Song of Revenge by Djedra, literature

Song of Revenge

It seemed to him a battle raged. And circumspect, the sleepy blaze Betrayed the corpses. Embers crowned The open brazier of the town. And if he came too late, he rode, Was altered under fire's glow, With auburned cheeks and sootened eyes, Too young to brace and realise There can be nothing in this place To bear the part of mercy's grace, To bleach the blood before it calls Or catch the youth before he falls From this bleak manuscript of death. Thus echoes now his pledging breath: “I shall not return until...” And when his purpose thus enthroned Sets forth upon the winter road, His course is set, his purpose born In hate. Thus

Morning Coffee by Djedra, literature

Morning Coffee

She came downstairs to the rich smell of breakfast and human beverages brewing. Ichigo was crashing dishes in the kitchen and the radio was rattling off a tinny love song. She flopped down on the sofa and, finding a blanket there, wrapped it around her body, half-inclined to hide herself completely, but it was already too late for that. He peered out at her from behind an open cupboard door: “What were you dreaming?” “I don’t remember.” “Must have been something.” He went back to preparing their breakfast: “Yuzu was freaked out: said you were yelling or something and then” – he glanc

I am the author of a series of books set in feudal Japan.

The first is out and can be found here: www.amazon.co.uk/Thief-Red-Mou…

It's called THE THIEF OF RED MOUNTAIN and it's a suspense thriller with a twisty plot and lots of action and romance.

The second book, A TOWN FOR PAPER GHOSTS will be out in October 2014.

You can also get news and updates on the whole Akayama series here: www.facebook.com/thethiefofredmountain

The Trouble with Sequels

0 min read

Recently I undertook a brand new challenge as a writer, the challenge that is The Sequel. The thing about sequels is: they SHOULD be easy. You've already spent months, if not years, with your characters. You know them inside out. You finished all the world-building in the first book. All this has to be is a continuation, building on everything that was successful in the first, right? Wrong! There's a reason why the sequels to most films are weak. All the advantages I've outlined above are there, sure, but they are outweighed by a whole host of disadvantages. Basically, if you consider a book to be a chocolate cake, it's made of a dozen dif

London Comic Con May 2014

0 min read

MCM LONDON COMIC CON This was the eighth time I've attended London Comic Con and undoubtedly one of the best. On all three days, I spent a lot of time in the halls and the grounds, taking photographs and taking part in photoshoots, then in the evenings I hung out with friends. It made for a great balance of photos / cosplay and seeing the folks I care about. <3 My Cosplays Friday – Kuchiki Rukia Saturday – Akayama Mei Sunday – Hijikata Toshizo Best Cosplays Friday – Shirosaki Hichigo (extra points for having dyed his tongue blue) Saturday – Jaime and Cersei Lannister (award for cutest incestuous couple) Sund

Writing Historical Romance and Fiction

0 min read

WRITING HISTORICAL FICTION To try and immerse oneself in a culture one needs to understand not only what a place would have looked like, sounded like, even felt like, and not only the events that occured there, but one needs to know how a person perceived that place. One man's prison is anothers castle; one man's paradise, another's gaol. To some extent, perceptions will be unique to a character, but characters, like individuals in history, do not exist in isolation. All are products of their culture. The fundamental concepts, such as virtue, beauty, meaning, power, purpose, may vary from culture to culture and are often so ingrained that the
