I was PLANNING to #amwriting in my cave.
But SOMEONE failed to properly charge the hardware overnight. (That would be me. Sherlock would be convinced I’m drunk, but nope, just nearsighted.) I have just plotted a NEW swerve, but it’s gonna percolate.
Instead, a craft lesson.
What follows is an example of Rien’s Rebellion in development, specifically to illustrate the evolution of the constructed language of Galantier. This is purely because I have access to my own drafts and the decisions that drove the evolution of Rebellion from Disney Princess Plays Virginity Porn with Robin Hood into … what it is.
As a reminder: the finished version of Rien’s Rebellion is available at Smashwords and Amazon, and I’m always delighted to have new readers.
What follows is an example of Rien’s Rebellion as published, specifically to illustrate the evolution of the constructed language of Galantier.

Books are live, and they are going to kill me.
But we knew that, because that’s why I’m publishing these babies. Publishing them is actually selfish on my part. It’s been hard to write other things – or even the next Galantier cycle* — without locking these down. If I wasn’t pushing them, I’d still be f***ing with them.
*Yes, there are more stories. At least 3 cycles — no idea how many books — right now, and seeds for a couple more after that. It’s a big world, with a lot that needs fixing.
Rien’s Rebellion is one book in 6 volumes:
Hey, you.
psst. Yeah, you.
You like fantasy?
You like politics?
If it existed, would you watch the Westerosi version of The West Wing?
You’re in luck, because that’s what I’m giving away. A long story about a civil war and a government in crisis and the people fighting to keep their nation from falling apart.
The first book is free. It’s right here. I’m happy to share. Follow me on Bluesky @CZEdwards for updates. Read my Author’s Notes for details.
