I am in shock. I never thought my writing was good enough for others to read, let alone enjoy, but today I found out 'Maverick' is a winner in the 'most addictive' category of the 2016 @FairytaleCommunity Retelling Awards! I am so thankful for all the support and positive feedback from everyone and I have this community to thank for getting as far as I have with this story. Paperback publication is the end goal, so watch this space!
          	
          	Also, a big congratulations to the other winners of the 2016 FCRAs:

Thanks for following so far everyone! As I mentioned in the blurb, this is a first draft with a quick grammatical read through but the story is still in flux, so if you have any comments, reactions or suggestions I would love to hear them. I also know I have been updating a lot recently as it is the holidays here, so I have the time to sit down and get pen to paper. I will apologise in advance - when September/October hit things will get slow again. Thanks for your patience with this story, it really is a labour of love and one I hope to get in print once it's done.

@bethangthomas thanks for the shout out. Goodluck

Hello there. Could you come check out my new story.  It's a new fantasy story  about a necromancer and the undead. Just take a look and give me feedback about it. Thank you. And maverick is actually one of my favorite names.

Thanks - I'll certainly check it out, sounds like a great concept. Have you read Abhorsen by Garth Nix? It's one of my favourite books and has a similar premise
