Writing In 2015: A May Update

Just about time to give a bit of an update on what's going on. Basically, I've not written much and I've been mostly okay with it. Most recently, I've been working on a short story. I've put aside a lot of works-in-progress and I might got back to them later.

I have in mind a return to series I've already started. I mentioned this before but was kind of waffling on the idea. Now, I'm giving it more serious thought. Since I've been at this I have started three series. My first novel, Cries Of The Faithless, was mentioned as the first book (though I'm thinking I may not return to that world), then there was my second full-length novel, A Kingdom Of Shadows. That is one I'm interested in finishing since I keep thinking about how I left everybody. My third series, is the continuation of the story I started in, The Darkness Of The Deep. They are all set in different worlds. I started unpacking them but went on without finishing.

I could also add Stormborn's Debt to this growing list. The first book, my most recent publication, is definitely episodic in my mind. It was an exploration of the concept and I want to go back into that world and share more of the hero's adventures.

So, I could say this is all the beginning of a near-term strategy for my work. A quartet of sequels could be in the making. All for advancing different stories in different series. Sort of crazy, but I'm certainly not shocked. I'm silly that way.

What Else Is Going On?

Yeah, so this is an update. Since that is the case, I should also mention that my novel, Killer Of Dragons, a standalone, will be coming out very soon, probably early in June when all is said and done. Also, the plan is to finally get a paperback of The Darkness Of The Deep out so that'll be announced soon as well.

Aside from all this, I've been reading a few ebooks that came as part of a bundle. Craft and business books mostly. I'm constantly studying the publishing business and trying to learn what I can about my writing craft, so reading quality books by folks that know both helps tremendously.

All in all, things are simmering for now. I'll let everyone know more when I can. For now, I will just keep on keeping on. Later.

New Releases: February 2015

Well, I've been busy moving a couple of projects to publication and haven't had time to write much here. The writing does continue and I'll talk about that again soon in my Writing in 2015 series.

So, with out further ado, here are the book releases for this month:


STORMBORN'S DEBT (EBOOK AND PAPERBACK EDITIONS)

Brandin Stormborn, the son of a god, a living legend and hero of the realms, returns to the kingdom of Belandria by sea. Years ago, the demigod lived among the kingdom's people, using a different name to hide his true identity. While serving as a merchant's guard, Stormborn, known then as Brandell Shay, incited a revolt, the infamous Casteny Revolt.

His youthful zeal cost hundreds of people their lives. He fled as a criminal carrying his guilt with him. Now, Stormborn returns to face justice and pay back the debt. But, a chance meeting with a young woman named Natya drawns him into a battle with a vicious creature named Oracandus who's been terrorizing the city of Ravenhold.

An ancient pact will be broken and Mariel will find herself a pawn in a greater game of noble houses and malevolent magic.
So, go check them out. Both are available as ebooks and trade paperbacks.
