Andrew Lang 1844-1912 Wulvers aren't exactly a huge part of mythology, largely because they're believed to have been made up by a writer only a few decades ago. But I knew that I wanted to have one of them be a part of Whynne largely because of the variety they offered and just how interesting … Continue reading Talking about Wulvers.

Why I’m doing monthly novellas, how we got here, and what’s coming next.
"Sleeping Beauty"Hans Zatzka 1859-1945 Hello readers! I didn't actually think that I would be making this blog post, largely because I kind of figured that no one would ask about it-- in the case of most publications, readers tend to just be thankful to hear from you; which you guys were! I just had a … Continue reading Why I’m doing monthly novellas, how we got here, and what’s coming next.
The Wild Fae and Foxes in Whynne
John Bauer 1882-1918 If you have any interest in literature and have studied it at all, you probably already know about animal symbolism and trickster figures throughout folklore. If you don't, then basically what you need to know is that throughout history, animal symbolism has been used as a vehicle for moral education, political commentary, … Continue reading The Wild Fae and Foxes in Whynne
Talking about the Gancanagh’s Bride, the World of Whynne, and When the Next University of the Unseen book will be released.
Let me start off by saying surprise. Or not surprise. I don't know. If you read my blog you've gotten hints that the World of Whynne was coming, but I never really elaborated much on it. What the world of Whynne is is a monthly standalone novella series answering some questions about lore, expanding on … Continue reading Talking about the Gancanagh’s Bride, the World of Whynne, and When the Next University of the Unseen book will be released.
Alice, Haldia, Serials, and Some Little Business tidbits.
When I originally planned to drop these chapters, they were completely different. I've said it before and I'll say it again, a lot has happened the past few months, and I had to rewrite a lot of this book because it no longer felt appropriate. A lot of how a book is received often has … Continue reading Alice, Haldia, Serials, and Some Little Business tidbits.

When you get into the Chronicles of Whynne, you see a country that is just beginning to open up for the first time after so long, and consequentially … Continue reading Selkies in Whynne and Haldia.
Pronunciations in Whynne and When the Next Short is Coming.
Pronunciations, oh my god, pronunciations. Never have I thought of making a guide in the back of the books, but in future ones I might have to. I'll also touch a little bit on the bonus content today. So, without further ado... How do you say that? Words in Whynne. Whynne - Wuh-en. Pronounced like … Continue reading Pronunciations in Whynne and When the Next Short is Coming.
The Note: An additional Ink and Foxglove short.
I always wanted to give readers a little peek into what Luka's life was like pre-Wren knowing. So, included in the omnibus edition next month and available here, I present the Note, the first amongst three extra stories related to the Chronicles of Whynne. In it we sort of get an idea of the two's … Continue reading The Note: An additional Ink and Foxglove short.
The Evolution of the Gancanagh
Today we're talking about the Gancanagh, which too me is just like a super cool topic and something that really ended up shaping the series. The original trajectory for Quill and Cobweb was so much different before these creatures and it really became something that ended up shaping the story of Whynne. Probably the most … Continue reading The Evolution of the Gancanagh
