Friends, arkadashli, and arkadaşlar! My historical fantasy-romance-alternate-history is done…again!
Three years ago, my agent told me to rewrite the first three chapters and send it back to her. Three years later, I have somewhat done so! If you’ve read earlier versions of The Sultan’s Enchanter (under its old name “Charming Lies”), you might recognize a lot. But I think I’ve tightened the characters and highlighted their desires and problems. At least, I think I did. That’s what I need help with.
I also need help with:
Turkish language
Ottoman music
Ottoman art, poetry, cuisine, dance, etc.
Ottoman history
Bulgarian history
Islam
Programming
If you know more about those things than I do (i.e. more than what reading wikipedia gets you), send me a message and I’ll send you the novel. Or send me a message if you just want to tell me how to improve the story. I’m sending this thing to everyone!
If you’re curious but don’t want to commit, here’s the first chapter.
