Author Rafael John Ayala

Hi, my name is Raffi. I've been writing since I was in Elementary school, and I've wanted to be a successful writer ever since then. When I'm writing a story or creating a character, I feel whole. I feel like, "Yes, this is what I'm supposed to do". And the only thing better than creating, for me, is sharing what I imagine with the people who support me. I hope what I create can make a supporter out of you.

Ravenous; My Take on The Fantasy Genre

-A Scrumptious Synopsis- "Ravenous" is a fantasy novel that takes place throughout the right side of the Block Continent. It follows Jack, a travelling chef with a Medieval foot cart. He is joined by Bleu, his mentor who had been turned into a frog, and Gote, a horse strong enough to pull a whole kitchen behind her. Jack wants to reach The North Kingdom to join their community of chefs, but along the way he finds himself making new friends and battling an assortment of enemies-including his own father. Over his journey, Jack grows closer with his new friends, but his friends also face the consequences of knowing him. -Our Catering Cast of Characters- Jack may be our main character, but he meets plenty of interesting folks along the way. Colby is a mechanic who upgrades Jack's food cart and joins him on his voyage-albeit reluctantly. Pepper is a charismatic thief with the ability to wipe people's memories. Bree is a fairy who's known Jack almost as long as Bleu. Sh...

Not Another Paranormal Detective

-Creating a Character- Creating a character is like taking care of a plant; you gotta put time and care into nurturing them. Some of the richest characters in fiction only got to where they are because people cared about them. Their stories, their voice, their actions. That's the powerful thing about fiction, with the right character and the right story; something small can become something legendary, timeless, and relevant. Now-contrary to the previous soapbox-I am not good at taking care of plants. I had a cactus once. Those are meant to be easy. I have created a lot of characters for my books, but few are characters I've revisited and created new stories for. One such example of a revisited character is Christopher Fable and Barreaus. -The Detective- Christopher Fable is the main character of "Inside Job" (featured in Addiction 2 Fiction; Volume 2) and "The Rub" (featured in Addiction 2 Fiction; Volume 3). He also makes his very first appearance in Chap...

Scaping The Surface

-Ties Between Tales- If you become a writer/author, heed my words; you don't need to connect your books together. However, I am a glutton for interconnected universes and so, yes, my books are connected in way or another. Reappearing franchises like "Maelstrom" or "Elemon" appear in multiple books, and characters from some books appear in other books. The most important tether between my books are The Worldscapes. The Worldscapes are five places that are like realms, or dimensions, or states of being. While there may be many universes and realities, the Worldscapes are linked throughout. Let's walk through them. The Fleshscape I know. It sounds gross. But, by my logic, everything living and intelligent has some sort of flesh. In my books, The Fleshscape is the closest thing to our real world. Unlike the other scapes, The Fleshscape encapsulates multiple realities. So, the physical world of "Zeus Did It Again" and the physical world of "Raven...
