November update
Dear readers, time for an update.
Book 2 is well under way. I hope you all have as much fun reading it as I am writing it.
Thanks to all those who signed up for the giveaway. If you’ve yet to receive your free copy yet, sit tight! It’s on the way! And don’t forget to leave me a review.
And just a special thanks to everyone who’s shown an interest in the story, scoured “City” for those (hopefully) last few typos, helped me me out with reviews on Amazon, Goodreads or LibraryThing, and given me the motivation to continue with my passion.
Keep spreading the word

Book 2
Update:
I now have a mailing list, and Aethos has its own Facebook page and Twitter account. They can all be found in the “Follow and Like” section, so get clicking!
As promised, here’s the current status of Book 2.
The story itself is almost completely written, as I originally wrote Book 1 and 2 together as one story. I split them when it became clear that the story was too large for me to ever finish to my satisfaction in the time I had available to me. Thus, the start point and end point are solidified; the major characters are fleshed out; the locations are vividly real in my imagination; and all of the major events have gone through several drafts and edits.
That all sounds rather hopeful, but the work is still in need of major revision. My writing has improved over the past few years, so much so that Book 2 requires near-complete rewriting, saving but a few colourful analogies and some smoothly-flowing dialogue.
The process will, of course, be much more straightforward and expedient than Book 1 (see how hopeful I am?), the more so depending on how much positive feedback and interest I receive. So, if you haven’t done so already, subscribe to my mailing list, like my Facebook page, and leave me a review on Amazon.
And watch out for more news!

Let the writing commence
Here it is, my first post on writing!
How exciting. Well, it’s exciting for me anyway.
I’m still busy setting my blog, and living life and stuff, so I’ll just briefly spell out the purpose of this blog and what to expect from it in the future.
This will be my main outlet for posting news about my writing projects, specifically concerning the progress of my currently-in-production trilogy. Whenever a milestone is reached (like I start writing), I’ll post it here. Whenever nothing happens, I’ll post it here. See? Exciting!
If you’re reading this then you probably already now that my first novel is out. If you don’t have a copy, steal it from a friend. Or ask me for a free one. Either way, all I care about is that you leave me a review on Amazon, so get to it!
And since this a news-based blog, here’s some news:
My novel is currently unavailable while I tweak a few typos (Special thanks to Maarten and Mum). It’ll be up again within a week or so, and when it is… wait for it… I’ll post that news here!
Here’s a link, coz why not?
Also, in the interest of building suspense, I’ll provide a more detailed picture of the current status of Book 2… in the next post.
So sign my Guestbook (once I’ve set it up), like me on Facebook (once I’ve created a page for the novel) and join my mailing list! (There will be one soon, I promise.)
Thanks for visiting, and leave a comment! (Please. I need to know if comments are working or not.)
