It’s been on my to-do list for a very long time, but I have now, finally, set up my website to take direct orders for autographed copies of my books. You can also get the entire set of Pirates & Faith (and eventually Makilien) at a discount by buying directly from me. Just follow the link to take a look. http://www.mollyevangeline.com/autographed-books.html

Big announcement today. With the new month starting and the release of Courage (Book 2) fast approaching, I’ve lowered the eBook version of the first book of my Makilien Trilogy down to only 99¢. I’m hoping many more people will join in the adventure this way. You can get it for Kindle from Amazon and from Smashwords right now, and the new price will soon show up on Barnes&Noble.com and other

I know, it’s been a while for one of these posts, but here, at last, is the next post in my A-Z Makilien series. Indiya (pronounced like “India”) is the only female dragon in Truth. She was the first of the dragons I created and the first one to make an appearance in Makilien. I never had dragons in the original story, nor had I ever written about dragons before. I never realized how much I

And here it is!  The cover of Courage, the second book of the Makilien Trilogy. I have been waiting with giddy anticipation to finally share it. I think it almost has to be my favorite of any cover I’ve done so far. Maybe because the “feel” of it matches the story so well. I am extremely pleased with how it turned out. When you begin a project like this, especially when you’re taking the photos

I love the whole Courage costume, but the vambraces have to be close to my favorite piece. This is something I had wanted to try for a long time, but this was the first costume where I had definite need to do it.  What are they made of? Craft foam. I came across this ingenious way of making fake armor quite a few years ago (again during our Lord of the Rings obsession phase). If you put “craft

And here it is, the chain-mail. I procrastinated this piece for so long, even going so far as to contemplate going without it.Certainly glad I didn’t do that, because, you will see soon, it really adds a lot. The thing about the chain-mail, is it felt like it was going to be harder than it really was. Once I got into it, I really enjoyed working on it. It’s killer on your hands, but it’s

This is a part of the costume I’ve had in my mind for a really long time, ever since I wrote Truth. I had wanted to make it for just as long so it was a lot of fun to see it finally come to be. There are technically two versions of this outfit that Makilien wears in the trilogy. The first time you read about it is in Truth. It’s Makilien’s ceremony outfit. That’s the first version of the outfit

The first piece of the Courage costume is one of my favorite pieces. It was a type of dress I had wanted to make for a long time. I’d never before made one that laced up in the front. For the pattern, I used McCall’s 5499. At first, I was pretty leery about using it. These types of patterns that contain all sizes from girls’ through women’s in one package usually are not the highest quality

A few of the supplies I used. In the past couple months, one of my focuses has been working on the costume that will be on the cover of Courage, the second book of my Makilien Trilogy. It was one of the biggest things left to complete on the way to publication. It has also been one of the biggest costume projects I’ve ever undertaken. There were so many pieces involved, pieces that really took

I’ve been planning to review movies for a while, but I certainly never expected the first one to be on Twilight. The thing is, I’ve considered writing a post on Twilight for a long time, but, ever since the books and movies exploded into our lives, I have adamantly refused to read or watch them. I wanted nothing to do with them for very specific reasons, and since I hadn’t watched or read them, I

With the closing of 2011, I reached another milestone in my writing career. I have now sold over 1,000 copies of my books. It’s been a goal for a long time, and with the popularity of eBooks and the success I’ve had with them, I was able to make that goal a lot sooner than I would have otherwise. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has bought my books, reviewed them, shared them, and spread

So, I’ve decided to go into the new year with a fresh new blog theme. It’s been a while since I had anything different. It’s always fun to start a new year with a change. 2011 was an interesting year. It was certainly my best as far as book sales. I was incredibly blessed with the number of eBook sales I had, particularly last month. I’m very thankful and encouraged by it. I guess you could say

The very last post of 2011, and it is an exciting one for me. Yesterday, I had one of the biggest surprises I’ve ever had in the five years I’ve been writing professionally. I checked my Amazon sales ranking and discovered that the Kindle version of The Pirate Daughter’s Promise was #92 on the Top 100 Paid Kindle books under Religious Historical Fiction for a while.

There’s no doubt about it, The Lord of the Rings movies were a turning point in my writing journey. They introduced me to epicness. I’m sure I never would have written my Makilien Trilogy, or my current and future fantasy projects had I not watched the movies and read the books. Yet, even before that, the first seeds of my love for epic fantasy were planted when my mom read The Hobbit to me and

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to

Struggling with a strange lack of creativity and ambition over the summer, I tried to create a book trailer for Truth to coincide with its release. That never ended up happening, and I only managed to make myself frustrated when I tried. However, with things going a lot better lately as far as creativity, I finally sat down over the weekend and put together a trailer that I’m very excited about.

Of all the characters in Makilien, Halandor is one of people I love most. I love his story and just who he is. He is probably one of the very first characters I ever created for Makilien way back in the original, and he really hasn’t changed much. Unfortunately, it was so long ago, I don’t remember much about his creation process. At this point, he feels like an old friend who’s been around

  God really is the center of the books I write. The characters, their struggles, their triumphs—they all display how God works in the lives of His people. I love to show how He can take trials and horrible situations and use them for good. I equally love showing how He can take weak, imperfect individuals and use them to accomplish amazing things. That’s really the main theme in Truth.   At

Over the weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to see Aaron Shust in concert for the first time. It was quite an exciting thing for me because, not only do really I love his music, but it’s been very inspirational to me in my writing and being an author.   Back when I was finishing The Pirate Daughter’s Promise, Aaron’s song My Savior My God was on the radio a lot.

Description: They have always scared him in the past -- the Rangers, with their dark cloaks and shadowy ways. The villagers believe the Rangers practice magic that makes them invisible to ordinary people. And now 15-year-old Will, always small for his age, has been chosen as a Ranger's apprentice. What he doesn't yet realize is that the Rangers are the protectors of the kingdom. Highly trained

Friendship is one of the biggest themes in the whole Makilien Trilogy. So many of my characters would have been injured or worse if not for the aid of a friend. There is nothing like a friend who understands you and would do anything for you. It’s friendship like that I wanted at the center of Makilien. So for this post, I’m going to focus on a few of my favorite friendships from Truth.

Because, really, you can’t have one without the other. It’s the two of them together that makes them so entertaining at times.   Elandir and Elmorhirian are Elf brothers in Makilien—sons of an Elven lord. As I have mentioned before, I love writing about sibling relationships. These two were especially fun. They are the comic relief in the story, and they love that. They love mischief, yet at

  The world of Dolennar has been growing and developing in my mind for almost ten years. I love epic medieval and fantasy landscapes. Depending on the area, Dolennar as a mix of English countryside, New Zealand, the Northwoods where I’m from, and just random bits put together in my imagination. It started out rather small scale at first, focused on only three or four places, but as the story

Today’s A-Z post is about the stunning and majestic dragon named Carmine. I hardly know where to begin. In writing through Makilien, Carmine has become one of my most favorite characters, even more so than I ever expected when I first created him. He is one of those characters you begin writing with a fairly basic idea and before you know it, the more they grow in your mind and on paper (or

  Today’s A-Z post is about a character who is not an active part of Makilien, but you do hear mention of him scattered throughout the trilogy. As is touched on briefly in Truth, Baltar is very important to the history of Eldor, the main country in the trilogy. He was the leader of seven people who left an oppressed country in the south, journeying north to find a place to settle and serve

Today I’m doing a double review post. I read these books so quickly that it felt more like one book than two.   DragonFire was an interesting sequel to the first three books of the DragonKeeper Chronicles. I can’t say it was quite as good as book 3, but I still loved following all the familiar characters. What made this book fun and different from the ones before is that Kale and Bardon

Over the last few months, I’ve noticed the A-Z posts on other blogs and how fun they looked. I thought it would be an interesting way to promote the release of Truth by writing A-Z posts pertaining to Makilien. I won’t completely follow the rules because I will space my posts out instead of posting every day, but it will be an interesting way to share some “behind the scenes” information about

I’m excited to announce that my newest book, Truth (Makilien Trilogy – Book 1) is now available in eBook format for $2.99!   For some reason it is taking much longer than normal for the paperback to become available on Amazon, but it should only be a couple more days. I will announce it as soon as it is available. For those interested in the eBook, here are the links to purchase it:   Kindle

Back Cover:   Trapped in an evil spell… can the knights of Paladin be rescued? Before vowing his allegiance to Wulder as a knight, Bardon heads to the mountains for solitude. His life is suddenly complicated by a woman and her granddaughter, N’Rae, on a mission to rescue the woman’s son trapped in a chamber of sleep. Bardon learns that more of Paladin’s knights are imprisoned–and suspects

Today, following the release of the cover of Truth, here is the official back cover text:   * * * * *   “What are we living for? Just to live? What is the point? Don’t you think there should be a purpose?”   Trapped in a village no one is allowed to leave, Makilien yearns for the answers to her questions about life and the world outside the village walls. Yet no one but her closest

Today I am excited to share the cover for Truth, book 1 of the Makilien Trilogy. I’ve been working on Makilien for so long, never quite knowing what the covers would look like. I had vague ideas, but it’s never the same when you actually do it. It took me a while to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with the photo, but after playing with it for a couple of hours one afternoon, it suddenly

I’ve added a few new profiles to Enter Dolennar on my Makilien website. I now have profiles for the two enemy races in the Makilien Trilogy—goblins and Shaikes. I am very excited about how they developed during the planning process, especially the Shaikes. It was just recently that their history and appearance came together in my mind, an excellent result of sitting down to paint them. Seeing

Yesterday was an amazing day for me. After coming home from work and sitting down to write almost nonstop since noon, I finished the first draft of Trust, the third and final book of the Makilien Trilogy. The trilogy is now complete. I finished Trust in 4 months and 4 days, quite an accomplishment for me. I thought for sure it would take at least a year. This is a huge moment. I’ve been working

Book Description: Princess Una of Parumvir has come of age and will soon be married. She dreams of a handsome and charming prince, but when the first suitor arrives, she finds him stodgy and boring. Prince Aethelbald from the mysterious land of Farthestshore has traveled far to prove his love--and also to bring hushed warnings of danger. A dragon is rumored to be approaching Parumvir.

  A few days ago, I started working on the final round of editing for Truth before I format the manuscript for print. I’ve been getting so much enjoyment out of it and keep finding myself surprised by how much I am discovering to change or add. Because of this, I wanted to share some of the editing tips and resources I’ve been using.   First, I printed the entire manuscript. On paper, it is

I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t had a chance to do much for new blog posts, but I added a few new things to my Makilien website. I’ve added a profile for Sirion, my third main character of the trilogy, a profile or his race, Half-Elves, and two new place profiles. To see them, visit my “Enter Dolennar” page.

I’ve added to new profiles to “Enter Dolennar” on my Makilien website. One is a profile for Aedan, my second primary character in the trilogy, as well as one of my favorite characters. The other profile is for Elves, one of the primary races in Dolennar.

I've now added the "Free Stuff" page to my Makilien Trilogy website. I will be adding new stuff to it in the next few weeks. Right now I have a desktop wallpaper of the map of Dolennar available for download. I've also changed the link on the map in "Enter Dolennar."

Today I thought I’d write a little about something that has been on my mind lately. Ever since C.S. Lewis’ wonderful illustration of sacrifice in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Christ-like sacrifices can be found all over in Christian fantasy. From a writing standpoint, it would seem this subject has become cliché. I’ve read so numerous times. However, I must respectfully disagree.

It’s been a while since my last post so I thought I’d write one about what’s been going on this month. April has been very busy and a very productive writing month. All winter I had trouble writing, but I’ve finally gotten back into it again. I’m working steadily on Trust. Just yesterday I wrote almost a chapter and a half. I’m very pleased with how it is going and hope things continue to go this

I've added a poll to my blog. For those who have read my Pirates & Faith  series, I would love to know which of the four books was your favorite.   For me as the author, picking a favorite is a very difficult choice. Of course, I love them all, and had a unique experience writing each of them. But if I really had to pick, it would be between Every Tear and A Captain's Heart. I love the emotion

While I was writing Pirates & Faith, I probably spent just as many hours, if not more, researching the early 18th century as I did writing the books. I collected a huge number of links to research pages (many of which are sadly no longer available). Here are a few of my favorite, which I considered the most useful.   A very long list of occupations in Colonial America. Many I had never even

Music can be an author's best friend. I love to listen to a good movie soundtrack or epic music while I'm writing really intense or emotional scenes. Especially the emotional scenes (I've made myself cry listening to the end music from Gladiator on a loop while writing a sad part). For years all I had were my favorite movie soundtracks, but I've recently discovered other composers of epic score.

One of the coolest things I like to do when a book is almost ready for publication is make a book trailer for it. The best part about the trailers is the music. Music really has a way of setting the mood for a story (imagine movies without it!). But affordable stock music that is any good is really hard to come by (especially if you're looking for something epic). I've spent so many frustrating

I have always loved Photoshop brushes and have finally started creating my own. They are so much fun to make and I'm sure I'll have more than I'll ever find a use for so I wanted to start sharing them here. I'll try to post a new brush pack at least once a week. They are free to use both commercially and non commercially. If you use them and have a website or blog, I would appreciate a link back

I've been writing fantasy since I was thirteen and I first saw The Lord of the Rings movies. Since then I've started several fantasy stories and have many more in my head waiting to be written. I think I'd have to say that fantasy writing is my favorite because the possibilities of what can be written are so vast. I wanted to share a few websites I found helpful for fantasy writing.   Here is a

*throws confetti into the air* Today is a very exciting day. After a year and 5 months, I have finally finished writing Courage. It is such a feeling of accomplishment. At 44 chapters it is the longest book I've ever written. I'm not sure what the final word count will be, but it has to be over 100,000. It was an incredible book to write. Nothing I've written has ever challenged me like this book

One of my favorite (and sometimes least favorite) things about being a fantasy writer is naming my characters. Occasionally I'll take a real name and just spell it differently, but the majority of my names are completely made up. It's great because you have the potential to create some really awesome names that suit your character better than any real name could. Plus it makes your characters

I spent uncountable hours online in 2010 reading, researching, and doing all I could to better my writing and further my career as an independent author. There is so much information, but it can take a lot of time to dig through. Now that 2010 is over, I've compiled a list of the sites that I used most often and were of the most benefit to me last year with the hope that they will also benefit

The dreaded book proposal. Some agents require one after you query them, others don't. I thought I would need one when I considered approaching a particular publishing house, so I spent hours and hours researching how to create one. I found it a difficult task. There doesn't seem to be all that much on "fiction" book proposals (while there is an endless amount of information on putting together a

In Truth, the first book of my fantasy trilogy, Makilien, a battle looms throughout the story. When it finally takes place, it only spans the length of one chapter. A long chapter, but still, just one chapter. That worked out perfectly fine with the flow of the book, but not so for book two. That book also involves a battle, but one of a much larger and dire scale. As I approached the time in

Another writing year gone by. 2010 was probably my best year so far. I finished publishing Pirates & Faith, had wonderful feedback, and learned a lot. I feel my writing greatly improved over the last half a year thanks to some of the resources I found, particularly K.M. Weiland's blog. For a while I felt kind of discouraged and lost as to which direction I should take with my writing, but I

From the time I first considered publishing my writing, I hated the thought of trying to write a query letter. When I came to the point recently where that was what I needed to do, I procrastinated it for days. It turned out not to be quite as horrible as I thought. What I found was things always seem worse until you actually start them. Once I started my query letter, the first draft really came

In the last couple weeks, I spent many hours searching for and reading through literary agency websites. It's not as easy as I thought finding reputable agents who represent Christian fiction. Many don't even accept queries unless you've met them personally at a writing conference or you've already been published before. In my search, I found two blogs with good lists of agencies who represent

I've come to the moment of taking a new step in my writing career and ministry. A step out of independent publishing and, hopefully, into traditional publishing. I've begun my search for a literary agent. I never imagined reaching this point, and let me tell you, nothing in writing has been quite as scary as sending out that first query letter.   Writing a query letter has always been something

After quite a long time, I have decided to change the look and layout of my blog to better suit my needs. I've added a few things to the sidebars. I am now selling jewelry on Etsy so I've added that and I will also show the books I am currently reading. As long as I'm doing that, I have decided to start writing book reviews as I go through the books. It's something I've never done before, but I

I always planned to release Finding Faith this month and worked very hard to do so, but I've hit a few delays. I've ordered two proofs now, but on each the cover is much too dark. I really love this cover so I want to get it as perfect as possible. That means at least another week or two before it will be available. I have to wait a week to get each proof. I'm going to order my third one tomorrow

Now that I've finished Finding Faith and it will soon be available, it's amazing to look back. It has taken me six years to write and publish my Pirates & Faith series. I've learned so much and have gone through so much in that time. It has definitely shaped me as a writer.

Once in a while you discover a song that really touches you. That happened recently when I bought It Is Well: A Worship Album by Kutless. I bought it mostly for the song What Faith Can Do and then I heard I'm Still Yours, the very last song on the album. It is a wonderfully powerful and thought provoking song that is especially meaningful at this moment in my life. It also says a lot of the
