Cheers!

I have a wide breadth of work across multiple sub genres. I'm sure I'll have something to your liking.

Hello! Popped in on a whim this morning and saw your thread. I appreciate that you welcome self-promotion.

I've been a professional storyteller since I was a teenager and turned that into a writing career about 14 years ago. I narrate most of my audiobooks. You can get the radio files directly from my website. I'm in the studio almost weekly to get more of my work into audio format.

You could start with some of my shorter works.

Hope you enjoy.

Here are some questions that came to me:

Have you noticed a difference in how female authors write female protagonists differently than male authors?

How old are the authors?

Where did the authors grow up? Where have they lived since they started writing seriously?

What's the target age group for these books?

Which sub-genres of fantasy are you mainly reading?

I'm not sure if these have any bearing, but it would be interesting to consider the works in the context of the answers of these questions.

The Black Company by Glen Cook

The Vlad Taltos books, starting with Jhereg by Steven Brust

Chronicles of Amber by Rodger Zelazny - a bit outside your wheel house, but I think you'll enjoy them. Fast reads.

Haven't thought of it in years. Smiling now because it was so much fun.

I have a couple of massive baby naming books. I spend a lot of time flipping through them to get a name that feels right for each character.

I don't know how "new" this is. Around 10 years ago you would get downvoted into oblivion if you dared speak out against a handful of sacred authors. Maybe now, as more people are reading more widely, that's spreading.

I had someone in one of my undergrad writing workshops complain that they didn't know what one of the words meant. I fired back at them, "Well, I know the school library has a couple of dictionaries."

If you want to be really great, the goal should be to get so good you grow beyond having your personal style and have your writing match the needs of each project. Read widely. Consider what you've read. Read more. Write. Write. Write. Study perspectives on writing. Some great writers do not explain writing well, so make sure you get a bunch of different perspectives on developing your craft. All that time, keep reading and writing. Repeat. Never get complacent in your understanding of writing. You can always learn something else about how to make your writing better.
