《Meet the authors showcase edition volume #2 Est. 6/5/2020》A showcase with @Sydneycl2050, author of Between the Redwoods

so in 2017/2018 I met someone that really taught me that sometimes people are in bad situations but a lot of times that isn't the whole story. That person really taught me that sometimes we look at people and their situations in a sort of black and white, type of viewpoint. But the reality of it all is that people are made up of so much more than one mistake. Our mistakes shouldn't define us. So, Between the Redwoods was born on a snowy winter day and I've been working on it for some time now.
Flow... I had all these ideas and scenes that I wanted to write in my head and I needed them to flow into a sort of well-defined story. It was challenging but I think it now flows.
I think the scenes with Wyatt are my favorite I think he's such a complicated person and someone that at a point in time we can all resonate with. Someone's who's really in love with the idea of someone. And who struggles with that person not loving them back.
I've gotten a pretty good response surprisingly, I have my core group of supporters, I will say though that the story is pretty different and slow-moving so i think it's harder to draw people in.
it's a stand-alone novel. I really don't like writing series I like when a book end's for you to be able to imagine where the characters will go and what they will do. I think series sometimes takes that freedom away from the reader.

My mom and my dad met each other unknowingly years before they officially met each other. They only recognized that fact after they'd been married a while and recognized that they were at the same hotel that had a fire years later. the funny thing about the story is that my mom is from the north and my dad is from the south so it's pretty amazing that they were at the same hotel all those years ago. Anyway all that being said, when i found that out i kind of lived by the philosophy that we've probably already met our soulmate and just don't know it yet. so that's one thing i want people to take

write from you're heart and don't let people get you down. A few of my wattpad friends have gotten some pretty harsh reviews as of late and seeing how well they took it really showed me that if you're confident in your story and love your story then that's all that matters.

She shares some similarities with me, probably her being a recluse, and her confidence issues.
It's a fun story, you can't really tell where it's going, I just had a book reading and a lot of the people there just fell in love with the characters Owen and thought the story was going so many different directions. There are so many cliff-hangers, i think it'll keep new readers interested.
Yes actually i love suspense so i already have my next book in progress. I have a few words to describe it by, 18th century, murder, and arranged marriage. I think it will be really amazing I'm excited to start it.

Celestial Spark
Mages traditionally make poor fodder, but with proper training and motivation, possess near limitless potential. For mage teams, the battle camps of the Upper Realms provide both, with missions ranging from orc hunts to political espionage. This tale follows one such team of four who strive to prove themselves in a world that would rather overlook them. Loyalty, honour, and devotion are contrasted by avarice, treachery, and apathy, though at times it can be difficult to separate vice from virtue. For though all people, whether they hail from the peripheries or the kingdom capital, are subjects whose fates are bound to the stars, their choices must be their own. Any comments or questions are welcomed.

System Supervillain
I was there when it happened. When the walls of reality came crashing down upon us. When everything changed. I was there. I watched it happen. There wasn’t anything I could do, of course. When two veritable demigods are fighting to the death, getting caught in between is a great way to end up very dead. Or worse. That’s when it happened. Raw time crashed with pure paradox, and the universe itself screamed in torment. Night turned to day turned to yesterday and tomorrow and blue and yellow and whale and petunia, and then it snapped back, all at once, with a thunderous roar that was not heard but felt. And then I saw the blue box for the first time. ------------ A System Apocalypse event happens in a world of superheroes, like you would see in the comic books. What happens when the world changes, and heroes and villains are now bound by a System that limits their powers? What will change, and what will remain the same? This story will incorporate Champions/HERO System 5th Edition rules. There will be dice rolls determining the action, and blue boxes with lots of crunchy numbers. If you're not down for that, there are plenty of other stories on this site that you'll like. But if that sounds fun to you, then welcome aboard, and I invite you to see what happens when someone becomes a System Supervillain.
