Have you grabbed your copy of Rhean?
In this week's newsletter, I wanted to explain some of the struggles, differences, and emotions that made writing this new book stand out for me.
🗡️ https://johnbauer.substack.com/p/rhean-available-on-amazon
Some of my new approaches and methods:
In Media Res — The book begins somewhere in the middle of the story.
Simple Premise — Finding the sword fragments is a consistent and easy to understand goal.
First Person — Unlike the detached narrator of Maneus, everything in Rhean is from her perspective.
Female Protagonist — Rhean is a demigoddess and breaks the chain of father to son found in Maneus.
It's time to pick up the pieces of her fragmented sword
