Historical inspiration for my fantasy novel: Pre-colonial Philippines

Seeker of the Lost Song is a historically-inspired fantasy novel merging medieval Finnish & pre-colonial Filipino elements, and I wanted to share two elements of Filipino history I included.

☼ 1) Dulang, a low table ☼

One of my favourite tidbits from my research is that pre-colonial Filipinos ate at a low table, sitting on the floor. Part of me worries that readers will think “Hey you stole that from Japan!” but I’m excited for the chance to show my people at their own low table, eating rice with their hands.

☼ 2) The balangay boat ☼

Another pre-colonial Filipino element I included in the book was a balangay, an ancient Filipino boat that’s recently come back into the public consciousness, with ancient boats being excavated and working replicas made. A quote from this article in STARweek, from one of the people who worked to rebuild the balangay, really resonated with me:

“It is very sad because we are a maritime people. We should be gifted and natural in the waters but colonialization robbed us of that consciousness. I am doing this to help rekindle that spirit”

The balangay that appears in my novel has a double outrigger (something that always feels so Filipino to me), but essentially it’s a larger version of the sketch pictured. And I have to admit, the scenes on the balangay did stir something in me. Something ancient and ancestral, perhaps?

Seeker’s as-yet-unnamed sequel also features elements of pre-colonial Filipino history, but more on that at another time. Suffice it to say I’m enjoying this opportunity to learn more about the history of my people and use it in a fantasy setting!

Hey guys, I know this is super random (and doesn’t have to do with ACOTAR) but I put together a romance reel for a Canadian bookstore and even had one of the authors featured like it. It would mean a lot if you could potentially check it out <3

Why don't you switch things up this Halloween season and instead of watching a horror movie, play through one?

Play as Lily, a teen girl who's life gets turned upside down when her mom and step-dad decide to pack up and leave their cushy New York apartment lifestyle in favour of some middle-of-nowhere town's farmhouse.

Do YOU have what it takes to outsmart the serial killer who's hellbent on destroying your family?

"Hark, oh hark the elfin laughter

All the little waves along,

As if echoes speeding after

Mocked a merry merman's song!

All the gulls are out, delighting

In a wild, uncharted quest

See the first red sunshine smiting

Silver sheen of wing and breast!

Ho, the sunrise rainbow-hearted

Steals athwart the misty brine,

And the sky where clouds have parted

Is a bowl of amber wine!

Sweet, its cradle-lilt partaking,

Dreams that hover o'er the sea,

But the lyric of its waking

Is a sweeter thing to me!

Who would drowze in dull devotion

To his ease when dark is done,

And upon its breast the ocean

Like a jewel wears the sun?

"Up, forsake a lazy pillow!"

Calls the sea from cleft and cave,

Ho, for antic wind and billow

When the morn is on the wave!"

--Morning Along Shore, by Lucy Maud Montgomery, which I thought about gazing at the glistening sea at breakfast the other day!

If you could thank non-humans in your book's Acknowledgements page, what would you include?⁠ ⁠ For Seeker of the Lost Song:⁠ ᕯ The "askhistorians" subreddit⁠ ᕯ Wiktionary⁠ ᕯ nordicnames.de⁠ ᕯ Inkarnate's map creator⁠ ᕯ Genesis albums Foxtrot & The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway⁠

My book wouldn’t be what it is without them! ___⁠

Hunter was born to destroy the world—but he can’t get the dragon shifter with silver eyes out of his head.

Ace doesn’t think he is worthy of love—but he was born with a mark on his soul that will prove him wrong.

Asher believes that he is an apathetic monster—but his greatest downfall will always be that he cares too much.

Zane thinks that he is weak and useless—but he has no idea that he has the strength to save them all.

💙🖤Cold Fire🖤💙

and

💜🤍Silver Magic🤍💜

A duology with slow burn, found family, dragon shifters, warlocks, angels and demons. Ends with a poly foursome of men. Each book is dense and long (over 700 pages!) and full of spice. Enjoy!

Free on Kindle Unlimited!
