Road to 100 Subscribers!

In this video, I discuss my influences from Lord of the Rings and Shannara to Magic: The Gathering and teachers who have guided my path into the genre of fantasy fiction.

For the last three years, I've been working on what has come to be known as "The Lightblessed Saga." The first book, "Night of the Illumination," is in the final preparatory stages for being published, and as a first time self-publishing author I wanted to document the steps I've gone through and the steps I'm going through to get this book published. Plenty of videos exist to describe each step, but everyone's journey is different. This is my own.
