 It's Blog Ring of Power time again.  Today I would like to welcome Janet Beasley to the Realm... Hi Janet.   Here's the list for each part of the interview Part 1: With T.W. Part 2: Yup, right here with us fantastical people. Part 3: with Sandra Part 4: with Dean Part 5: with our fearless leader Terri .  Lets hear a bit about this awesome fantasy author before we get into The Writing Life. Hi, I’m Janet Beasley; Epic Fantasy Novelist and Scenic Nature Photographer. I am the author of the newly released epic fantasy series Hidden Earth Volume 1 Maycly – Parts 1, 2, and 3. I was born and raised in Beavercreek, Ohio where I was a proud 1979 graduate of Beavercreek High School. I now reside in central Florida and love hanging out together with family and friends for food and fun.      According to those who know me, I’m outgoing, fun, very creative and always try to look on the sunny side of life. Now granted, ...

I've been playing around with my secondary character, Una. She's been tapping on my brain to come out and I can not draw to save my life.  I did try, it wasn't pretty.  So I bought some modeling clay and got to work.  I may do another try, to see if I can get her arms and legs to come out better.   The arms are covered by her robes and her feet... yeah they suck.  At least you can't see how bad the legs came out.   Anyway, here she is.   The face came out better than what I expected, but with some practice I may be able to get out more detail, like her scales and the fact that her ridges on the top of her head have a plume of feathers coming out.  Not to mention she needs to be Purple and the robe red.  Over all I'm happy with her.     Here's a little nerd info for you.  I pictured in my mind what a dragon looked like if crossed with a cloner (Kamino) from Star Wars.  Yup, something like that.
