world building
Hi! So for my fantasy fiction novel I've started to do the world building but there's a few things I needed help understanding.

How should I decide what fantasy creatures to have in my world? Can I make up new ones or does it need to be the usual elves and dragons and gnomes?

THE ECONOMY! I'm really confused as to how to establish a stable trade and economy for the world. How should I figure out the currency and what kind of exchanges are made?

The cultural practices. I don't even know how to explain this but if someone could help out it'd be so great!

It's my first time world building. So if anyone has any other tips for me please do drop them below!

Thanks alot!!!





>How should I decide what fantasy creatures to have in my world? Can I make up new ones or does it need to be the usual elves and dragons and gnomes?

It's your world, you can do whatever you want.

I did a mix of both. In my world there are alien races that are animal-human-hybrid-type people, for example my MC, Quaraun, is a JellyFish, that passes herself off as a male Elf, and keeps her long hair hidden under veils, because her hair is actually stinging man-o-war/jellyfish tentacles. She lives among the Elves because she has long pointed ears and is better able to pass herself off as an Elf, then a Human. So obviously my world includes Elves and Humans.

You don't have to include any race/species you don't want or need. For example, my world doesn't have things like orcs or kobolds, even though those are commonly found in the bulk of other writers' fantasy worlds.

I have written stories NOT set in my primary series' world and sometimes I'll include an orc or a kobold because they are logical for the story and world in question. But for my primary series, such creatures just don't make sense in the grand picture of how that world evolved so, I don't have them.

On the other hand, my main series features very "Christian inspired" Demons and ArchAngels as a race, and the Demons originate from a literal planet, named Hell (as opposed to a spirit prison type thing like is found in Christian theology).

My Demons, such as BoomFuzzy, GhoulSpawn, and ZooLock, are the classic Biblical human with the lower half of an animal (horse, sheep, goat, deer, etc), so they have the upper half of men and women with furry animal legs tails and hooves and horns, and other animal-like features. They include races like Unicorns, Kelpies, Phookas, Ursurigs, Satyrs, Centaurs, and other such real world mythology/folklore races.

Meanwhile my ArchAngles, such as SunTa, Dameon, and Checka, are bird-people inspired by Sumerian, Egyptian, Persian, and Jewish mythology and folklore. Basically they are winged Elves, who sometimes feature bird heads.

There is also a heavy use of Jinn, Devs, Guls, and other Persian Demons-I am myself Persian, so my own culture inspired the bulk of my creature races.

And my world has Merfolk and Elves and Gnomes and Fae all inspired by Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and other Celtic folklores. I am also Scottish. I am Scottish/Persian mix. And so, Scottish folklore is a deep influence in my world building process.

How did I decide to use what I did,, and not use others? I kind of just went with things that I liked and wanted to write about, while not using things I had no interest in, and then altering the ones I liked to make them things I liked even better.

Also, my world isn't the typical "European Medieval Fantasy". It's much more Middle Eastern. The bulk of my world is a very Persian and Scottish flavour. Americans who read my series, often describe it as "Arabian" and compare it to "Arabian Nights", even though it is Persian/Iranian inspired not Arabian inspired, but I think most Americans don't know there is a difference, so, I guess that means I did good getting the "flavour" "right", because the readers do see it as some form of Middle Eastern, even if they get the exact culture wrong.

But, I point this out to show you that you don't have to go with the whole Medieval European Tolkien style Fantasy that so many people do. You could go Chinese Fantasy, Contemporary New York City ruled by Elves Fantasy, India Fantasy, Yukon Territory Fantasy, New Zealand Fantasy, just, any place or time or era, and let it's folklore and mythology inspire the creatures you use.

For example Elves originated in Hebrew mythology as The Alfar, around seven thousand years ago, and are talked about in both the Torah (called the Alfar) and the Bible (called The Watchers), and did not show up in Scandinavian folklore until the era of the Templar Knights. Elves completely do not exist in ancient Scandinavian folklore, then suddenly show up after the Templar Knights brought Judean slaves to the Scandinavian regions.

This is why Elves stick out like sore thumbs in Scandinavian folklore, because they did not originate in it, and were added to Scandinavian folklore in Medieval times, but originated in the Persian/Sumerian/Iranian/Hebrew texts from several thousand years BEFORE the Medieval era.

So, if you wanted to use Elves, you'd have to ask yourself which type of Elves are you going to use? The 1980s Dungeon and Dragons/Drizzt type? The 1970s ElfQuest types? The 1960s-1980s Smurf type? The 1950s Tolkien types? The 1920s to 1940s Santa Claus type? The Victorian mini-type that lived under mushrooms? The 1400s to 1800s Austrian Krampus type? The Medieval Scandinavian type? The ancient Persian/Hebrew Jinn/Watcher types?

Most writers on Reddit seem to default to the Tolkien type and do no research into the history of Elves to find out the very first mention of Elves comes from the book of Genesis and the story of Noah's Ark, where 2 races of Alfar were doing battle: the Watchers of Azalea riding red dragons and the Guardians of Michael riding white unicorns, and that God cast the flood to drown the Elves to stop the war, and had Noah build the ark. So few people today have ever read the Bible that most people don't even know about the war of the Elves part of the story of Noah's Ark, and most modern religions, skip that part of the story citing it too "fantastical" so even kid's picture books just have god telling Noah a flood is coming. But read the actual Bible verses themselves and you see a blood tale of sex crazed Elves kidnapping and raping Human woman during a massive war between two races of Elves, and the women giving birth to a race of half-Elves called the Nephilim, and God saying he had to make a flood to wipe out the half-Elf race because it was an abomination.

That is the first known written story of Elves, and yet so few who use Elves in Fantasy are even aware that the entire Elf race ORIGINATES from the story of Noah's Ark in the Bible, predating Scandinavian mythology by a full ten thousand years!

My Elves are Noah's Ark Elves by the way, so are VERY much Middle Eastern and not even close to the types of Elves used by a lot of modern Fantasy writers who couldn't be bothered to actually research real world Elf folklore history, to find out Elves originate from the Middle East NOT from Scandinavia.

And I say all this to show you that even if you use a "generic" race like Elves, the Elf folklore is so huge, surpasses close to twenty-thousand years, that to stop at a part of their folklore that is not even yet a single thousand years old, like Tolkien and everyone since him does, is kind of foolish, because their pre-Medieval history is far more fascinating. But I point this out to show you that you don't have to be a carbon copy of every one else and just grab dull, boring, uninteresting Tolkien Eves, you could do some actual research into Elf history and grab some far more interesting and more rarely used types of Elves instead.

It's YOUR world, YOUR story, so, do what YOU want to do with it, don't do what others are doing, just because others are doing it.

>THE ECONOMY! I'm really confused as to how to establish a stable trade and economy for the world. How should I figure out the currency and what kind of exchanges are made?


My world is a post-post-apocalyptic Dark Dystopian Fantasy that was heavily influenced by Planet of the Apes 68, Mad Max, The Running Man, and more recently also Resident Evil and The Walking Dead.

My MC (Quaraun - the previously mentioned JellyFish) is a Necromancer, and his two lovers are also mages (it's Gay Harem Fantasy Romance - he has 37 lovers who live with him, but only the 2 primaries get a lot of page time-yes this is a published series I'm referring too), and the world id our real Earth, treated as though our real world folklores were actual history (thus why I use real creatures from real world mythology). My series picks up three thousand years into Earth's future, and starts by citing that in the year 2525, the world burned finally getting too close to the sun, killing 21billion people, leaving only 7million survivors who went underground because the forests and cities and mountains had all melted and turned to ash and magma. Earth was renamed Hell and dubbed The Planet of Flames. After a thousand years it went back onto it's older, colder orbit path, an ice age starting up once again, and people from underground returned to the surface to find that the 21billion dead, were now undead creatures whom ruled the planet, the world now lead by a Lich and his undead armies.

Well, because of all that, there is NO "economy" as we know it today.

People barter for what they need. The apple grower who needs milk, will trade a barrel of apples for a barrel of milk, from the dairy farmer the next town over. That sort of thing.

My main character (Quaraun- the jellyfish necromancer) is a silk weaver and travelling merchant and gets everything he needs from food to shelter, by trading silk scarves, silk shawls, silk shoes, and silk blankets with people.

Governments no longer exist in this world, so there are no kings or presidents demanding their faces stamped onto minted coinage.

It's basically a gatherer/hunter/survivalist/prepper type of society, so economy has collapsed completely.


CosPlay of, Quaraun, -the JellyFish-Elf-Hybrid, known as The Pink Necromancer aka The Sacred Pink JellyFish.

So, money gets used A LOT in my series. I world-build for a series of short stories that I write/publish, so context here is in terms of the stories which take place in that world. For context: I sent 10 years world building a massive world as a hobby, and then I wanted to explore the world I had built, so created a silk weaver/traveling merchant character, who travels the world selling his wares, for no reason other then to be a tourist of the world I built and explore all it's regions and cultures.

So I go back and forth between writing stories of his explorations of the world, then building more places for him to explore. I write the series simply to feed my addiction to world building, and made my main character a merchant for no other reason then to have an excuse for why he's in a different region/biome/location in every story. As such, currency get brought up a lot, like in almost every single story, due to my MC being a merchant and constantly having to deal with customers and marketplaces.

Well, because I'm dealing with hundreds of different cultures in various levels of completion, which will all eventually end up crossing paths with my merchant MC, Quaraun, that means I had to create a currency system for all of them. At first, I was drawing coins with royal busts and official seals, charting out exchange rates, and being all super persnickety about it.

I even bought a book about antique coin collecting, to use as reference for drawing up my coin illustrations to look like real world coins, LOL!

I definitely went overboard in it. And then one day I realized, I had no reason to be doing this level of detail because a good 90%+ of the stuff I was drawing and charting wasn't going to appear in the stories. It occurred to me that reading exchange rates and haggling in detail over those exchange rates was just plain boring to read, meaning it was also pointless for me to be going into the detail I was doing.

But then I realized that the way I had written my MC, Quaraun was an elderly man with failing memory and a resistance to change, and would rather barter then carry coinage, which meant in terms of story context, I had no reason to detail out the coinage or exchange rates at all. So, I changed my entire system of currency creation, to be in the context of my MCs mindset, rather then the actual currency of each region/government.

My MC Quaraun, -the JellyFish-Elf-Hybrid, known as The Pink Necromancer aka The Sacred Pink JellyFish, is a traveling mage/merchant and ends up traveling long distances (multiple countries, including cross oceans to other continents), plus he's a nonHuman around 750 years old.

So, Quaraun has coins and other currency from lots of places, but being elderly and having a failing memory, he can never remember the exact names of currency type of which region/country each type comes from. But then he can't remember the various names of each coin, nor can Quaraun remember which coins to use in which countries. He ends up having lots of coins made out of various materials: gold, silver, copper, tin, bronze, platinum, pewter, glass, gemstones (jade, turquoise, rose quartz, amethyst, etc), bones, shells, carved wood, etc.

Quaraun, -the JellyFish-Elf-Hybrid, known as The Pink Necromancer aka The Sacred Pink JellyFish. ends up carry some of each of everything on him, because he's never certain which ones to use it which places.

Because Quaraun can't remember the names of the currencies or which regions he got the coinage from, so, when he speaks about currency, he speaks in terms of the material it's made out of regardless of what the correct name is-thus he says: Gold coin, gold bar, silver coin, copper coin, brass coin, nickel coin, jade coins, string of coins, wooden coins, cowrie shell, moonsnails, clam shells, glass beads, seed beads, fur pelt (fox, beaver, bear, mink, marten, rabbit, etc), wood chips, quartz crystal, amber, citrine, paper notes, pearls, opals, gemstone chips (turquoise, jade, peridot, etc), silk threads, silk ribbons, silk scarves, silk worm cocoons, bags of rice, glass globs, marbles... are all things I've used.

I'll point out here that the world is mostly destroyed.

Civilization is decimated.

There are no big governments (no countries) anymore, because most of society is scattered into small tribes and clans. The world was once a high tech future state, but it's not in near medieval state due to a mass apocalypse. As such, more often then not, currency consists of whatever local regional item is readily available, rather then minted coinage. Minted coins are usually antique relics of civilizations past. Most villages have their own currency system, unique only to their village, for example: a village on coastal salt flats, may use clam shells as currency, while a village near a volcano, may use lumps of lava rock as currency.

A lot of places don't use currency, rather trade goods, so a man who needs a plow for his garden, might trade a bag of apples from his orchard for it, while a woman who needs flour to cook with might trade milk from her cow for it. Well, my MC, Quaraun,  is a silk weaver and glass blower in addition to being a mage for hire, so whenever he needs food, he'll find a house that has a young girl/teen daughter and ask for her to cook a meal in exchange for making her a silk scarf or embroidered silk slippers or fancy glass genie bottle or a necklace made of braided silk ribbons and blown glass beads. Quaraun uses currency when people demand it, but usually he can get most everything he needs by trading his silk and blown glass items. This type of bartering trades is used far more often in my series, that coins or currency.

All that said, if you were to cross paths with Quaraun, and ask for say, a cup of tea, he'd likely invite you into his tent and serve you tea without asking anything in exchange, other then that you spend an hour conversing with him.

On the other hand, should Quaraun end up at your shop looking to buy a cup of tea, he'd probably argue with you is you gave him a dollar amount. He'd likely just hand you a gold or silver coin from his purse, and who knows from what region or government it'll be from. Depending on where you are and your personality, you might just take it because you realize that it's real gold and this single coin is more money then you'll make in a year and you can melt it down and exchange it from some money lender or pawn shop. If you are a more honest person, you'll tell him that it is way too much money and hand it back to him saying you won't accept it.

My MC, Quaraun, -the JellyFish-Elf-Hybrid- came to realize that humans like gold, so he strives to keep at least 10 gold coins on him at all times, and whenever he gets in a haggling war with someone over an item, he can usually pull out a gold coin and hand it to them, and they just take the coin, because gold is very rare and usually highly sought after by most humans.

However, because the world is in a decimated state, most people would rather have useful items then currency. Thus a fur pelt that can be made into a blanket, or a bag of wheat flour that can be used to make bread, or a box of candles that can be used to light a room, may in fact be seen as more valuable then gold coins, due to the fact that one can not eat gold or keep warm with it.

But all that is just how I do it in my world/ Quaraun's world.

So, for YOUR world, look at what your world's society is like and make the economy match. There is no right or wrong here. Just do what YOU want to do for YOUR world.


>The cultural practices. I don't even know how to explain this but if someone could help out it'd be so great!


I draw on inspiration from real world cultures.

For example, my main character, , Quaraun, -the JellyFish-Elf-Hybrid-his culture comes from real world Gypsy/Romani/Traveller cultures of the Middle East, Persia, Mongolia, and Scotland.

Pick a real world culture that you like, study geography and sociology books about their history, and then use that to inspire you in creating your own worlds' cultures. That's what I do, at least.

Hope this helps. Good luck with it!

List of Reddit Subs For World Builders:



There are a few subs that might actually give you better advice when it comes to world building specifically, as opposed to writing in general. Here's a few you might want to check out. These are ALL world building specif subs, though some only do one single type of world building (like only character creation or only magic systems, for example), but these are the best world building subs on Reddit, and you'll get tons of help by just joining all of them, and then reading and posting on them all. I use these subs myself and they are all awesome.

Those are all worldbuilding specific or allow worldbuilding specific topics. There's probably more, but those will get you started. Be sure to read the rules of each sub before posting, they are all different in what kind of questions they allow you to ask.

Also, you'll need to be super specific with your questions, like ask: "I need help with these tree monsters I created for my enchanted forest. *Write a lot of details about the forest and it's trees - a paragraph or more at least, not just one sentence.* Can you guys read what I've got here and tell me what you think I can do to make them a better match to the rest of my world?" instead of "Tell me how to world build."

Hope that helps, good luck!

Note: there are likely spelling errors on this site, and I am unlikely to see the ... I fix them when I find them, but, there are many issues here...

Note: English is not my first language, Shetlean Scottish is my native language, there are likly spelling and grammar errors, as I do not know American English and am attempting to write it by sounding words out.

Many times that Americans think a word on my site is misspelled, often it is not misspelled, it is just I mixed up languages and wrote it in Scottish without realizing I mixed the Scottish in with the English.

The Scottish government provides this document to show our language in use: https://www.shetland.uhi.ac.uk/t4-media/one-web/uhi-shetland-images-and-documents/documents-/shaetlan/Shaetlan-Language-Plan-2022-Shaetlan.pdf 

More information about our language can be found on this website:  https://www.iheardee.com  which is written in my native language.


However, there is also other reasons why words might be misspelled, or why I might not understand someone when they speak to me.

My grandmother Helen Ricker Allen, was from Unst, Shetland, Scotland, and she the one who raised me. She taught me to read and write, but it was Shetlain that she taught me. She died when I was 8 years old, and I was locked in a woodshed after her furneral, I escaped the woodshed 27 years later at age 31, and have been trying to learn how to speak and write English since then.

It is a very great struggle.

At age 37 I took remidial reading and speaking classes at Southern Maine Community College, but we are Gypsies and Gypsy men do not allow us Gypsy women to have education, and so, while at college, on November 14, 2013, I was beaten with a golf club, while I was 8 months pregnet, breaking my spine, hips, and knees, killing my baby and leaving me quardepaleic since.

Now my primary focus these past 13 years has been on relearning to use my hand so I could type... as of 2023, I have regained the use of my right thumb, and first two right fingers, and after 10 years offline, I am back online due to I can use three finguers.

I never went to school, so I do not know maths and numbers and sciences, and I do not know what else would have been taught to me in school. We are Scottish Gypsies and Gypsy culture does not allow females to go to school. Being born female was already a great sin, but my grandmother took great risk in teaching me reading and writing. At 4 years old I was punished by my Uncle Bruce for knowing how to read, by being beaten in the face with a cinder block brick, that broke my right jaw and left me with garbaled near-mute spoken words ever since.

Because no one ever spoke words to be face to face from he time I was 8 years old until I was 37 years old (I escaped the room at age 27, but did not start college until 37), I have no training in how to vocally sound out or speak the words I write or read. I can read words, but I do not know how to sound out or say those words. I can write words, but I do not know how to match the written word against the spoken word. I struggle to associate spoken words at all, or make them match up with writen words.

Esentially, written words and spoken words are two completly seperate languages in my brain, and I have difficulty understanding spoken words.

If you say a sentance to me with your mouth, chances are very high I will have ZERO understanding of what you said and I will not be able to ander you.

However, if you WRITE down that exact same sentabnce, I can understand you and can type a written responce to you.

My doctors tell me this is a side effect of extreme isolation and neglect and lack of human contact during my toddler, childhood, teen, and young adult years, and that my brain never deveoloped to comprehend spoken vocal words due to no one ever speaking to me in over three decades of the first half of my life.

While I can read and write, American English (somewhat) I do no know how words are sounded out, what they are supposed to sound like. I readand write by shape recognition, not by sound/vocal recognition, so when reading and writing I do no "hear the words in my head" as I am told most people do when they read and write. In other words... I see "c a t" and think "c-a-t" I do not think "cat" nor do I "see" an image of a cat, no do I "hear" the word cat spoken. I'm told that this is very rare and that most people read and write by sounding out the words and linking them to visual mind images, while hearing the sound of the word in their head. I neiher hear words in my head no see images of things in my head. I'm told this is what makes me both a speed reader and speed writer, because I'm not tripped up by hear sounds or seeing images in my head like nomal people would be doing... however, I'm also told this is why my spelling and grammar are very poor, because my brain is not hear the sounds of the words or seeing visual images of the objects the words represent, so my mind also does not register spelling and grammer errors at all.

As I was only let out of the woodshed on Sundays to go to the Cape Elezabeth Ward Church of the August Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I was never allowed to go to school or hospital either. No adults ever talked to me because I was evil for comitted the sin of being born female, so I never learned how to speak properly and do not know how to sound out words to say them.

I was 42 years old, in 2016 when, while having an MRI for my spine, the doctors found out my speak issue was caused by a broken jaw as a toddler that was healed wrong because not being allowed to go to doctors. I had surgury to fix that, and since 2016 have been trying to learn how to use my jaw and touge so I can speak vocal words now.

Since 2023 my primary focus shifted to relearning to walk. I can now, in 2026, sit up for 2 or 3 hours a day, and can sand with a cane for a few minutes, and can walk for around five thousand feet in 2 to 3 segments a day, with the help of pushing my wheelchair like a walker.

As of 2026, with a slight return to using my fingers and legs, I am once again focused on trying to learn the American English, but I live in mortal fear of my uncles and male cousins, as they are so hateful of allowing me to have education.

have no one to help me to know if I am doing words correctly, and as such, I have no way of knowing if there are spelling and grammar errors, but I asume there are, and I fix them when I learn them, but I do not know what I do not know and spelling American words is a thing I do bnot know.

I have Low Fucntioning Kanner's Syndrom, also known as "RainMan Type of Autism" aka REAL and ACTUAL Autism, not to be confused with Aspergers, High Functioning Autism, or and of thr 861 illnesses on the Autism Spectrum. An Autism Spectrum Disorder is an illness that has symptoms similar to Autism but IS NOT Autism. If you have an Autism Spectrum Disorder, it LITERALLY MEANS you do NOT have Autism.

I am medically diagnosed as "kanner's syndrome, actual autism, the rainman type, profoundly retarded autistic savant, with a general IQ of 73, and an writing IQ of 221" but they added that they did not know how to properly diagnose me as I am "technically a feral child" and they don't know "how much is the autism, and how much is simple horrific levels of abuse and neglect induced post traumatic stress disorder that will go away with proper socilization".

It means I know how to write, I can write a lot, and it is next to impossible for you to teach me how to do literally anythig else because my brain only knows how to write and doesn;t know how to do anything else..
There's a reason, when I do book signings, people are quick to say: "Okay, what's the joke? why is this stupid retard here? where's the real author? I know this retard isn't the author. where are you hiding the author, why is this fucking retard here"

The end result is, I have near zero social interaction... my 3 years in college was the ONLY face to face interaction I have ever had with humans in my entire life, and I struggle deeply to understand MOST words used by MOST people when they ask me question. And so I suffer from a huge lack of understanding many words people say to me, how to translate those words into spelling, and how to translate what it is that has been said.

The fact remains hat until there exists a human on this planet who is willing to sit down and teach me what words spoken line up with and match what words written, this deficent is unlily to improve. But the fact also remains, that I am simply far too profoundly retarded for anyone to even try to make any attempt at all even to speak a friendly "hgelloe" or "good morning" when passing me on the street, so I have lost all hope of anyone ever either being my friend, being willing to teach me how to match spoken words to written words, or how to speak to other humans.

i just found out there is yet another bizarre rumour going around. where are these wild rumours coming from? who is starting them? and why?

@eelkat

since I've been flooded with hundreds of messages the past two weeks asking if I still own "the world's most haunted car", yes, and here it is, filmed today May 18, 2026… but my son Xavier is dead, i am crippled and given that people are AGAIN showing up calling my Dodge "haunted", calling my friend "an alien", calling me "transgender", and spreading wild defamation slander connecting me to Stephen King, I think I need to start taking down the contact information of every blogger, podcaster, youtuber, and social media account spreading these rumors, and sue every single one of them for CAUSING my car to be cut in half May 10, 2010, for CAUSING the backhoe that drove over my house August 8, 2013, for CAUSING my son's murder November 14, 2013, for CAUSING me to be crippled and in a wheelchair November 14, 2013, and for CONTINUING to CAUSE harassers to show up in person to harass me near daily, STILL now in 2026. EVERYONE telling you my car is haunted, telling you my friend is an alien, calling my car "the goldeneagle", calling my friend "Etiole", or trying to connect me or my car to Stephen King, is lying to you. They crippled me when I was 8 months pregnant, and a woman with a golf club, severed my spine and bashed my baby's head in, I spent 9 years relearning to walk, and the FBI is 13 years into the murder investigation and not yet identified the attacker who crippled me and killed my baby, both violently with a golf club and the FBI believes that it is friends and family of the woman who did it, are the ones who started and spread the rumors saying my car is haunted, saying I'm an alien abductee, saying all kinds of similar bs about aliens, ufos, ghosts, witchcraft, demons, and Stephen King connections, even though I don't believe in ghosts, aliens, ufos, demons, and had never heard of Stephen King before 30k of his fans showed up in my yard trying to find my car! FBI believes the backhoe driver and the murderer are the same person and it is a developer who wanted my land and so started the Stephen King, ghost, and alien rumors all in an attempt to drive me off my land, and when it didn't work they drove a backhoe over my house, and when that didn't work they crippled me and killed my son. Why are they doing this? How do I get them to stop?

Do you know who drove this backhoe over my house at 146 Portland Avenue, Old Orchard Beach, Maine on August 8, 2013? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.

My house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, July 4, 2013, photo taken because we had just finished building a baby room on the back. vs My house August 8, 2013, when the same group of people (yes group, the golf club woman was not alone when she attacked November 14, 2013, nor was she alone with her second attack July 2016.) who murdered my son on November 14, 2013 at Southern Maine Community College and crippled me July 26, 2016 at scarborough WalMart,... they arrived the first time with a backhoe on August 8, 2013, that they used to drive over my house, during a time of day that I normally was home asleep... I had to work a different shift at the Waffle Cone Pizza Food Truck at George's Parking Lot by Bill's Pizza at the OBB Peir, that day, otherwise, I too would be at the bottom of a landfill, along with my house and everything I owned that was also in the house. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and have been homeless for just under 14 years, homeless ever since....

... which means it is now only a few weeks from the 14th anniversary of my son's murder. I was 8 month pregnant November 14, 2013, and a student ay SMCC, and coming out of the Buglight Lighthouse art studio after art class, when a still unidentifiedwoman wielding a golf club attacked me, severed my spine, while I was 8 months pregnant, triggered early labour, then killed my son minutes after he was born.

While accusing me of being transgender, screaming "transvestite freak" and "look at that thing, that's Ken's son in a dress"... while I was 8 months pregnant.

eelkats_house_before_after.jpgMy house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, July 4, 2013, photo taken because we had just finished building a baby room on the back. vs My house August 8, 2013, when the same group of people (yes group, the golf club woman was not alone when she attacked November 14, 2013, nor was she alone with her second attack July 2016.) who murdered my son and crippled me, arrived the first time with a backhoe that they used to drive over my house, during a time of day that I normally was home asleep... I had to work a different shift at the Waffle Cone Pizza Food Truck at George's Parking Lot by Bill's Pizza at the OBB Peir, that day, otherwise, I too would be at the bottom of a landfill, along with my house and everything I owned that was also in the house. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and have been homeless for just under 14 years, homeless ever since.

The backhoe driver returned November 14, 2013, armed with a golf club, used it to break my spine and smash my baby's brains out on the ground

On November 14, 2013, my son was murdered. I was 8 months pregnant, leaving my college classroom, and just getting into my car, when 3 strangers, a man and two women, armed with golf clubs leapt out from behind my car screaming "kill or be killed, kill the transvestite freaks, kill them all before they kill us! look at that thing! That is Ken's son, look at how it's dressed! kill the transvestite freaks! kill or be killed"... while the bald man and the red haired woman chanted this over and over, the blonde woman, lunged with the golf club.

She severed my spine, I am now a quadriplegic, and been paralyzed arms and legs, and in a wheelchair for 13 years now. She broke my hips, my knees, my legs, ruptured most of my discs, and shattered three of my vertebrae so bad that the shards of bone acted like glass and embedded themselves into my spinal column nerve bundle.

The attack also triggered labour.

My son was born in that parking lot, and he lived only a couple of minutes, before the deranged blonde woman, beat his head in and smashed his brains out, with the same golfclub she had just used to sever my spine and leave me crippled for the rest of my life.

Realizing that I was not transgender, and they'd just murdered a baby, the man grabbed the 2 women and forcibly dragged them away to a 4 door white pickup truck, and they left me there to die.

The FBI told me later, that a few weeks before this attack, and transwoman, had murdered a cis woman, in a parking lot, abou 20 miles away from where I was attacked. The FBI, believes that my attackers, had somehow found out I wrote transgender fiction, connecting my real name to my penname, (my father's name is in fact "Ken", and I do have a brother) and believed that I wrote transgender fiction, because I was myself transgender, even though I'm not transgender. The FBI, believes the attackers, thought I was my brother, pretending to be a woman.

The FBI investigation, into my son's murder, has dragged on for 13 years, and still now in 2026, continues on, with the FBI, still not having yet identified my attackers, and only guessing at what their motive was.

Thus we come to 2014, and the full swing change of the series I write. WHY my series, went from just a transman main character living life, to the full blown Mpreg genre series that it now is today.

Before the attack, I had a chance of having a baby. I don't know. And because I'm in America, I'm too old to adopt. You have to be under 45 years old to adopt a baby. That is the law in America. I was informed this, when we tried to adopt, now that my injuries leave me unable to get pregnant a 9th time.

Thus began my obsessively writing, my transman main character, pregnant. Always pregnant now. Every time. Every story. Stories that now fully focus on pregnancy, labour, miscarriages, babies dying, babies living, raising babies... the whole series, since 2014 has devolved into an outright baby obsession.

Meanwhile, reborn baby dolls were suggested to me by my therapist, and have also become a deeply obsessive part of my life. Because 13 years ago my son was murdered minutes after he was born, because a transphobic bigot mistook me for being transgender, I'm STILL in a wheelchair, struggling to relearn to use my arms and legs, now 13 years later, and I'm still DAILY dealing with police officers and FBI agents who while they are trying to find my son's killer, they are also daily reminding me... oh, yeah, my son was murdered, literally ripped out of my belly, by a transphobe. Who still has not been located and walks free to kill again.

The golfclub woman as she looked during the golf club attack at Southern Maine community college November 14, 2013. She is about 20 to 30 years older then me and would be around 75 to 85 years old now in 2026.

Do you know who these two woman who crippled me and murdered my baby, at Southern Maine Community College at 10PM on November 14, 2013, are, and what their connection to the backhoe that drove over my house is? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.

I am a legally blind quadriplegic, and low verbal, I have also published 138 novels in the last 48 years. It's not as impossible as people think. The problem being blind and quadriplegic, medically have different meanings then how those two words are used medically.

Fewer than 3% of all blind people see nothing. While 97% people who are classified as fully blind are able to see up to two feet in front of them. Legally blind means I can see more then two feet in front of me but not far enough to see twenty feet in front of me. In my case I can see about eight feet.

Quadriplegic, has varying levels, it means having a damaged nerve bundle in the spinal column causing limited mobility of all 4 limbs, (in my case this was done by a women wielding a golf club, who also beat my 8 month infant's head to pulp on the parking lot tarmak, at the same time she severed my spine with the same golf club; both on November 14, 2013; the FBI investigation into my son's murder and my being crippled has gone on now for 13 years, a few weeks away from 14 years now, and the FBI has still not identified the killer or her motive). Contrary to popular misconception, quadriplegic does NOT mean ZERO movement, it means means limited movement, specifically in means unable to lift arms over head, unable to grip fingers around objects to pick them up, and unable to stand for more then 5 minutes to a time. Because there are so many thousands of nerves in each limb it is actually very rare for there to be 100% no movement, but how much, and to what extent varies by patent depending upon the specific point of injury to the spinal column.

Meaning typing is still possible for over 60% of all quadriplegics.

In my case, it was the lower spine that was severed, cutting off completly my ability to move my right leg, leaving limited feeling in my left leg, and an ability to stand but not walk, with crutches, for the first 9 years. I regained enough nerve growth in my legs by the 9th year to be able to take ten or twelve steps allowing me to get out of bed for the first time since the golf club attack; This in turn lead to me being able to start using a wheelchair, as I was able to sit upright for the first time as well.

Because the shattered vertebrae bone fragments are broken off completly and embedded into the nerve bundle just above my tailbone, doctors were saying I would never walk again, but now at 13 years, I am able to push mu wheelchair like a walker, a distance of almost a thousand steps a day. Though doctors are still doubtful I will ever walk "normally" again, I have proven them wrong, when their said 13 years ago, that I would never walk again at all.

But because of the placement of the damage to my spine, regaining hand use, was always thought possible, it was just a matter of waiting long enough for nerve regrowth, along side daily finger exercises. I was able to continue writing, after becoming quadriplegic, because I still have use of my right thumb, and 2 fore figures of my right hand. And can type 90 words per minute with those 3 fingers.

I however have no wrist strength, elbow strength, or shoulder strength, so I am not able to form a fist, or lift objects, or brush my hair, or my teeth, all thing I have to have my caretaker do. But, those things are not needed for typing. Unfortunately, my pinky and ring fingers are "nerve dead" and drag over the keyboard, and cause horrific spelling errors and typos, which are incredibly frustrating to deal with.

Unfortunately trying to edit errors myself, just makes the errors worse, because those same two fingers drag over the keyboard yet again. Prior to the golf club attack, I rarely had spelling errors; now I got more spelling errors then someone is learning English as second language. Editing is a challenge, that I've had to accept, I simply can not do myself, and I have to hire several editors to help with that.

Low verbal means sounds can still be made, sounds that software programs like Dragon can be trained to recognize and translate, and type into full words. More then half my novels were typed with this method.

I still have a long ways to go before I am anything close to being able to do the things I could do before the golf club woman beat my baby's brains out and shattered my spine. And you know what's more frustrating then how slow mu medical progression has been? The fact that it's been 13 years and the police and FBI are still coming up at dead ends as to who the woman who murdered my baby was, or why she even did it.

My son's 14th birthday is only a few weeks away, but he didn't even get to live long enough to celebrate his 1st birthday, I don't even know why. And I can't wait to regain my ability to walk again, because regaining my ability to walk, means gaining the ability to go outside and start looking for my son's murderer myself instead of sitting at home trapped in a wheelchair waiting for the police and FBI to to find her. So, writing isn't a big priority for me anymore. I only write now, as a way to exercise my hands, in between relearning to walk.

Never let a disability stop you. Plenty of writers, artists, athletes, do not let either blindness, speech impediments, or limited mobility hold then back from perusing their careers.

Do you know who these two woman who crippled me and murdered my baby, at Southern Maine Community College at 10PM on November 14, 2013, are, and what their connection to the backhoe that drove over my house is? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.
