My name is R.C. Fletcher, and as the title of this blog states, I am a teenage author/homeschooled high school student. I love nerdy things--Marvel, Doctor Who, Star Trek...I'm also a huge fairy tale fan, so Once Upon a Time is a given.
I suppose I should clarify I am not an officially published author; I'm a self-published author. I am the proud publisher of two Kindle eBooks and one paperback book. But hey--not too bad for a kid not out of high school, right?
I love writing. I discovered my love of writing when I was about eight years old and wrote a book about a millionaire named Ritchie Munnie. Don't worry, I won't bore you with the details of that particular story. But it did start me on my writing journey, so it wasn't all bad.
As I got older and started wanting to read what is referred to as the "young adult" genre, I discovered that almost every book written is entirely based around a romance. Now, don't get me wrong, I love fairy tales, and romance is good in the right context, but I don't really enjoy books that are all about it. That was when I decided I wanted to write a clean fantasy not based entirely around romance. That, I think, is when my true writing journey began.
My Kindle and paperback book, The Crown of Colnia: Rise of the Warlocks, was a thirty day novel. I competed only with my sister, but I wrote fifty-thousand words in thirty days, and that became my first self-published novel.
So there you have it; a very brief history of my writing career. Now for what this blog is going to be about.
I love TV, movies, video games, and reading, so there will be reviews of all of these mixed in whenever I feel like it. There will also be numerous updates of my own writing journey, which I hope you will all join me on, and excerpts from my many novels. And, you know, whatever else strikes me.
Thanks for reading, folks, and I hope you enjoy my blog!
In my mind, self-publishing counts as much as traditional publishing. I can't stand the snobs who claim that self-published independent authors are a lesser breed. As one of our favourite TV characters would say "We are all stories in the end".
