Today's Topic The gods of Gardul
In my fantasy universe, I was looking to play with the idea of what would it be like if the gods of mythology where real. What would it look like?
To be quite honest, it is horrible. So, to make a compromise. I create a race of other worldly beings who can indirectly effect the world. They are not a good bunch; they are everything nasty about the Greek gods. And they have one goal, to feed.
Foods in the realm of the godlings equals faith. Not just believe, but the expression of faith. So, to gain strength the gods battle for the hearts and minds of the people of Gardul. They will do anything to increase their base of believers.
Join Kristin and I in this episode as we explore the gods of Gardul.

So often as authors we tap into the emotion of tragedy for our stories. The tragedy could be limited to a few people, neighborhood, a nation, or even an entire world. We focus on the emotions. However, do we think about the effects on society?
It is these ripples that often have a lasting impact on the larger community. It was the Hindenburg crash that ended the age of the blimp and led to the new commercial airlines. Inspired by the potential problems caused by the train crash in Hoboken, NJ. Michael and I will talk about the impacts of real life tragedies and how they can inspire more detail in fantasy stories.
