《Meet the authors showcase edition volume #2 Est. 6/5/2020》A showcase with @NefertitiFenison, author of Looking for hope

So, I have always hold this deep-seated fear that humanity is going to screw up real bad that we have to evacuate ourselves from this blue planet. I also have a what-if scenario going on with a friend of mine and the scenario is basically us imagining a future in which humans realize their mistakes regarding climate change but somehow are bound to repeat the same mistake. It is pessimistic, right? But even in the darkness there is always hope. So, that's how my book was conceived: to provide hope that even if there are humans who don't learn from history the youngster most definitely would.
I struggled (and still am struggling) with making the plot focused on just the effects of unregulated mining activities have on an endangered species. That was the initial storyline but the more I wrote the more my book became more character-driven instead of plot-driven.
I enjoy fleshing out my characters! Each of them has their own unique personality and I feel like I have known them forever and that they are my dearest buddies.

I have received mixed reviews. Some readers don't like my very long chapters and my tendency to dump info here and there, which I can understand. Some readers think my characters are childish and don't behave their age or that the book feels rushed, which I can also understand. Those who love my book, though, they love it because they can relate to my characters and their friendships.

It is supposed to be a duology but we will see. I am currently working on restructuring everything because there are some parts of my story I am not exactly happy with.
I want my readers to remember that kindness goes a long way. Most of my characters are kind to each other and that is how they survive in a world where they are sometimes unwanted by society.

I would say write what makes you happy and write what you enjoy writing. Readers can tell if you are passionate about your stories or not.

Yes, Nardho and Moira are pretty similar to how I am in real life. Nardho is a romantic who sees the good in people he cares about and that is how I treat those closest to me. Moira is a person with a lot of self-doubt who tries to feel belong and accepted. I am just like her, honestly--I constantly battle low self-esteem and my loved ones are my anchors.
I believe the relationships between my characters would be the main appeal.
I plan to turn my novels into a stage play someday. Think of Shakespeare but not tragic and set in a distant solar system centuries from now instead of on Earth.

World After Calamity
Two hundred years ago, the Calamity occurred, an event which changed the terrain and climates of the world immensely, shifting continents and regions, developing new religions and altering life itself. The existence of magic and monsters was no longer able to be concealed, and until the Sage came and ended the Calamity, the world lived in chaos. Now, two hundred years later, two primary forces in the globe, united under a single government, oversee all magical and supernatural crime and disruptions, working from the shadows and in the light to ensure the safety of all. Something has upset the delicate balance the Sage created, however, and monsters sightings occur more and more frequently, and the signs of a second Calamity have begun to reveal themselves. At the same time, young superhumans begin training to fight against the forces causing this, to protect the mundane from monsters, and to ensure ancient artifacts are preserved and secured. This is the story of Team Lusvar, a unit of extraordinary superhumans, the world they live in, and the missions they're sent on and trials they face.

The Chronicle of a Witch
It is a story about a young girl that abruptly transmigrated into the body of another young girl (at least in appearance) in another world filled with Magic. She notices that she becomes a Dungeon Master and for a thousand years... she lives a lazy life. However, one day, she lost all of her power and she is kicked out of her Dungeon! And the world's changed that video games level and classes governed the power system of the new world! What will she do as a weak and fragile girl? Will she get her power back? How will she survive in the harsh world? Author's note: I will update daily if possible and each chapter is around 2,000 words. Gores, Sexual Contents, and Traumatising Contents are limited and I try my best not to write them. However, for the progress of the story, I can't help but write some of them in the latter part of the story. However, don't expect them too much ^_^ English is not my native language, so there might be grammatical errors (maybe a lot), but I'll try to fix them, so constructive critiques will be appreciated (^_^)
