Introducing My Hunter Character

I submitted my fairy tale retelling to Beyond the Bookery. Hip-hip-hooray!

Everybody do a happy dance. 🙂

Another character bio is here, and it’s on the significant male character in my Red Riding Hood retelling.

Yes, I do have a huntsman in my story. Actually, he’s a prince, too.

Prince Deverell is of the country Lusanda. He’s fourteen years old, and like the people of Lusanda, he has the inborn ability to fly, as well as shoot fire and wind from his hands. Assigned by Elohim (the Supreme Creator God of the world), he hunts for monsters created by the alchemist, who’s intent on harming the weak and helpless.

Introducing My Red Riding Hood Character

I’m close to submitting by Red Riding Hood story, you all!

The official publishing date is March 3rd, and it’ll be in an anthology from Beyond the Bookery. Hooray!

In the meantime, here’s a bio my main female character, who’s the Little Red Riding Hood character, of course:

Thirteen-year-old Nan is an orphan who lives with and works for Madame Ethel, an innkeeper in the country Bueron. She’s kind, smart, and a problem solver. She has a physical disability that slows her gait, and when trekking through the woods, she needs a walking stick. Having a prideful streak, she likes to show she can do things herself. She loves reading and dogs, and she can shoot a crossbow (as long as her legs don’t wobble underneath her).

A Book Theme . . . And a Movie

As I continue sharing with you my Red Riding Hood retelling, I’ll ask a question: What is the theme of my story? Or a theme, anyway?

Let me stall in answering by talking about a movie I’ve just seen.

I watched the movie version of Phyllis Reynolds Naylor’s Shiloh.

Wolves and Swans and Unicorns. Oh my!

Are you looking for more books to add to your library? I write book reviews from a Christian perspective for Jennifer Hallmark’s column “Friday Fiction: Books From Off the Beaten Track.” The following are what’s on her column so far, and there’ll be more on the way.
