About the Book

There comes a time when a reader must turn into a writer. For most of my adolescence, I was reading a large range of books. Most of them focuses on fantasy. One day, I started to grow bored of them. It seemed to me that the entire genre was just repeating itself. It was then when I decided to write my own fantasy book. By then, I had already some experience with writing. I had just finished my long poetry series, and I had a couple of short stories under my belt. It seemed like the right time to jump into a longer project. This was when I conceived my Saturnastra series. I have been working on the series all throughout college. Even though I graduated from Journalism, I still kept up with my fantasy book series. Even tonight, I will be adding more to the 10th book in the series. The front cover I painted it myself. It features my protagonist Marduke sitting on the empty throne of the King. Despite being fantasy, my story has a tad bit of horror elements blended in there. It wasn't my idea to have a horror scene. Rather, I noticed it when I was reading it to my editor. My dear brother asked me, "Why did this turn into a horror movie?" I did not have an answer for him. It just happened. Aside from horror, there are some comic elements. I cannot point them out per say. Rather, I tend to be randomly funny. I only notice when I read some of the scenes out loud, and my brother cannot help but chuckle. This first book sums up my ideas of everything that a fantasy book should have. This includes a dragon, a magic guy, army battles, demons, and a male Sphinx. As for the target age group, there really isn't one. When I write, I do not have a target audience. I only write the type of book that I would enjoy reading. I can at least say that I avoid one particular type of scene that have become so common place in today's fantasy books. Why is the book series called Saturnastra? Saturn is a familiar planet we all know and loved. It was formally a gas giant, till I gave it some magical reworkings. The Astra portion refers to a type of magical weapon. The other aspect of the title is the name of the protagonist. All the books in the series will focus on a different person. From time to time, there will be crossovers between each of the books in the series. Officially, I have 4 books already good to go. I will have them published in the near future. The others still require a bit of editing. As of now, I am working on writing the 10ths book in the series. Overall, there is going to be 14 books. This is assuming that one of the books does not turn into two. As the title suggests, the book is about a fellow named Marduke. Unlike most fantasy characters, Marduke isn't an orphan and he has a long extended family. Even when he gets adopted by a noble lady, he still keeps tabs on his family from time to time. He ends up being constricted into the army. Most of the plot takes place in the capital city of Veragerung. A ruthless monarch has been ruling there for more than 200 years. His race is as ambiguous as his past. The only thing that people there know for certain about the King is that his word is law. The story focuses on the power struggle between Marduke and the King.
