[The Rules.]<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Malmaxa is my world, literally.\u00a0 And this blog is part of my literal world.\u00a0 Within it I make the rules, and I change them as I see fit. Though I am unlikely to censor any comments, if they attempt to direct readers to commercial, political, or religious sites they will be deleted.\u00a0 Spam has no place here, and to that end I employ several strict spam filters. If your comment contains even a single URL, it will be moderated.<\/p>\n

Though this is a blog, and traditionally blogs go unedited, to be recorded for posterity with errors intact, as an author I refuse to be bound by such foolish precedent.\u00a0 If I find an error in spelling or grammar, a sentence I don’t like, or I simply choose to change a post in any way, then I will.\u00a0 However, such changes apply only to my own words.\u00a0 I won’t change the posts of others unless they contain foul language, in which case I will likely delete them.<\/p>\n

[What is Malmaxa?]<\/strong><\/p>\n

At first glance Malmaxa is an overtly familiar fantasy.\u00a0 It should be a comfortable and satisfying read for any reader who enjoys complex, detail oriented Fantasy.\u00a0 However Malmaxa is not Fantasy in any traditional sense, it is philosophy couched as though it were Fantasy.\u00a0 For those seeking deeper meaning, you will find Malmaxa to be multi layered and filled with metaphor that awaits your discovery.<\/p>\n

Malmaxa portrays a world at once familiar, yet at the same time substantially different from the Fantasy norm.\u00a0 What are those differences? Well a true test of the story\u2019s quality might be that you never notice them till later reflection, when you suddenly realize many of the standard elements in Epic Fantasy are not only\u00a0entirely absent but that you never noticed missed them.<\/p>\n

Is Malmaxa a perfect place, sparsely populated with imperfect people?\u00a0 Is it a blissful culture inhabiting an utterly alien and hostile world?\u00a0 Is it ancient, or advanced?\u00a0 Is it about people, or place?\u00a0 Perhaps Malmaxa is all of these things, or none of them.\u00a0 Start reading the first novel in the series, Beltamar’s War<\/a>, now and discover Malmaxa today.<\/p>\n
