Perhaps a little left-field, but I have two cunning new projects I hope to have released within the next month or two. One I'm keeping schtum about (it's something entirely different), and the other is a serial. The first part will definitely be free, to help garner interest, and I haven't quite decided how to cut up the other chapters into reasonable sizes. The total, right now, is about 27-30,000 words.
It's a sort of Chinese classic meets Robin Hood adventure story, called Wandering Phoenix and Roaming Tiger. Lots of action, a fast pace, and heroic/nefarious characters. Should be a lot of fun.
It's quite a different style for me, the closest equivalent would be Sir Edric, but this has more heroism and less humour (although there are still some nice one-liners).
I'm hoping to do at least a little artwork for it to help promotion, and I also need to do a slight redraft, as well as sort out for certain just how I'm going to chop it up. The ending is open, so if sales suffice I can keep going in serial format with no problem.
So, keep your eyes peeled. Wandering Phoenix and Roaming Tiger will be soaring through the skies and prowling through the jungles soon enough.
