Betsy ColeAuthor Betsy ColeFrom the age of three, I was storytelling and writing poetry. I found my writing quest began with fairytales and folktales as I dug away at the lore through college. I started reading novel series at the age of seven, soaking up ever book I could get my hands on. I was always fascinated with High Fantasy, and Tolkien is still my favorite. I would say my writing style plays off the words of Tolkien, with a heavy fairy/folk tale element. I simply learned how to write through the ink of the greats. But my true voice took decades to find.My journey continued through college, as I took every kind of writing class I could get my hands on. I also tutored writing throughout my school career and took a brief job as a journalist. That is when I fell in love with ancient text and Mythology and got out of journalism. I majored in Anthropology and intertwined my passion for lore. Since then, I have been incorporating all of these creative tales into my own writing.My biggest advice to anyone wanting to write a novel is, to read like you have a thirst. Write as much as you can each day, even if you toss it later, it's molding you. And never give up, even when the rejection letters start flowing in. The will of a true writer is a powerful thing and an unstoppable force. It took a long time to become a novelist, and I wasn't shown the correct path to take. I learned that once the word count was over, the real work began! My rewriting of fairytales spun into a novel, thus whirling into a series.After almost three years, I have finally completed my first Epic Fantasy novel! THE REALMS OF THE GRIMMDORFLICH STAR. As I have finished the first novel of the anticipated eight-book series. Watch for book two, coming out next year! I am currently hacking away at the third novel of the series.Each novel in the series consists of its own epic Mythology, glossary companion, book within the book, and new languages throughout. I look forward to releasing all eight books in the series! Watch for the upcoming Gallar Cone series and various flash fiction! Thank you for reading! Read More Read Less
