So, I wanted to make sure that my own novel’s art, the first impression it would make, was a quality one. The first thing I did was decide what […] - [My Debut Novel is Arriving Soon!](https://danieldfanning.com/my-debut-novel-is-arriving-soon/): My first novel, Crystal Grave, will be available for purchase soon!

As a crystal knight he is burdened by stifling responsibilities and has already rejected them, but if he wants to stay as himself and make it stick he knows he’ll need more strength. The path to it seems simple: Enter the lair of a former war hero, now twisted into a corrupted knight, then kill her and take her powers for himself.

Especially sci-fi and fantasy stories, the kind that show a world filled with amazing things, amazing magic, and amazing rules. I love it when that world makes sense, and you can pinpoint exactly why it is the way it is. So naturally, I’ve been reading for most of my life. But that’s not all: I’ve also been writing for most of it too. Sometimes attempts at a full story, sometimes just snippets that occurred to me in a moment. I didn’t really write with a plan, or with any […] ## Optional - [Agent (MCP protocol)](websites-agents.hostinger.com/danieldfanning.com/mcp) [comment]: # (Generated by Hostinger Tools Plugin)
