Hello world! I write fantasy short stories, novellas, and novels. When I'm not doing that, I'm watching movies with my husband and our two dogs.

Character development this go round, since there are more instances of 'downtime' for the characters in the sequel, and I want readers to know who the characters are in depth for the third and final book.

Darnell is a 12 year old sorcerer who thought he was going home at the end of book 1 but ended up in Tulsa in the 1920s. Book 2 will pick up right where book 1 left off, and Darnell, his newly rescued mother, and their librarian friends must try to time travel back home.

None that I know of, but if you’re on Discord there are multiple writing forums.

Considering pulling my stuff from Amazon, but for an indie author just starting out it’s a big decision.
But not having a choice in AI telling readers what my characters intentions are and thus indirectly what my intentions are disgusts me.

What kind of stuff do you like to write?
December 9, 2025 at 11:02 PM
Yes; there is my blog on my website authorjdbennett.com, I have an ebook that is available for free everywhere but Amazon books2read.com/magicscience..., and my middle grade adventure book, Darnell and the Librarians, is available to borrow on hoopla.
