They’re one short of an American version of the Musicians of Bremen (or whatever it’s called).

#FantasyIndiesOctober Day 7: POV & tense! So far, all my published books are first-person & from Elysia’s POV. You only ever get to see things from her viewpoint. She’s your guide & you will get inside her head too. I prefer to change tenses, operating between past & present.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 6: WIP villains? In “A Song of Vengeance,” Elysia has a kill list: 1. Brent Ryan 2. Rodrick Pryor 3. Gideon Grey 4. Jon Magris 5. Elver Garrett 6. Marcus Nyqvist

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 5: I’m pretty sure Elysia would give this pagan festival a miss. Also, Halloween doesn’t exist in her world, but the Day of the Devil does. It doesn’t end well — see Book 2 (Shadows Under the Shade).

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 4: Notions of bravery differ from person to person. I can’t pinpoint what bravery is except that some altruism is involved. Elysia doesn’t accept that she’s brave, but she is very willing to do the difficult thing, and some altruism is involved…

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 2: One of my favourite spooky movies is a black & white one. “The Haunting.” It’s creepy, suspenseful, and atmospheric. An absolute classic!

Wil Chan @wilchanwrites.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Surprisingly, the sales for “Escape From Titan,” which only came out 8 weeks ago, is almost overtaking “Ashes of Eden” (released in July 2025)! I think I marketed Ashes of Eden badly. It should get more love because I really enjoyed writing that one!

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 1: 👋I’m Wil. Last month, I was more out than in. Let’s try again! I had 2 months of basically writing nothing of “A Song of Vengeance.” I’m going try to get back into it this month, BUT I’m also getting ready to release an audiobook, and doing the cover revamps.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 28: Yes, I do DNF and quite often, but I don’t tell anybody about it and I don’t leave any review or rating whatsoever. I read many, many samples without ever going any further. Life is short and if you can’t obligate me by the first 10%, then it ain’t happening…

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 20: Funnily enough, I was called out for using “gods damn it” too much in “Ashes of Eden,” which was true. I tend to use adverbs. Deep down, Elysia still believes the world is a beautiful place, which is the reason for her purple way of describing it.

Important update to my audiobooks: If you've been thinking about listening to Books Two and Three of my series on an all-you-can-listen plan at Audible, better start now: those two will no longer be available via the plans effective 09/17/2026! Audible's decision, not mine.

Book covers for the Servants of the Moon and Sun series.
Talia: Heir to the Fairy Realm, Talia: On the Shore of the Sea, Fairy Court in Exile, Mother of Exiles and Queen of Thorns.
