First, the Thank you time...

Spectacular! What a sight to behold! This weekend at Geek'd Con uplifted my writing spirits and encouraged my soul as my boys, Phillip and Elijah helped me at the Nathmaria Chronicles booth. As their introduction to #conlife, concluded, they grasped the joys and agony of running a booth at a convention. Honored was I, when Phillip leaned over and philosophized by observation, the people that attended and the nature of what we saw. Elijah thrilled my heart by being himself and making all sorts of friends with every kind of vendor, including adults and older teens. Helpful and ready to assist an old man in all of his ailments, my boys did me very proud. What a wonderful weekend when country comes to town.

Original Title was World Builders

Nathmaria Chronicles has always been planned as a trilogy therefore the series titles centered on the variations of "World..." mixed with what the story was. To begin, I know that since this is a new realm to define and explore, I would have to accomplish substantial construction and fabrication of every system my readers would be accustomed; government, social, economic, religious, and magical. Since I never liked to read and try to digest information dumps, I chose to use a narrative form of a story teller relating his travels and experiences thus revealing the world.

This worked well in explaining various people, places, and historical events in a entertaining manner rather than slogging through page after page of exposition. I called this person the Chronicler who is a local celebrity able to gather new experiences and collect stories as he travels to tell the old ones.

As an analyst myself, I would love to hear what you, my readers, think of this literary device.
