Short stories

Hope you all had a merry Christmas, and enjoy a good 2014.

Progress on Kingdom Asunder has slowed somewhat recently. Partly that's because I was redrafting the plot outline and, er, forgot to write what Ch6 was meant to be. I have put together a basic outline and started writing it, though.

The other reason is rather more positive, namely that I've been trying my hand at a few short stories. If accepted, they'll be included in anthologies which will be traditionally published. As well as a nice line to add to any future cover letter and a little bit of money (with many authors the income from an anthology is necessarily a small percentage of what it would be for a single author novel) I'm hoping that anyone reading a short story will think how splendid it is, and then go and see what else I've written.

Kingdom Asunder is easily the most complicated and ambitious story I've ever written, and is likely to be the longest as well. An ETA is hard to try and conjure up, particularly with the short stories (I'm going to try and redraft them and write the first draft of Kingdom Asunder at the same time). If I can get it released in 2014 I'll be very happy.

I also plan on writing more of Sir Edric's stuff. I'll wait and see how I feel at the time, but if I get into the redrafting of Kingdom Asunder and have no other work to do I might start fleshing out storylines for Sir Edric's ongoing misadventures (ably assisted by Dog, of course). Right now I'm thinking of plague, treasure-hunting with Orff and rescuing an old flame as potential storylines.

Anyway, by chapters I'm roughly a quarter into Kingdom Asunder, so that's not bad.

Kingdom Asunder has begun

Or, to be more precise, I've started to write it.

Kingdom Asunder will be a full-length novel set in the same world as Bane of Souls and Journey to Altmortis. At present, I think there will be no returning characters from either of those books. However, it's also the start of a trilogy, and it's possible certain characters (most probably of the Kuhrisch variety) might return in the second book.

It's the first time for about a year and a half I've begun a first draft of a 'serious' fantasy (I wrote the first third of Journey to Altmortis before Bane of Souls was released), and it's taken me a little while to get going, but things seem to be running more smoothly now.

I expect it'll take the longest to write of any book so far. A 2014 release is possible, but it could easily run into 2015.

My intention is to release two versions: a full, and priced, copy and a Regency Edition, which follows the Regent's half of the story and is free.

In addition, there's a reasonable chance that something else of mine might be released in the meantime.

    About Me
    I've always loved reading
    and writing, particularly fantasy and classical history. I'm also quite into F1 and politics and have no idea why this section is double-spaced.
