​Tor carried the orb in one hand. Its glow had slowly dwindled since he had removed it from the wall sconce, but it still gave enough light for Tor to lead Koji and Borgli along the curved rock corridor connecting the guest house to Vanda’s manor. They emerged just outside the dining room, where Tor placed the orb in another sconce, its light blooming at contact.
He paused in the dining room doorway, surprised by what he saw. Vanda stood before the burning fireplace, and he was not alone. A young woman stood beside him.
Her brown hair spilled over one shoulder, her slightly angular eyes and tanned skin speaking of her as Balmorian. Rather than wearing a dress, the common garb for females, tight, brown breeches clung to her long, lean legs and a green leather vest, cinched at the waist, covered her upper body. Beneath the vest was a cream tunic unlaced to leave her collarbone exposed. A thick black belt and black riding boots completed her ensemble.
The woman’s dark eyes met Tor’s. She frowned as those eyes scanned him from head to toe. “Who is this?”
Tor said, “I was about to ask the same question.”
Vanda turned toward Tor. The sorcerer wore a black doublet trimmed in silver. “Ah. Finally. You are lucky. If I did not have a quest that I needed to discuss with you, dinner would have already begun.” He put a hand on the woman’s shoulder. “I want you to meet Taquell Tarpon. Taquell, this is Tor Ranseur.”
“Truly?” She arched a brow. “I expected someone more…impressive.”
Such dismissals irritated Tor. He had heard the same before and the comments only became more frequent as his fame spread. “And I would expect a young woman to show respect toward her elders.”
She snorted. “You expect wrong. Respect is earned, and I’ve seen nothing to show you deserve it.”
Fists tightening, Tor bristled until Koji rested his heavy paw on his shoulder.
“Easy, Tor,” Koji said in a soft voice.
The woman looked Koji up and down. “And who is this oversized lunkhead?”
Vanda said, “This is Kojinko Maulo. Like Tor, he is a Murguard veteran and a seasoned adventurer.”
Her gaze shifted to Borgli, who stood at Tor’s other side. “And the walking beard?”
“The name is Borgli Handshaw.” Borgli stroked his damp facial hair. “I am flattered that you are impressed with my beard.”
The woman snorted. “If you say so.”
“Enough banter.” Vanda clapped his hands, the sound echoing in the chamber. The candelabras on the dining table ignited with flame. “Let us sit, eat, and have a civil discussion.
The wizard claimed the seat at the head of the table, as he always did. Tor sat beside him with Koji on his other side. The woman sat across from Tor, Borgli beside her.
She narrowed her eyes at the dwarf. “Be sure to keep your hands to yourself, little man.”
“I am no man.” He thumbed his chest. “I am a dwarf and among the tallest of my kind.”
The woman chuckled. “Yeah, right.”
“He truly is a dwarf,” Tor said.
“Dwarves are the subjects of bedtime stories.”
“Just because you have not seen something yourself, does not mean it doesn’t exist, Taquell.”
“I prefer you to call me Quell.”
“Quell?” Tor frowned. “That means to quiet something. It’s not a name.”
“And Tor is?”
“It is short for Victor.”
“And Quell is short for Taquell. What is the difference?”
Vanda sighed. “I asked for a civil conversation. If you two will not comply, I have ways of silencing you.”
Tor clamped his mouth closed. His nostrils flared, but he said nothing. Likewise, Quell crossed her arms over her chest, and she pressed her lips together.
Approaching footsteps drew Tor’s attention to the entrance as Ivanka and Goren walked in, each with a tray filled with food. The scent of spiced lamb tickled Tor’s nose and caused his mouth to water.
“Excellent,” Vanda said as the pair set the trays on the table and began passing the food down. “Let us eat and then we will discuss business.”
“Business?” Tor asked.
“Of course. You didn’t think Quell joined us merely for our company?”
Tor chose two pieces of flatbread before passing the bowl to Vanda, all the while staring at Quell. What business could we have with this impertinent young woman?
He would soon find out.

I love fantasy, adventure, and magic. More than that, I adore my readers.

My books are written to entertain -- fantasy adventures filled with compelling characters, spectacular magic, thrilling action, constant intrigue, and a sense of discovery. I equate them to the "Marvel Movie" version of fiction, intended to be a fun escape.

I would love to have you join me and my quirky characters for one outrageous adventure after another. With over two million published words to my name, my author journey has just begun.

In this world, wizards rule. As the ruling class, they are often aloof, pompous, and power-hungry. Sometimes, they are even the villains. Those able to claim a throne are granted the power of a god, which allows them to rule for centuries. It creates some interesting and complex intrigue that has been fun enough to write that I am currently crafting the 18th novel in that same world.

If your grandson enjoys fantasy, I suspect he would have fun with all of my books. They are fast-paced, loaded with magic and adventure, and they all include sprinkles of humor that balance the more intense moments. I hear from readers of all ages (12-85) of how much they enjoy the stories, so they appeal to a wide audience. Thanks for commenting!

I am glad you think so. If you would like to sample my writing, search your favorite eBook bookseller for WIzardoms: Legend of Shadowmar. It is a free prequel novella, about 75 pages long, and is a great lead in to any of my Wizardoms novels.

Fantastic. Those are both super important things to get right if authors like myself want readers to give our books a shot. If you would like a sample of my work and the world of Wizardoms, check out Wizardoms: Legend of Shadowmar on Amazon or another eBook seller. It is a great lead in to this series and others.

Thanks for sharing!

As a long-time fan of Indiana Jones, and an epic fantasy addict, this has been a fun series to write. The way this rag-tag band of characters interact is perhaps my favorite element, although crafting puzzles, traps and magical artifacts for them to pursue has been a blast as well. If anyone is wondering, this series is a great way to start reading books set in the world of Wizardoms. Other great entry points are Fate of Wizardoms and Thief for Hire (the first book in The Outrageous Exploits of Jerrell Landish). Lastly, if you want a free and fun into story to this world and my writing, check out Legend of Shadowmar. The eBook is FREE on all reading platforms and it can be a gateway to any of the series listed above (it is the prequel of prequels).

Thanks to everyone for checking out my books!

Do you have any advice for new writers?

Reply
Jeffrey L. Kohanek
3/18/2023 10:35:18 am

Sure. A lot of it is the same advice I received years ago when I was getting started.

First, I suggest you write and write a lot. The more you do it, the better you get.

Second, you need to share your work with others. At the start, it might be to beta readers or critique groups as you hone your craft. When you are ready, pursue publishing but not until you do the next tip.

Third, and perhaps most critical, have your stories EDITED. While you can and should edit yourself and even use analytical SW like Autocrit or Pro Writing Aid, you need another person to read and provide input on your work. A skilled editor will help with consistency, grammar, punctuation, and ensuring that your sentence styles are varied. You should get the editing complete BEFORE you pursue publishing, regardless if you try the traditional route and seek a literary agent or if you self publish. You only get one chance to make a good first impression.

Lastly, covers are critical to selling books. People won't even take the time to check out your book if your cover doesn't look professional and doesn't suit its genre. Ensure the cover does its job, or you are wasting your time.

I could go on and on because there are so many aspects to being an author, but those are the big ones to get right at the start.

I'm a food Historian. My question is, are the feasts/meals mentioned in detail? If so, which culture are they based upon? ( Nordic, Celtic? other?)

Reply
Jeffrey L. Kohanek
3/21/2023 07:27:07 pm

The foods are mentioned but not in the detail you might find in some other fantasy books, such as works by George RR Martin. The types of foods eaten depend on the region where the story takes place. For instance, most of this particular book is set in a nation called Balmoria, which is largely patterned after the middle east, including the foods. You'll find flatbread, spiced lamb or spiced chicken, rice, steamed vegetables, and seafood during the meals in this region.

Other regions include cultural influences ranging from northern to southern Europe to India to Central America, and the foods often align with the climate and culture.
