Hello all,

Welcome back! Let’s dive right in.

(OBLIGATORY SPOILER ALERT HERE:)

“Hi Jim,
I just finished The Orphans of Haven. Qira is mentioned to be fully grown, in her twenties. However, you mention that Radley was a child soldier from a very young age. He fought for many years, and the book is set ten years after the events of the Story of Raiya. Is there an age difference between the two?
Thanks,
Michelle”

Hi Michelle,

Oh yes, there is a difference between them in terms of age. I wasn’t going to show this, but let’s take a look at an image I had AI create based on their appearances.

So… there’s a lot going on here. First of all, I know Radley looks like he’s in his 40s-50s, but he’s actually in his mid-early 30s. The reason he looks significantly older is because he lived a lifetime of violence and spent the following decade drinking very heavily. He’s a broken-down soldier who, thanks to Qira, was able to make a recovery, but time can’t heal all wounds. So there is a an age difference of roughly ten years between them.

Readers, if you liked the book, please take a moment and leave me a quick review or if you’re pressed for time, some simple stars will suffice!! I wouldn’t ask, but the more exposure my book gets, the more copies it sells. Word of mouth is everything in this business! Thanks so much, all! I greatly appreciate it!
