Hey there,
So I’ll go first and look forward to hopefully finding out more about some of you 😊
I write by the name Joel Byrd and love anything fantasy, hence fantasybyrd. Simple, I grant, but the pen name might have a better story. Joel is the name of a close but late relative, and Byrd, a composer who famously completed his work in isolation, something that may reflect our current time perhaps! And fantasybyrd seemed like a good Instagram handle to help me get off the ground with marketing my debut novel. Where does your name come from?
Perhaps unoriginally, Avatar: The Last Airbender sparked my fantasy interests many years ago, and my desire to watch and read anything fantasy has snowballed in the best way ever since. I love to read it, watch it, talk it but mostly write it 😊 many short stories down the line now, I’m currently working on my debut novel - a blind fantasy action adventure, The Song of the Spirits. I’d love to hear how all of you came to be a part of this community 😊
