My Critique Partner’s New Novel

by S.V. Farnsworth | Sep 21, 2023 | Blog

My critique partner, Margarite Stever, published her book today!

I remember reading the first draft years ago and offering my thoughts and feelings about how to refine it as she did the same for my first book, Woman of the Stone. It was an exciting time for both of us to think about becoming authors of novels that exist in the real world and can be held in our hands. I write High Fantasy and she writes Steamy Paranormal Romance.

“Shades of Blue” video

by S.V. Farnsworth | May 1, 2023 | Blog

Every shade and hue of blue reminds me of a rendezvous.

Cast aside the red rock climbing, a hidden park is oh so charming.

A writer in a writing mood, I met my hero here today.

Pen in hand, I had a plan, but heroes lead where no one can.

We fought the dragon, sailed the sea, and then we…

Looked beyond the blue.

My soul bespoke a sonnet true.

Of love. Of life. Of me and you.

Darkness falls upon the land.

My picnic lays upon the sand.

Uneaten sandwich. Unopened soda.

Unplanned, but oh so grand.

Still, I dream beside a stream.

My stories gleam bright as the stars.

My hope one day is to see Mars,

Or visit a green, inviting gable.

The land of books past, present, and future,

Live within my well-shelved soul.

These treasures of a lifetime reading,

Are gifts to me without repeating.
