I can honestly say that writing a chapter in The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy jumpstarted my entire writing career. Since that point, I have gone on a book signing tour with several other authors (Wen Spencer and Tee Morris), gotten to pitch this book in Barnes & Noble and Flights of Fantasy, and entered into a life that I had dreamed about and yet never really thought I could have.

The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy is a how-to guide to writing fantasy. And so much more…

Hidden in its pages are rules to writing this genre, advice on worldbuilding and character setup, storyboarding and outlining. But you can find this kind of help in a lot of the “how-to-write” books on the market today. What makes “The Guide” so unique, however, is the wealth of OTHER knowledge contained in it: chapters on medieval medicine, mythology and how to incorporate it into your world, medieval clothing and more. In short, The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy takes all those tedious reference books off your shelves and condenses them down into something good to start with.

"Comprehensive, with much advice on historical settings, weapons, combat, world building and such, and fantasy writers can profit by it."
- Piers Anthony, author of the “Xanth” series

"Fantasy writers live in the realm of imagination, and in that realm there is a magical volume filled with all the knowledge they will ever need to write their fantasy novel. “The Complete Guide” lives up to its name and goes beyond the ordinary."
- Jeanine Berry, FictionFactor.com,
Author of “Dayspring Dawning” and “Dayspring Destiny”
