Deborah Hawkins, penned Debra Renée Byrd, began writing after a blank book project in elementary school and never stopped, fashioning stories based on her favorite TV shows and movies before creating more original works. She studied at the University of the Arts and Florida State University before settling down and graduating from Temple University. She now resides in her hometown of Dover, DE, where she spends most of her time at work or at church. She loves fantasies, superheroes, is a trekkie and a brown coat. She loves television and lives for Final Fantasy video games, having collected most of them. She has read a myriad of authors, and her favorite authors change whenever she finds a new book that changes her life... "When you can't run, you crawl. When you can't crawl...well, you know the rest." -Tracey, Firefly, "The Message"

Fast Five Friday: Books!

Happy Friday! Ohhhh, Happy Friday! *blubbers, holds Friday like a lost puppy* We thought we'd never see you again!


That aside, welcome back to Fast Five Friday, given to us by the Cover Girls, Dani & Jax! It's a very lax meme in which you can participate whenever you feel.

This week, they would like us to recommend 5 Books!

Here are the 5 that have changed my life as a fantasy writer, and I strongly recommend them for other fantasy writers.


The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (and sequels) by N.K. Jemisin


The Phoenix Unchained (and sequels) by Mercedes Lackey & James Mallory
*This truly was the first that ultimately showed me the kind of writer I want to be.*


Transparent (and sequel lol) by Natalie Whipple


Hereafter (you know what goes here lol) by Terri Bruce


A Game of Thrones (et. al.) by George R.R. Martin

I've watched the Game of Thrones series - does that count?

I've only read the first two GoT books so far. Guess I won't be catching up before the new season starts...

Vanessa Morgan said...

I haven't read any of them (yet), but I'd love to start with Hereafter.

Oh, gosh, I feel like such a bad fantasy fan now. I haven't read any of these! *shifty eyes* They all look great, though!
