Linvin's Shortcomings @Solsticepublish

It’s been a while since I blogged about my book, “Quest for the Red Sapphire”
and I thought I would mention something for those new to the blog.  A fan
asked me the other day about the main obstacle the protagonist, Linvin
Grithinshield has to overcome.  There are many combative situations in the
book that are challenging for Linvin.  He fights everything from man eating
wolves to a dragon.  The real conflicts he must overcome, however, are his
own shortcomings.  Linvin has been a warrior and general for many
years.  After countless battles and rivers of blood, he is disgusted with
the person he has had to become in order to do his job.  He has
hallucinations about goblin blood clinging to his hands and has nightmares about
fighting for his life.  The last thing he wants to do is take up a quest
into one of the most dangerous places in the world and fight his way
through.  When the idea is proposed he resists until he discovers that
assassins are coming for him.  He will never see them coming and must go on
the quest to avoid the fate of his late parents. Linvin refuses to take a sword
with him because of his apprehension.  It is a decision he will
regret.  Once on the quest it becomes clear that he has another flaw to
overcome.  Linvin had been drilled to train and plan for battle.  His
schooling left him with little tolerance for those unprepared or who question
his leadership.  To be blunt, he has a short fuse for those who cannot see
the big picture or challenge him.  Enter his fraternal twin cousins, Bander
and Rander.  They are constantly getting under his skin and causing
outbursts from Linvin.  There is no question that the duo is annoying and
makes you want to throttle them.  If Linvin is to prove himself worthy of
the Red Sapphire, however, he must overcome these weaknesses and grow as a
person.  The book is a wild ride for the former general.
