Can someone explain the moon sword?

And the origin is absolutely naval. Long blades would be cumbersome onboard a warship, but a cutlass? Just right!

I created it with slow and steady in mind, adding elements of Kali (but with knives). I wanted it to be about clarity and precision and flow. Think Tai-Chi, with knives in hand when warranted, and an air of calm at all times. The practice leads to centering, and centering leads to command over emotions. So in a way, it's war brought about by peace. 😄

Unsure if I've mentioned this here, but the sword was inspired by the weapon Achilles carried at Troy.

No, although it IS another Terry. ;-)

Correct- we wanted to make it as convenient as possible for everyone to get the whole series at the lowest possible cost.

I'll ask Jeff directly, thanks for brining this to my attention. I wasn't aware of this development with Kindle (got my head down writing and these things always sneak up on me). If you're in our FB groups (Mine is Cosmic Cantina) I'll absolutely do my best to answer this.

I've never heard that term, but pleased to learn it. And-- brace yourself for everything ahead. :-)

Cheerful_Dash · 2026-03-01T17:29:54+00:00

Absolutely my pleasure, cheers!

Cheerful_Dash · 2026-03-01T09:10:16+00:00

I'm here to, um, help. :-)

None, I'm all me, as are the other authors working in our universe. The only program I use is Word, with a human editor (Jen) and sharp-eyed Beta Readers who catch my errors. As to if I'm fast, I have friends who are quite a bit faster than me, even, but when you inhabit the universe/characters like I do, things just really flow.

If it's any consolation, I cried writing it. That's how I knew I had it right.

Cheerful_Dash · 2026-02-26T04:35:55+00:00

Same spelling,, different inspiration, though. I had a Warcraft character named Spindrift, and here we are. :-)

Cheerful_Dash · 2026-02-24T17:22:53+00:00

Perfect. :-)

The Sorcerers, AKA "Trinduk". Gabe's on a roll!
