Another Update
I have been working on Chapter 7 and some scenes in future books for the Ashes of the Fallen Series. I also currently of this moment have 30.00 USD saved up towards a kick ass cover. I only need about 370.00 USD more and then once I have the cover illustration done I'll release the First Book of the Ashes of the Fallen Series: In The Shadows.: I am also still waiting for the completion of some more inside art I have already paid for the first book. I am so excited to see the finished products for these things. :D I also wrote up a little more for my novel Zmeij. well type up more when I have more to type up.

Working on Chapter 7 of Geometry of Souls! Yay!
Today I finished Chapter Six of Geometry of Souls. It's probably so far the shortest chapter in the book, but it's probably also one of the best as it deals with wrapping up a few things from the first book In the Shadows. Well onto Chapter Seven now. Not much more to say other then I'm once again going to try to save up money at the end of the month for the cover illustration. I'd really like to do a wrap around cover type thing but might not end up doing that as it might be more expensive then I can afford. Well I'll type more when I have more to type. And I'll leave you with a small sample from Chapter Five to give you an idea where the second book is somewhat going.
Those were the only words she spoke. Since the incident at her cousin's, Betlinde Byrr, estate Elphina had been locked away. Her only company had been the maid that brought her food, took out her chamber pot, and got her dressed at dawn and undressed at dusk. Her brother had not been to see her since he had locked her within her bedroom.
She ate sparingly of the food brought. She longed to see Reyner. She had to get him away from the Serpents and the Darkness. She could not lose him, he was the only one of her family who showed her any true kindness. Elphina could not let the Serpents and Darkness have him. He was her precious brother. Elphina could not think of how to convince him of her visions. He thought all her dreams nothing more then that dreams. He did not see the truth of their power, no one believed in her power to see the future. They could not understand her words when she spoke of her dreams. Only Erian understood, only the Emissary of Light, but he would not help her. He had more important things to concern himself with that. It was strange he even bothered to come to comfort her after her 'night terrors'.
EXCERPT:
" Elphina sat locked within her chambers sobbing with her knees gathered up against her breasts as she hugged them tight. She rocked on the cot muttering, "Darkness. Darkness..Brother? Where are you? Brother? " she sniffled as tears continued streaming down her sallow face, "Please don't leave me. The Darkness scares me....and I need you."Those were the only words she spoke.

Geometry of Souls Update
I got a good start on Chapter Five of Geometry of Souls. I still have one last scene to finish writing up in Chapter Four and I'll be done with chapter four. The scene involves the Necromancer and the Empress Ragnhildr. It is a good scene and so far I am enjoying writing up Geometry of Souls. I hope I can get it finished soon and start work on Book 3 Renegade. So far everything is going good with the second book. I am a happy with how things are progressing, but wish I could spend more time working on writing it. Not much more to type so I'll end it here.
EDIT: Finished Chapter Four and only have one more scene to write up for Chapter Five of Geometry of Souls. Then it's onto Chapter Six.
Further Edit: I finished Chapter Five and now it's onto Chapter Six. I probably should be in bed as it's late and I have work tomorrow but I just feel so in the flow of things now and I'd hate to break it for sleep.

An Update Once More
Made a payment for 2 more inside pictures for In the Shadows the First Book of the Ashes of the Fallen Series. Hopefully I shall have them sometime by the end of the month or sometime in February. I also worked more on Chapter 4 of Geometry of Souls, and started Chapter 4 for my novel Zmeij. So far I'm enjoying both stories and their direction their headed. Not much more to say then this so I'll end it here. Sorry so short.

GoS Update
I got a good start on Chapter 4. So far it's slow going on GoS. I hope to have it finished by the Winter of 2015 and then once done with it I will hopefully have the money for the cover for In the Shadows by then. That's roughly when I hope to release the First of the Ashes of the Fallen Series. However, if I do get enough for a cover before then I shall release it on the Nook and Kindle. If anyone is interested in seeing a print version of In the Shadows feel free to leave comments on if you want to see a print version or not. In the Shadows for those that don't know is part of a Fantasy Series I am working on called Ashes of the Fallen. It was inspired by J. Michael Straczynski, J.R.R. Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, and even a little of David Eddings. All this started because I wanted the question answered of What happens when the Servants Become the Masters, but before I can write that set of stories I have to write what lead up to that, and that is what Ashes of the Fallen is about. It's a series of books to set up that question as I realized I could not write it without leaving the reader wondering who these other characters were and are and their importance.
Here is a synopsis of the first Ashes of Fallen Book: In the Shadows: (for those that are curious)
Countless Millennia Ago Wars Had Been Raged Against The Darkness
Light Returned to the World At Great Costs
And the Ancient Enemy they believed defeated.....
IN THE SHADOWS....The Ancient Enemy begins to stir once more.
Mysterious attacks on the border towns of Norens threaten the peace of the Kingdoms of the continent of Easdal, and only one boy may hold the answers, Margan of Andars. He is what the Kalunesh call a Ripple of the Stone in Their Ancient Prophecy of Light.

Another Update
I was productive today and I worked more on Geometry of Souls. I finished up a scene I was having trouble with in Chapter 2. I only have two more scenes to write up. The one scene will be the last for Chapter 2 and the other scene I have to write up is the last for Chapter 3. So once I have these 2 scenes fleshed out I'll be on Chapter 4. That's a lot of good progress for one day I think. It's just getting those 2 scenes written up. I know what has to happen in them roughly the trick is just writing them out and figuring out how they should play out exactly. I have also commissioned up some more inside art for the First Book, In the Shadows. I really am looking forward to seeing how they come out. Not much more to say so I'll type more later when I have more to comment on.
Edit:
Finished Chapter 2 and 3 so I am now on Chapter 4 of Geometry of Souls.

January Update
I haven't written much up on here as I've not done much writing. But today I wrote up chapter four for Zmeij. I really need to focus and write more on Geometry of Souls which is the second book in my Ashes of the Fallen Series. However I am glad I did some writing today other then this blog entry. I did work some on Ashes of the Fallen last week, where I wrote up part of an important dream sequence. I still have another dream sequence to write up for that same chapter but with a different character. And I am also rather proud of the fact as I figured out a way to put in some more interesting parts of the Kalunesh's back story in through the dream sequence since they are about the past lives of the important characters in the story, both in the past and the present story's timeline. While not much more to say on my writing so I'll end it here for now. I'll type more when I have more to type.
