A peek at my fantasy office. No, really! There's a delightful misconception in the literary world, a near-legendary tale that authors are fueled purely by coffee—cup after cup of that intoxicating brew, our muse for every page turned and every tale spun. But here's a little secret from my corner of the fantasy realm: while most authors are downing espressos and lattes, I'm sipping on apple cider. Yes, you read that right. Sparkling apple juice is my potion of choice, the golden elixir that fuels my tales of enchanting worlds and passionate shifters.

Mira Darkstorm - The Shethera Herder

Fantasy romance, A stunning blonde in a flowing white gown feeds a sprig of leaves to a lamb in the mid afternoon

"For the longest time, they've constantly fought as if they weren't father and son. Truthfully, it's tiring trying to keep a family together when they're bound and determined to fall apart at the seams." - Mira, the Shethera herder

Song of the Wind: A Character Introduction


A stunning blonde woman waits for her husband in a grove of roses and wildflowers as the sun sets in the distance
Mira still waiting for Skoll to return home

If there's one word to describe Mira Darkstorm it's: devoted. Hmm, two words actually. She's incredibly clumsy too. Let's start over, there are two words that make up the whole of Mira and it's devoted clumsiness. Wait, that's not quite right either.
 
Silliness aside, she's a woman hopelessly in love. I won't go into details about her weight, height, as I'd like to leave that for an omnibus(with artwork!) but Mira is mirrored after the countless women that faithfully wait for their husbands to return home from a long journey. 

And she's been waiting for Skoll Darkstorm to return for a very, very, long time.

The First Avatar of the Fenrir Ancient

Well, when you happen to fall in love with the Big, Bad, Wolf what else is there to expect? Nothing but heartbreak. Nothing but sorrow mixed in with a sprinkle or two of happiness. Yet Mira will take those heavy doses of sadness for a mere taste of bliss again.
 
I often portray Mira as a clumsy woman that can't help but look to the bright-side of situations on matter the consequences. She's tragic in that way. Always seeking the good, even in the worst. Does she deserve to be tortured? I often wondered to myself. Of course, a happy ending is never given freely. 
Happiness forever after must be earned. Therefore, when I write her story, I'll make certain she's scratching and clawing her way to that blissful ending. Even if it only lasts for a few moments...
 
See how Mira's side story plays out in Chronicles of Zaloria - Song of the Wind. The sequel debuts in 2023!
