Since before Requiter was released, I have been hard at work
on book three; until three or four weeks ago.
I needed to step away and revisit the real world for a few moments.
Since May of 2012 my time away from work has been dominated
by the World of Nilrus; writing, editing, marketing, rinse and repeat. This has been one heck of journey, and I’ve
enjoyed it. I will continue to enjoy
it. Now it’s time for me to dive back
into this fantasy world.
Book Three:
At this point, most of you know I will not have a title for
this book until near completion. I am
roughly halfway through the brain purge.
I’m struggling here and there with timeline issues. The book deals with several storylines that
need to mesh in the end. Eldric and
company are returning to Dalthanalle, Lith and his band of merry elves are also
going to Dalthanalle, albeit for different reasons. The Knights Kranse have a want to visit that
wonderful city, and Aeldon works on his return.
Add General Grunsch and all his friends to the list. Dalthanalle has become a genuine tourist
destination; the Disneyland of Nilrus.
Of course, we can’t forget the rulers of the fair city; King
Alik and Queen Elma. Oh wait! Does Keeper Leandros actually rule the city?
I have built myself quite a trap here with more than eight
story lines to follow. It is quite a
challenge to bring them all together in the end, but it promises to be an
engaging story. I really can’t wait to
see how it all ends.
Spuds Au Rotten:
This is the short story I promised long ago. I have the cover art for it, but I hit a
little snag. An additional scene was
suggested, and I agreed. When I went to
add the scene, the electronic document was gone. Gone! This
is wild, because I am OCD when it comes to backing up my work, yet I can’t find
Spuds anywhere. I say it is a little
snag because I have a hard copy of the story.
It is just a matter of typing it all up again.
But, Book Three is priority.
When I hit the next dry spot, I will get Spuds finished and published.
Condr:
I started this story a few years ago, and it will likely be
the first book after Drums of Rallinwar is completed. Occasionally, I hammer out a scene for the
book. I like the story, and the main
character. This book will be a
standalone. If it works out, Condr will
be the first of many stand alone books based on his adventures.
Anyway, that’s about where I’m at right now. I hope to have Book Three published this
year, but I’ve learned my lesson and I’m not promising anything when it comes
to release dates.
In other, more important, news; Requiter is available.
I’m still waiting for Barnes and Noble to put it out, but I
strongly encourage you to purchase a copy for your Nook from Smashwords. Mark Coker continues to be an awesome advocate
for the Indie world, and has earned every penny he makes from book sales.
