First Public Appearance

I just booked a table at the Bookshelf in Newmarket on Saturday May 13th 2017.  This will be the first time I attempt to sell my books in public.  I'm not sure what to expect, but I look forward to meeting new readers as well as other local authors.  I'm quite nervous about this, but also very exited.  There is a lot of work to do in preparation and I'm confident everything will be ready to go.

Age of Becoming will be released May 3rd, so it will be about a week old.  I will have copies of that book, as well as A Brother's Will available.
 

A Brother's Promise

Last week I began writing the second installment of 'A Brother's Will', tentatively titled 'A Brother's Promise.'  Progress seems to be moving well as I have already passed the 6,000 word mark.  I expect this book to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 60,000, which would be roughly the same size as 'Age of Becoming.'

It is nice to return to these characters that I spent so much time with a few years ago.  Since they already have defined personalities, I hope the writing moves at a quicker pace than it did a few years ago.  If all goes well, I expect to have a first draft finished by the end of May, 2017.

Where Shadows Go To Die- First Draft Complete

I just finished writing the first draft of a book called Where Shadows go to Die. It is a standalone Western Fantasy novel. I'm hoping to have this out by the end of 2017. Here is a short blurb:
It is rumored that the notorious outlaw Bloodless Joe is immortal, but it’s possible that it may all be in his mind. When he wakes in the middle of the desert with no knowledge of how he got there, he’s stunned to find that he has aged significantly. After he is befriended by a mysterious man named Jin and saved by a woman named Clara, it sets into motion a search for Joe’s missing years as well as a way to stop the growing threat that plagues the world. With Jin and Clara’s help, Joe will have to piece the past together and confront a frightening truth.
WHERE SHADOWS GO TO DIE delves into the psyche of a once homicidal outlaw as he discovers he no longer has violent urges. Instead, he focuses on ways to repair his fragile memory and come to terms with the destruction left in his wake.

Age of Becoming- Release Date

I've finally decided on a release date for the second book in the Kallodhan series called 'Age of Becoming'.  The book will be available starting May 3rd, 2017.  The book has been completed, but some promotional work will need to be done before the release.

With the first book in the series, I just put it on Amazon as a digital copy in hopes that it would be discovered.  I had no idea how to get it out there or drum up some buzz, so I'm taking a different approach with 'Age of  Becoming'.  We will see if this yields any results.

In other exciting news, I finally had some printed copies made of 'A Brother's Will'.  The prints turned out better than I expected and I ordered 25 copies which have all since sold.  I wish that I had printed copies created a long time ago, but with the second book on the horizon, the timing now seemed right.
