I've just caught up on The Eight Chant Series and had an amazing time with all 3 books. Yet somehow books 2 and 3 have under 100 ratings on Goodreads. Talk about criminally underhyped! Recommended for lovers of magical creatures, great characters and fresh stories with a classic feel. #booksky

3 books laying side by side on a bench with their cover sides up. The books are: Seasons of Albadone, A Contract In Sol Forne, and A Rescue in Vizen. All three are by Élan Marché and Christopher Warman.

I appreciate your kind words. It's their only review on the profile, so obviously something rubbed them the wrong way. We put a lot of ourselves in these stories, so it was a bummer to read that. Especially since we're really enjoying writing the fourth one currently. I hope you keep enjoying them!

It's already hard being an indie author, and then some loser posts this shit on my book...

Has to be the funniest line edit I've ever gotten 🤣

On a manuscript, the name "Rovan" is crossed out and replaced with "Rovan"

Vaelin is an ancient djinn, introduced in A Contract in Sol Forne. After her essence was trapped, the elvenfolk used her power to grant them whatever they wished. After freeing herself, Vaelin took on the physical aspect of an elvenfolk. However, her enslavement did not end there... #booksky

The Testament of Ann Lee has night shots that are lit like they used to do them in the 90s. I didn't know that was still legal.

I'm not hitting my writing goal. Writing while facing unemployment sucks. But this isn't my first rodeo. 🍁 I wrote Seasons of Albadone after being laid off 🍷 I wrote A Contract in Sol Forne after being laid off 🌧️ I wrote A Rescue in Vizen after being laid off Things will work out.

Adriel is the first character introduced in Seasons of Albadone, and perhaps its most pivotal. She is Mother Olla’s apprentice enchantress, raised to take her place. Warm and well-liked, unlike her teacher, Adriel loves foraging for rare ingredients, exploring, and foods with unique textures.

People often ask about how Elan and I write as a couple, if we each split chapters or POVs. The process is pretty simple: 1. We outline together 2. I vomit draft solo 3. She edits solo 4. We go out and argue about the process in front of concerned strangers 5. We line edit together

“We need to free her,” the girl insisted. “She will die if she stays down here.” “She… You mean the melk?” Rovan asked. “I was brought here to care for her. We are bonded, like sisters." - A Rescue in Vizen #theeighthchantseries

I've had this happen before and it's a magical feeling, when a character surprises you and leads the story into unexpected territory. It's a lot of fun.

A three-panel comic about books in The Eighth Chant Series.
Panel 1: The cover of A Seasons of Albadoone says, “I am a standalone novel!”
Panel 2: A hand points to another book cover titled A Contract in Sol Forne, asking, “What about that guy?”
Panel 3: Seasons of Albadone tases book 2, responding, “Did I stutter?”

I've only lived in Minneapolis since September, but I'm happy to call it home. The resilience of the people here is nothing short of heroic. I love my neighbors and this city.
