We've been hard at work on the second half of The Relic in The Fortress, and hope the newsletter can be an inside look at what we've got going on!

Peter's "first" (this is in a flashback) big fight comes up after this scene. He gets to see Rallo's Velsha martial arts in action, too (as well as Rallo's extreme confidence).

Peter's love interest isn't introduced until the next book, but they bond over their love of everything sweet. Candy, tarts, cakes, if it's sugar then it's good.

The Relic In The Fortress is only about halfway done, but you can sign up for our newsletter at www.nelbrea.com for updates and get a copy of our short story, Echo, set in the same world of Nelbrea!

Great! We have part 1 of 4 fully drafted, and are about halfway through part 2, with the skeleton of 3 and 4 ready to go.

Right. It's a simple concept, eh?

Peter is a hugger to anyone he's close to, with a firm handshake to anyone else respectful. If you're rude (or worse), you'll be lucky to even have a friendly nod.

There is not much better than describing food. One of these days we'll get an in-universe cookbook done. Just gotta actually write out the recipes proper. For now I'll settle for making my own mouth water.

This is one of my favorite things to do, too. I'll also always set up a library in any game that I can, just to collect every book.

This is such a good character building scene for Peter. The realization that Dredd is not just his "asshole superior", but a man that actively harmed people, specifically his own family, and is the direct reason he is stuck where he is.

Similar answer to @jonah.nelbrea.com but with Chrono Trigger. One of the first RPGs to ever grace my old tube TV. It was absolutely essential in forming my love for all things time travel, and the feeling that every character matters and should have their own "slice" of the story.

I really enjoy this scene. It's the first big showcase of how firearms work in The Relic in The Fortress, while also being the beginning of another key moment between Peter and Paul (not fully shown here).

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthor #FantasyBook

Definitely part of why he's one of Peter's closest friends.

I think Clort would be the one with the most to offer. He's seen enough of the world, and would add some levity to anything I had going on. Goblins always want to throw some song and dance into things.

The Road, meets The Gunslinger. There's no hope, nobody is coming to help you, and there's no point in making friends, because they'll all shoot you in the back. There is some backstabbing in #Nelbrea, but the core themes are hope, mutual aid, and the power of your friends. With cowboys.

Another milestone checked off our list. This has been such a project in itself, and I envision it evolving much more before it's "done". Just have it exist is a great step one, though!

Once again, so proud of @jonah.nelbrea.com and I. Formidable team, we are.

#writingcommunity #author #fantasybook

At the beginning? Not at all. Peter has grown up excelling at most things he attempts. However, that only puts a bigger target on his back from the Commanding officers of the Fortress.

I would make the argument that Peter is happy, but absolutely not satisfied.

#writingcommunity

It can sometimes be difficult to balance the creative aspect, and the marketing/networking aspect of the whole writing process. This week has been great for meeting a lot of authors. And we are getting close to having the newsletter ready to release!

Dredd is a fun one to write. He's a miserable old man wishing for a past he knows he'll never have, and takes it out on all of the recruits walking through his Fortress. Having Peter and Dredd bump heads constantly makes for some fun back and forth.

Ooh, boy is it ever. Luckily Peter isn't alone when things go south.
