May Update

Wurm's Blood is still going through the edit process by my coauthor.  In the meantime I have been trying to work on my current project when I'm not finding myself distracted by shinny things like the internet. 

This is an outline roughly of what I am planning.

This project is going to be three books at the Outset.  I have the titles for them already so that's kind of a good sign so long as my characters don't get too carried away I should be able to keep to the base chart/tree I have for this series.  This one is going to be more of a high fantasy (especially given the source material) then Wurm's Blood.  Wurm's Blood was more of a dark fantasy comedy in some aspects.

Book 1: The First Ones:

Book 2:  The Memory of Trees:

Book 3: Song On the Wind:


Once my co-author gets around to finishing his edit of the story I'll probably work on the First Ones in concert with the short that's going to be bridging book 1 and 2 of Wurm's Blood.  Yes Wurm's Blood is going to get a sequel...discussed it with my co-author and we feel that Rambert's story is not quite done yet...which will definitely see more of Finnart the Elf.  Wurm's Blood is going to be just 2 books as we can't see the story going any further as it'll wrap up a few things.


That's it for now.  I will type more later when I have more of which to inform you about.

Late April Update

My co-author is still working on his editing of Wurm's Blood.  Hopefully he can get it done before next March. :P 

Also as you may know I started work on my next project which will be based heavily on Irish Mythology, the Invasion Cycle to be specific.  Hopefully people will enjoy it when I get it finished. I plan on this project being three books.  I also still plan on working on the next installments of Wurm's Blood as well when I get stuck on this Irish based High Fantasy books.  I plan on this Irish based series of books being a trilogy.  I plan on calling the series The Cycles of Conquest.  The tentative titles for these three books in chronological order are; The First Ones, The Memory of Trees, and The Song On The Wind.  Well not much more to tell so I'll end it here for now.  Sorry for not updating in a while but been busy trying to find a day job.

First Post of April

Not a whole lot going on.  It's slow going for both myself and my co-author.  I trying to write a story using Irish Mythology as the base as some may know.  But this story is coming almost painfully slow to me.  I am hoping to commission some artwork in near future for it to inspire to work on it as sometimes seeing the characters drawn up pumps me up with the drive I need to work on my projects.  Secondly I apologize for how long it is taking for my release of Wurm's Blood, but I want it good not done Friday so to speak.  My co author is very slowly going over the work paying close attention to all the minute details.  Well not much more to say, but if you'd like to see what I'm currently working on a have couple tiny snippets up on Deviantart.  You can find them here.

The Last Marching Orders aka Last Update For March

For now I have finally actually settled on my next project after having just recently finished Wurm's Blood.  I am still waiting on my co-author to work on it some for editing the proof and it's been slow going as he seems to lack motivation.  So I have started my next project, The Cycles of Conquest.  This project is at its core based after Irish Mythology, namely The Book of Invasions.  The first novel in this series I have entitled The First Ones.  So far the premise for this first book shall be about the first ones to land and attempt to settle the island of Eirren, and the trails and tribulations they experience in the attempt.

Here is a snippet of what I just recently wrote up for you to sample:
______________________

Wide grins of anticipation and excitement plastered to their faces, Tuan and Cian Cecht sat upon the rails leading up to the beginning of the bowsprit, “You are sure it wasn’t just another of her fever dreams and it really was a true Vision?”

Tuan’s grin had refused to leave his face even as he defended his claims to his golden haired friend, “Faith, Cian.  Even Finn knew it for a true Vision. Would you dare doubt The Word of one of the most powerful druids left in this world.  I believe in my mother’s Gift of the Sight.  Once She had foreseen….”

“Cian, please come down and play with me.”  A little golden haired girl, their junior by eight years, pleaded and interrupted Tuan.  She nervously sucked on a bit of her tunic’s collar which she had pulled towards her mouth; her head remained downcast, unable to look up into the faces of the two boys.

Cian had turned to face her and gestured dismissively with his left hand at his little sister, Ciara, “Go away.  We are discussing and doing important things right now.  We don’t have time to play silly girl games.”

Tuan patiently watched as the little girl had summoned up her courage, and had taken a single step closer towards them, “Important things?  Maybe I can help?”  she suggested in a very meek and muffled voice as she still had part of her tunic’s collar in her mouth.

A slight tone of anger edged Cian’s voice as he attempted to drive her off with his brusque manner, “I told you this is important man stuff.  Now go away Ciara.  Get Bronagh or Ruad to play with you.  We want to be the first ones to see land.”

She had rushed forward in excitement; proclaiming proudly and in a louder then usual for her voice, “I wanna see!”

Another Update on Wurm's Blood

I have done the first edit of the Proof for Wurm's Blood.  Now my co-author is editing the proof and having me go over his edits.  Hopefully have it finished up as soon as possible.  Not really a whole lot more to say on the matter so I shall end it here for now.
