How To Write a Fantasy Book Series - And Why it is SO Much Fun - with Fr Rodrick

Welcome to the world of medieval Ireland, where an aspiring fantasy writer (and priest!) crafts an epic tale of magic, mystery, and faith—follow his journey!

Father Rodrick, a priest and longtime content creator, is stepping into a new world—writing his first fantasy novel. After pilgrimages across Europe and countless Comic Con adventures, he’s fired up to create his own magical world rooted in the rich monastic imagination of the medieval world - and it’s a wild, mythical, monstrous place!

In this live stream, he shares the inspiration behind his story, introduces us to Tim, a young novice monk with an unusual gift, and Elara (?), a determined girl fighting to become a scribe too. Their adventure revolves around the a magical Codex, a mysterious book that brings stories to life—but when it’s stolen, they embark on a dangerous quest to recover it.

At least, that’s the first 10 chapters.

Along the way, Father Rodrick dives into medieval legends, magic, and storytelling as a source of hope. He also opens up about overcoming self-doubt and criticism, explaining why, despite what some might think, fantasy writing isn't a distraction from his priesthood—it’s an extension of it.

Whether you're a writer, a fantasy fan, or just love a good story, this behind-the-scenes look at his creative process is an exciting glimpse into a book that might just be the start of something bigger.
