#DecemberWorldbuilders 1: Snippet: "taught" or "teaching" etc.

This bit is from THE SECOND STONE, Book 3, which has a lot of teaching/learning about science and gods and how the two are connected--because they are. As Hans gets schooled here by Dorilian, who knows... a few things. #epicfantasy

#NovemberWorldbuilders 21: Any morals different from Earth's societies?

List of worldbuilding prompts for fantasy authors, for month of November.

If you love a particular book &/or author, please consider leaving them a favorable review on your preferred site or retailer. Word of mouth goes a long way for indie authors & publishers, & just a few words from YOU can truly help. Thank you!
