Madness Games & Comics: Author Amanda White
Amanda White is a fantasy and literary fiction writer. With a firmness of heart, she believes as Toni Morrison said, “If you find a book you really want to read but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” More and more, she sees the need for books with valiantly good characters, worlds that can be fixed, and hopeful and optimistic endings. This is not to say that her characters don’t have flaws (doesn’t everyone?), make the wrong choices, or have the occasional (or frequent) fit of temper. This is not to say that the worlds represented aren’t already broken or quite imperfect. This is not to say there isn’t plot, plotting, loss, pain, or growth. But rather that, overall, as the stories unfold, optimism wins out over pessimism and the hope that is served up both hot and cold is flavorful enough to taste.
She currently lives in Dallas, Texas where she dreams of mountains and high-altitude, low-humidity air and (barely) survives city living by being close enough to her young nephew and niece to play whatever it is they want to play (usually and often something to do with Pokemon or unicorns).
The Fortunetelling Wizard:
In the kingdom of Dar, wizards are known by the tunics they wear.
It is common knowledge that tunics are made from wild magic. A len who catches, tames, and puts on a tunic is a wizard. And a wizard is named and known by his deeds. Take Duin the Fearless or Bjarne the Vengeful as examples.
The wizard Hol has been called Hol the Proud by his mother, Hol the Loyal by the queen, and Hol the Upstart by the other wizards of Dar. His biggest fear is that he’ll be remembered as Hol the Failed.
His tunic has its own opinions about what he should be called.
In fact, his tunic has opinions about everything.
If it has its way, he will be known as Hol the Fortunetelling Wizard.
But there hasn’t been a fortunetelling wizard in Dar in over eight hundred years, and because Hol didn’t actually catch or tame his tunic, he fears even more that he might not even be a wizard at all.
