Celebrate Your Success Celebrate Your Success By Megan Cutler | October 19, 2015 | Comments 1 comment The life of a writer is not for the faint of heart. Every profession has its up and downs but, I think, those related to artistic professions are particularly poignant. I’ve never met another writer who didn’t question if they should give up. I’ve never met another writer that claimed with absolute confidence their work … Read More Read More
SFFS – A Touch of Magic SFFS – A Touch of Magic By Megan Cutler | October 17, 2015 | Comments 13 comments My excerpt this week comes from Island of Lost Forevers, the first book in the Mystic Island Trilogy. Breathing deep to steady his nerves, Damian lowered his defenses. He couldn’t sense emotional echoes the way Catilen did, but he had other ways of tracking people. Everyone left a distinctive energy signature. With a bit of … Read More Read More
A Small Mound of Stones A Small Mound of Stones By Megan Cutler | August 14, 2015 | Comments 4 comments Holding the image of safety in her mind, Morulin lit the candle and upended the contents of a small velvet pouch on the table, leaving a small mound of stones. She tried to calm the butterflies in her stomach by reminding herself this magick worked. She knew it did; her mother had used it several … Read More Read More
The Setting as a Character The Setting as a Character By Megan Cutler | May 18, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment One characteristic of epic fantasy is the scale of its setting. Epic tales take place in vast worlds, full of interesting cities, cultures and landmarks.

Character Introduction: The Sorcerer Character Introduction: The Sorcerer By Megan Cutler | April 20, 2015 | Comments 1 comment A few weeks ago, I reminisced about the creation of Island of Lost Forevers‘s leading lady, Catilen Taylor. Every protagonist needs at least one plucky companion, don’t they? We originally considered Catilen’s closest friend (and fellow kook), Damian Cooke, the story’s main character. Until we realized the character most impacted by the book’s events, the … Read More Read More

Character Introduction: The Empath Character Introduction: The Empath By Megan Cutler | March 9, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment As I chip away at the final book in the trilogy, telling the end of a story I started more than ten years ago, my mind drifts back to the days when the Mystic Island was nothing but a couple of wispy ideas. I don’t think I’ve devoted enough time to discussing the conception and … Read More Read More
A Life Resumed A Life Resumed By Megan Cutler | August 11, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment A year ago we packed our life into storage and flew across the ocean for an amazing adventure. It wasn’t easy, selling our first house on short notice, leaving behind everything we spent a decade building, but we did it because we’ve always believed in following our dreams. I never imagined marrying a teacher would … Read More Read More
