The Next Big Thing! [blog hop]
Ha, I’m still on the first draft of the first book. Amachi is an epic fantasy that will be split into multiple books, so I’ve shelved it a couple times as to not fry my brain and get bored with the project. In the meantime, I’ve written some short stories and got into screenwriting where I’ve finished a couple scripts.
If anything, I’d say probably Lord of the Rings or The Wheel of Time series, just cause the size of the story and the amount of characters.
Hmm, that’s a good one. Well, I’ve always been a fan of female warriors, and Amachi is definitely that, plus she’s a person of color and you don’t see much of that combination as a lead in most fantasy books. I suppose I wanted to write something I rarely ever see. You know, write the books you’d like to read?
There are many aspects to Amachi’s story. Outside of the action, magic, mythical creatures, powers dealing with the mind, body, soul, and spirit, and martial arts, the story addresses themes like slavery, politics, family relationships, society, culture, and you have a woman who’s always had to be a hard, fearless, warrior having to discover, embrace, and master her femininity all the while struggling to rebuild her people.
