24/10/03 Update - 300 followers! Thanks for all the feedback and support! 'Dynasty Ch. 04' is being drafted and will be out this month, Ch. 05 in November, and one more 'Trevilan Chronicles' in December to close out the year.
I've had a lot of questions so far about how I'm jumping around POVs in Dynasty - This will be a longer series than Potion and has a lot more characters spread all over my map (which you can see on my Instagram page - MAR5ART). To help with who's who, here are all the key players in the Dynasty Series:
Queen Marzanna Velcin – 58 years old
King Rodmond Velcin – 38 years old
Priestess-Queen Gilly Velcin - 38 years old
Sorceress-Queen Maymon Velcin – 40 years old
High Priestess Emeritus Morrigan Velcin – 60 years old
Princess Roslin Velcin – 20 years old, daughter of Maymon
Prince Roydan Velcin – 20 years old, son of Marzanna
Princess Mizel Velcin – 20 years old, Twin daughter of Gilly
Princess Silena Velcin – 20 years old, Twin daughter of Gilly
Prince Marcus Velcin – 19 years old, son of Marzanna
Prince Rhys Velcin – 19 years old, son of Maymon
Princess Cressia Velcin, 19 years old, daughter of Gilly
Princess Gya Velcin – 18 years old, daughter of Marzanna
Prince Vyman Velcin – 18 years old, son of Gilly

24/9/19 Update - Drafting of ‘Velcin Dynasty Ch. 03’ is complete, now I’m just editing and polishing it. Hoping to post this one before the end of the month. Goal is to have the first five chapters of Dynasty (5 of 10) posted by the end of the year, and maybe one more ‘Trevilan Chronicles,’ which are simply standalones and fun to write, because they are not as lore focused. Anyway, thanks for all the feedback and support!

24/7/17 Update - Thanks for all the feedback on Chapter one! Busy working on the other parts of the ‘Velcin Dynasty,’ which should run for about ten chapters in total, ranging in perspectives and locations. Chapter 2 in early August. I’m also drafting a short prequel series about a young Queen Marzanna, and another short series about a different cast of characters and set just a few years after ‘Prince’s Potion.’ More art will also follow!

24/5/22 Update - ch. 05 is drafted and being edited. Hopefully published by next week or early June. It should be around the same length as 4, and meant to wrap up the current story. More tales are in the works! Thanks for all the feedback and support!
While writing the Princes’s Potion, I relied heavily on character portraits made through AI. Say what you want about this new technology, I have my own thoughts on it as well, but I found these to be helpful in visualizing the characters I was writing about.
These renderings are not perfect representations, mind you, but if you are interested, here is a link to view them:

24/5/7 Update - ch. 04 has been submitted for publication! This is the penultimate chapter in the series. Fear not, the further chronicles of the Velcin Family will pick up in the forthcoming series, around the next generation, set some twenty years later. Thanks for reading and for all the feedback!

hopefully the start of something great and terrible.
