Differences between the Tales From the Outback series & my new series

After my big announcement about my new series and my hiatus from working on the Tales From the Outback series, I’m sure a lot of you have questions about how this new series is going to be different from Tales From the Outback (besides not being as dark or set in dystopian societies). Well, fear not, because that’s what this post is going to be all about. So, without further delay, follow me and we’ll dig into it.

First off, since the world in the new series isn’t dystopic and my characters aren’t fighting to survive the whole time, the characters in this series actually have time for *GASP* hobbies. In the series, the main character (who I’m not revealing the name of yet) has several hobbies and interests. Those hobbies include the Conflict Cryptids collectable card game and warhound riding. Throughout the series he rides warhounds in “rodeo style” competitions and races. In the second book he also dabbles in a DnD-esq TTRPG called Moors and Monsters. 

The “cozier” or “more relaxed” atmosphere leads to the series being a little more slow paced than the Tales From the Outback books. There’s still plenty of internal conflict in these books but the external conflict isn’t as prominent as in Tales From the Outback (meaning there’s not really an overarching “societal big bad” that’s looming over the characters at all times). Rather, the main character’s conflict is mostly internal (ex: battling his own anxieties and insecurities) with some external (ex: some other characters don’t like him for reasons). To be honest, I’m a little afraid that the slower pace in this book might be boring to some readers, though I hope that’s not the case and they still give it a chance.

And that “coziness” leads me to my next point. The Shadowed Curses series books are definitely “anime inspired” (meaning there’s a bit of a “power of friendship” vibe going on). While the Tales From the Outback books do emphasize found family, it’s not quite the same as in Shadowed Curses. 

Finally, one of the big differences between the Tales From the Outback books and the Shadowed Curses books is that the point of view. Now, before you get excited, I don’t mean that in the sense that I’m writing a third person point of view book (at least not yet...I might write one in the future, but I don’t know yet). So, both of the series are told from a first-person point of view. The Tales From the Outback series is told from multiple first-person points of view in each book. The Shadowed Curses books, however, will be told from only one first-person point of view per book (something I haven’t done since writing the Hybrid Empire trilogy) and most of the books in the series will be told from the same character’s point of view (the only exception to this are the companion books, which will be told from a single point of view of a different character per book).

We’re advertising a book for readers of dark fantasy: The Hunting Moon—the highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller, The Luminaries—by Susan Dennard.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

Winnie Wednesday has gotten everything she thought she wanted. She passed the deadly hunter trials, her family has been welcomed back into the Luminaries, and overnight, she has become a local celebrity.

The Girl Who Jumped. The Girl Who Got Bitten.

Unfortunately, it all feels wrong. For one, nobody will believe her about the new nightmare called the Whisperer that's killing hunters each night. Everyone blames the werewolf, even though Winnie is certain the wolf is innocent.

On top of that, following her dad's convoluted clues about the Dianas, their magic, and what happened in Hemlock Falls four years ago is leaving her with more questions than answers.

Then to complicate it all, there is still only one person who can help her: Jay Friday, the boy with plenty of problems all his own.

As bodies and secrets pile up around town, Winnie finds herself questioning what it means to be a true Wednesday and a true Luminary—and also where her fierce-hearted loyalties might ultimately have to lie.

i think my biggest ever hater aftg take is that I do not give a SHIT about robin or any new members of the team. in fact I like to pretend they don't exist and that the team somehow just stays those nine until they all graduate. you could not PAY me to acknowledge Robin beyond this and I hope she (and the rest of them) do not appear in the new books.

People talking about Grover vibing with Ares over war and the violence of nature (or whatever happened in that scene) and how it was unexpected but still cool are forgetting that in the book he played a hunting game at the casino where the deer hunted people and very loudly demanded humans die over pollution and then shot at Percy with the plastic gun when they tried to get him to leave, like Grover's been wild since day one.

Lucien: There is only one thing worse than rejection.

Lucien: *peels off a piece of paper in front of the word “rejection” so it now says “mate rejection”

Elain: A mate.

Lucien: NO.
