Whew! I really thought I was going to have to post-pone the releases of Chapter 1 for Tentaglian Empire: House of Tentagel... But, I made it. It has been such a journey. I have numerous projects I'm working simultaneously, plus Home and Farm Life has been hectic. I honestly didn't think I'd finish on time.

And the funny thing is... It was my own self-imposed deadline! But I wanted to push myself. 

Do you want to know a secret? This chapter was SOOOOOO hard for me to do. You see, the "story" itself actually covers 17 generations. Before you say I'm crazy (which, I am), let me explain a bit...  

About two and a half years ago, I was brainstorming and actively working on the storyline for one of my BIG Babies, Hollow Mists (Un-done as of right now), and part of that story's inspiration came to me in a dream. Cliche, I know.

But then I was awakened one night to the terrified and tortured screams of my child who was not my child... I was a character in a story I had not yet written, and the screams were of my character's daughter. From that point on, I had to know more about the woman I was in my dream. So I played the "what if" game to find out more. Now, I don't want to describe the "game" in detail here, but I will in a near future post (I promise!)... but this approach led me to the answers to so many questions, that I have an entire trilogy mapped and planned out, with the 1st draft of Book 1 written and done already. 

So??? Why don't I publish it already?

Because it has a disturbingly dark theme. It is a story that as a "new" writer, I am hesitant to come out with. Not to mention that it is a very Adult type novel, and my two biggest project babies right now, are YA. Therefore, I don't exactly want to scare off potential readers.

So??? Right, so what about these chapters for Tentaglia I'm writing/releasing?

I wanted to do a newsletter. But, usable content isn't my strong point. I can make stories, but brainstorming what I want to teach strangers today/this week, takes planning. Okay, everything does, but... I guess what I am failing at saying, is truthfully, I guess I just want to get a feel for how people take my writing. Do they like it? Will they like it? My big WIPs aren't going to be done this year, I've already accepted it. Besides my Poem/Song Book, I don't have anything except this blog to recommend me, T.B. Cooper, as an author. So I have to start somewhere. So I decided I'd release a story every month.

But about what?

Then, in another dream, I saw this huge family tree unfurl. The roots of the Empire that my Main Character and her daughter are apart of. THAT is who these stories are about. The 16 generations leading up to that tortured child. It is a dark journey. I cannot promise happy endings or warm feelings. There will be death, sex, and bloodshed. But there will be love and compassion and human traits that transcend what we believe to be human. 

Some days I don't know what character is speaking to me. But I listen anyways, and write their story down, and get to know them.

In Chapter 1, you will meet Rane and Nova. Twin sisters trapped in the inescapable destiny of an Empire. 

A little over 3000 words, this is merely an introduction. Still, I welcome your feedback and will gladly answer any questions I can.

    Hello!

    I’m T.B. Cooper, and I’m very excited to share my life with you. In between living on Pinterest, voicing political views of Equality (on Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr), running an atypical farm in the Southern Nevada Desert, spiritually guiding & advising & fixing lives, and schooling my kids plus a bunch of others' kids (...that I'm not sure how they got here); you’ll find me fighting for desk space with my cats, attempting to keep their hair out of my tea, plugging my nose 'cause my bulldog likes to sleep & fart next to me, trying to actually do some work that makes ME happy…

    I'm a woman of many traits and talents, some are better than others. In this Blog you'll find a little bit of everything. And I DO mean EVERYTHING!

    Want to know more about me? Visit my About Page or we can talk (I'd love to hear from you), just head over to my Contact Page.
