About Jamie Foley

Howdy! I'm Jamie. I write fantasy books and love strategy games, home-grown berries, and Texas winters. I'm terrified of plot holes and red wasps. My husband is my manly cowboy astronaut muse. We live between Austin and the cattle ranch, where our hyperactive spawnling and wolfpack can run free.

Creating lovable (and loathsome) characters

"Character Design - Sheila" by Sayara-S My favorite aspect of any story are almost always its characters. I might not always remember their names, but I can recall the personality, attitude, and quirks of characters from movies I haven't watched since childhood... and I can't even remember where I left my water bottle. [...]

The first installment in The Sentinel Trilogy, Sentinel, is now available in paperback. 300 pages of non-stop adventure, Sentinel already has a 5-star rating on Amazon.com.
