Book 2 Begins Chapter One

Wrote up the first scene of Chapter One on the Nook this morning.  I also wrote some notes on Chapter 2 and 3 of this book.  Feeling really good about that.  I'm on my way and plunging into Book 2, Geometry of Souls.  This one should be really good as it will start to introduce things like the Tal'Varesh and the Necromancer.  It will also open up more of the Ainar Court then has been previously seen in Book 1 In the Shadows, I am thinking.  It'll be a fun ride to get to the end of this series I think.  I still haven't had the time to start saving up money for a cover for Book 1 but sent a note on DA to an artist I think would be cool to do some inside art for In the Shadows so I'll have that as teasers of what's inside Book 1 if artist accepts commission.  Not much else to type so type more when I more to type.

It is Done.

The first book of Ashes of the Fallen: In The Shadows: is now done.  I have finished the first book and feel very glad to have it finally finished.  It's been a long journey to reach this point.  But the journey is far from over.  There are 7 more books to write for this series.  Now I can focus on Book 2 of Ashes of the Fallen: Geometry of Souls:   Things will only intensify in it as the Great War looms ever closer.  Sadly I will not release this first book until I have the second book finished and the third one started.  That should give me time to save up money for an awesome cover I hope for this first book.  I have some artist in mind for it.  Not much else to say so I'll type more when I have more to tell.

At Last On The Last Chapter At Last

 I finally got Chapter 25 completed to my satisfaction, and I have only one more chapter to write up for In the Shadows.  Once I have the time to write up Chapter 26 I'll jump immediately into the second book of the Ashes of the Fallen Series, which I am called Geometry of Souls.  I already have the opening for it already written up so I'm looking forward to writing it.  And looking even more forward to when I have the money to start buying art for these books as I have some cool scenes I'd like to see illustrated.  Not sure if they'd be cool scenes to others, but I know I'd think they are cool to see.  Not much more to say so I'll type more later when I have more to say.

News on Chapter 25

Finally have Chapter 25 finished...well for the most part.  I'm adding in one more scene that I need to transfer over from paper that I had written while at work.  Then I can finally write up the last chapter for this First book.  It feels like I've been working on this book for a long time.  I think I've been working on it for close to three to four years.  I am really happy so far with this new and latest version as it's taking the time to get to know the characters in the story better.    I hope people will like it once I have it up for public consumption.  Not much more to say except I'll type more when I have more to type.  Until then later.

News on Chapter 25 and Chapter 26

I have just one scene to write up for chapter 25 that I'm stuck on how to word it.  I know what I want to happen just struggling on how to put it into the right words.  I also got a good start on chapter 26, which is the last chapter for the First book in Ashes of the Fallen.   Once I have it all finished up going to plunge right into Book 2, Geometry of Souls.  Had to push back saving up money for art.  I'll start saving up money in October due to unforeseen expenditures. I'm going to be saving up for an inside art piece, cover piece and back cover piece for the First Book, In The Shadows.  The characters that shall be featured in the art pieces will be Margan, Seren, and Rudal.   The Second book I'm thinking the cover will have Kaari and the Necromancer on it.  Haven't really written a lot of it up yet, so not sure what the piece of inside art will be if it has any.  Not much more to type on my writing so I'll stop here until next time.

Song of the Grey Witch

A song/poem I've been tinkering with centered around Karla the Grey Witch from Record of Lodoss War.  She is my favorite character in Lodoss War.  And when I say Lodoss War I mean the OVA and not the stupid tv series.  Which to me lacked the depths of the OVAs.

Without further ado here it is:

Watching, watching from Shadows,
as She burns with a secret truth only She knows,
so She takes the risk and She gambles,
gambles with countless lives.
Lives are nothing to Her as she plays hero or villian as Her pawns,
She must keep it balanced like the edge of knives.

Power, Power can never be allowed to settle,
in The Darkness or The Light,
So once again with people's lives She meddles,
allowing neither side to win The Endless Fight.


She is the Eyes of Gods looking down,
From a circlet on Her forehead crowned.
Five hundred years She wanders across the land,
Causing these war to bring peace to all Lodoss.
Her tears left unshed
as She swallows countless kingdoms in bloodshed.
Her Love for Lodoss makes her blind.
To ensure Fate and History are properly carried out is Her design.
blind and deaf She ignores the People crying out in their grief,
The Secret Truth, she will not sway, not sway from Her Belief.

Watching, always watching from the Shadows,
Burning, Burning so hot with the Secret Truth only She knows.
Takings Risks and Gambling with lives,
as to bring peace to Lodoss She strives,
With time each body She discards,
like worn out garments she throws them away.
As she begins her quest again.
Endless she must struggle to keep the Peace.

Lodoss shall be saved by War,
So She believes.

Chapter Twenty Five News

I got the first scene written up for Chapter Twenty-Five.   I am quite proud how I expanded out that scene from my notes on it.  I only have two more scenes to write up for Chapter Twenty-Five and I hope they turn out as good as the first scene.  I also have in mind what two inside art pieces well be for the story.  In truth I probably can only afford two inside arts for this one and the cover picture.  It'll be the first story I've written to have inside art.  I wanted to have some inside art for my Friar Fisher and Wiccan/Hultan stories, but I didn't have enough money at the time I published them.  However this time I'm going to be waiting until I finish the Geometry of Souls (second book in Ashes of Fallen series) before I publish the first one so that should give me enough time to hopefully save up enough money for all that.  I am going to try to take 20.00 dollars out a paycheck to pay for it when I can afford to do so...which will probably be the end of September and beginning of October.
