But, the swearing was a little much. Your work is amazing, but I know more people would love them even more if you could replace some of those words. You could use substitutes for them, and give the story emotion, but your work wouldn't have any cursing. It's just an idea. <br />Anyway, you are an astounding writer, and I know you'll go a long way. ;)<br />God Bless!LHEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-79002164372480299562017-08-20T16:47:10.031-05:002017-08-20T16:47:10.031-05:00You're welcome!

The backstory of my series is that Romans, the colony of Roanoke, and pirates were mythically sucked from the Atlantic to an island at different times in history. There is a shield of sorts keeping them hidden from the outside world, so the three cultures remain largely preserved as the centuries pass. My series takes place about a generation before God reveals the island.<br />If you want to learn more about the genre, you can start by searching this blog for "Speculative Fiction." That's where I first heard of it.<br />Wow, that sounds really interesting! I've never heard of a photo story series. Best of luck with it!Olivianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-91692719707660328492017-08-18T17:18:26.913-05:002017-08-18T17:18:26.913-05:00Thank you so much, Olivia, that means a lot!
