Episode 1: Welcome to the Architecture

Welcome to Shield-Maidens: Architecture of Story.

In this opening episode, I introduce the world behind The Shield-Maidens story collection — including:

• The Shield-Maidens: Warriors Through Time

• Battleborn

• The Reckoning

What began as a saga written from instinct has grown into a layered universe exploring memory, power, identity, and the unseen structures that shape our world.

We’ll also explore the expansion of this universe through:

• The Shield-Maiden Within — a reflective companion exploring personal awakening and inner strength

• The Shield-Maidens children’s collection, including The Fire and the Shield, Kolt and the Super Boots, and Della at the Race Track — stories that carry legacy into the next generation

This podcast moves beyond the page.

Here, we explore:

• The psychology beneath the characters

• The architecture behind myth

• The sibling war and the battle over memory

• The process of evolving a saga into something larger

This is not a recap.

It is an exploration of how story is built — and what it reveals about us.

If you’ve ever wondered how myth becomes movement…

you’re in the right place.
