As I continue trying to home newer stories, I’ve been struck by the question: What is high fantasy? Some publishers say it’s any story set in a new world. Others say it implies elves and dwarves. Still others expect swords and magic as weapons. I wonder…what if we wielded ordinary objects that housed magic? Would we be in a high fantasy story? Or do we need royals for that?
Do you think epic fantasy and high fantasy are the same? If not, reply in the comments with the differences.
“Quench to the Hilt” is now available to read on Amazon! For a limited time, you can download the anthology it’s in as part of Kindle Unlimited. You have only a couple months left to do so! Otherwise, you’ll need to buy the e-book or order the paperback. I may publish an epilogue later, so make sure you have read it before then!
“Quench to the Hilt” is the last story in the anthology. Go get your blacksmith hippo shifter x dark hero love! Extreme heat awaits.
Originally, this story was going to be contributed to an anthology this year. However, the anthology date has been pushed back past the end of the year, and the dragonfly story continues to evolve. It’s unclear whether this story will grow from novelette into novella length. If it becomes a novella, it may be queried to publishers instead.
We’ve seen plenty of fire-breathing dragons, but what about dragons of the other elements? Enter Theodyne, a rock dragon hybrid with a stony secret.
Don’t miss that there are two stories in this sequence, coming out back-to-back this fall!
Ready for the sweaty weather to finally cool down? This winter, dig into a different kind of heat in the snowstorm with a yeti shifter. More info to come.
