Something New

 

I’ve had a pretty busy schedule writing wise.  I’m working on four different novels right now, one of them being the frequently requested sequel to DQR, called A Light in the Darkness.  Along the way, I was inspired to do something I’ve never really done before:  I’m writing a novella.

DQR: A Light Undimmed, is set during the events of DQR and really highlights some aspects of the novel which impacted Marcus but couldn’t be explored or even fully discussed because they were beyond his scope of awareness and would have bogged down DQR too much to try to work in.  So, A Light Undimmed starts during a key scene in DQR and follows a group of smaller secondary characters present in the scene and shows those parts of DQR‘s events Marcus could never see, but really help to give a fuller picture.  The novella began as a short story, a means of showing off in short fiction my writing to prospective agents and editors.  However, as is often the case with me, the story wouldn’t stick to a few thousand words.  Rather than try to formally publish it, since this is a corollary to DQR, I thought it would be nice to let everyone who enjoyed DQR have a little more to enjoy while they patiently (very much appreciated) wait on A Light in the Darkness.  So, starting today, every week I’ll release a “chapter” of A Light Undimmed.  There are three parts to the novella and there’ll be a little extra break in between each part’s release.  Part I has four chapters, and the link below is to the first of them.

For those of you who haven’t read DQR, A Light Undimmed is a nice place to get a feel for it, though it will contain indirect spoilers for events in DQR.  For those of you who have read DQR and are as excited about this as I am, thank you for reading and your support.  I hope everyone enjoys this new dimension of DQR, and as always, I pray it will honor the Lord.
