Fantastic Friday Writers - Introduction

I am embarking on a new writing adventure with a few of my fantasy and/or sci-fi comrades.

Every other Friday we will all post an article on a specific literary topic so you will be able to see five different view points on a single subject.

The linky widget below will allow you to ‘hop’ our blogs to read their posts.

My name is Deirdra Eden Coppel. I write fantasy set in different periods of earth’s history. This is somewhat unique as not only I have to keep my fantastic mythology straight but I also spend quite a bit of time researching historical places, people and events.

I am fascinated with natural disasters, legends and biblical prophecies. I like to plan elaborate invasions and study maps.

I’m a combat fighter skilled in several different weapon types as well as hand to hand combat.

That being said my secret identity is rather normal. I am a stay-at-home mom and a volunteer for the Boy Scouts of America. I shop sales, attend church on Sunday and stay active on my yoga mat.

It doesn’t take a trained detective to see the slight abnormalities in my life – cereal for dinner, no T.V., a computer in my closet ….

Yep, I’m a novelist.
