespost #gameofthrones #dragon #dragons #dragonflies #dragonfly #dragonborn #skyrim #castle #kingslanding #portreal #fantasy #fantasyauthor

Happy 80th Birthday... to Peter S. Beagle! . . Though I've only recently (within the last 10 years or so), discovered his work *other* than The Last Unicorn ... I've come to appreciate an treasure his voice in the fantasy genre. I've begun to look forward to anything new that he publishes... . . Here's to many more years and wonderful stories from a master wordsmith!!

I love the concept of a city and castle built amongst waterfalls and beautiful river systems. I actually have such a city in my novel, so it was really cool to see the concept depicted in this work by @stephennajarian - I can’t wait to bring my own version to life in my story #fantasyauthor _______________________________________ #waterfall #castle #bookstagram #epicfantasy #whitecastle #waterfalls #river #books

Something about wolves lends itself naturally to fantasy stories. The most notable is probably the #direwolves of #housestark in #gameofthrones - I also enjoyed (although this is not fantasy) #TheCallOfTheWild - perhaps it’s the unique howl, the intrigue of a quiet and intelligent predator, or perhaps the somewhat kindred link some people feel with wolves. In any event, there are some very cool and unique species of wolves in my story - most notably the blood wolves of the Great Kazachi Desert #fantasyauthor _______________________________________ #wolf #stark #ghost #johnsnow #aryastark #bookstagram - photocredit to @stuharrington

This painting of the mighty #Achilles by @stuharrington reminds me of the people of #Boralia - one of the island countries in my story. The #Boralians are a warrior race loosely inspired by the people of #ancientGreece - although they are in a somewhat precarious position as book one commences, as hand-to-hand supremacy is of diminishing value in a world of airships. I look forward to unveiling them to you, although their role is fairly limited in book one (will try to find a good image reminiscent of a female Boralian warrior to share soon as well) #fantasyauthor _______________________________________ #fantasy #greece #spartan #leonidas #bookstagram #fantasywriter

Speaking of #wolves - this image by @aviakuu is stunning. This wolf looks like he/she would have some sort of deific or mystical quality within whatever world it reigns. #fantasyauthor _______________________________________ #wolf #ghost #books #bookstagram #fantasy #dreams #fenrir

Just a thought, but I think writers need to be careful making children central to the story. Don’t get me wrong, if it’s done well the results can be fantastic (e.g. #Lift from #stormlightarchive #arya early in #gameofthrones and the #harrypotter team), but if it is not done well the results are not so good... #fantasywriter _______________________________________ #fantasyauthor #mischief #children - photocredit to @inawong87

My initial spoiler free thoughts on #thelongnight and #thebattleofwinterfell - it was a lot of fun, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and I felt the ending validated a lot of a character’s arc over the story. Cons were that it was hard to make out what was happening and too much #deusexmachina - but otherwise I loved the episode. Since I’ve been harping on about wolves lately, here’s our boy #Ghost in action #fantasyauthor _______________________________________ #gameofthrones #direwolf #fantasy #epicfantasy

It’s time for tea Thursday. Although quite frankly every day is a tea day for me. What colour teacup is your favourite? __________ On a totally separate note do you have a Twitter account? If you do please comment your user name and I will follow. Mine is @smailholmbook (link in profile) I’ve been on Twitter a while but only just starting to use it more. I don’t know about you but I often feel overwhelmed with all the social media noise at times and the fact that as an aspiring author I’m meant to nurture audiences on both. Instagram is my preferred channel but even that is hard to keep up with at times. _________ Also on instagram I will always try and follow back - particularly authors and #bookstagrammers. Remind me if I haven’t followed back! ___________ #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram #authorcommunity #bookstagramcommunity #bookstgrammer #bookstagramit #bookstagram #bookobsessed #stilllifephography #Allthebeautifulthings #Creativeflatlays #Booksandtea #timefortea #myeverydaymagic #flatlaystyle #booksbooksbooks #youngadultbooks #bookalicious #fantasyauthor
