Long time no post. I've been keeping quiet about my book the past while for 'reasons,' but soon I will be making some big announcements. In the meantime, why not check out my new Substack page. 🤓 I've written an article about a short story competition I entered. The short story will be posted there too, once the judging is finished. 🔗 https://silverbranchpress.substack.com/p/my-first-battleThis is Syribil, she's a prominent character from the Magia trilogy by @birgitberg_author. I'm just a third of the way into this epic story, but so far it has been a very enjoyable read, with well fleshed out characters, and a beautifully crafted fantasy world that's easy to get lost in. The descriptions are so vivid and clear that I was compelled to draw Syribil, as I saw her in my mind. I hope I did her justice. The Magia Trilogy is available from Amazon 🔗 https://a.co/d/8ZtRVOg @birgitberg_author #FantasyNovel #Magia #amazonbooks #instabooks
