Whispers of the Skyborne

The Devices of War trilogy started as a challenge. I needed to write something different right after I'd brutally failed almost an entire cast of characters in another series.

This is by far one of my favorite worlds. I love how the people live with the world. This series will always be dear to me.

Synn was a difficult character to get to know. On the outside, he's reserved so trying to write his character in the third person point of view was nearly impossible for me. The first, I don't know, eight drafts were just thrown out because they sucked so terribly.

I didn't get Synn's character until I dipped into first person.

My favorite part about writing this book in particular was developing the new ships and the new technology. I spent hours and days researching how planes were designed originally. There are some neat, neat books on this. If you're ever bored sometime and wanting to learn something fun or new, research how planes were first designed. That's a fun research project you'll enjoy.
