Bizarre Tales Misc Updates
After a ten-month project where I created The Cosmos of Despair I am at last ready to get back on my latest Ansen story - a sequel to Blonde Goddess. As part of a branding project I recently designed a Bizarre Tales logo which I've added to the covers - a symbol anchoring my GoodReads blog to the stories in a more concrete fashion. In the latest release of Valley and Cosmos I have included a link to this blog - a feature I will incorporate in future releases.
Check out these latest covers when you can - available at retailers of your choice where my works are available. Note that as these were just republished there may be a time delay in them showing up everywhere.
At the suggestion of a writer-mate in the UK I revisited Valley of Despair, editing the story to more-fully flesh out certain characters and events. There weren't many changes to the story, just a bit more attention to detail, changes to the dialogue to make it flow more easily, etc. It grew by some 10k words.
The story previously ended as a cliff-hanger with the tale picking up in Cosmos right where Valley ended. To give the reader a better feeling of closure with the Valley yarn I moved some of the stuff to Cosmos and ended Valley in a better fashion. If read them back-to-back you wouldn't notice anything really - it just made for a better closing in Valley to move certain things to Cosmos which really belong in that story.
For now I will be working on finishing The Banshee of the Atacama which will be my second release in the Tales of the Tomahawk series. I've conceived two more stories so Ansen will be keeping me busy for awhile - unless I get sidetracked on something I don't yet know about, that is.
If you haven't been introduced to him yet, give Ansen a try. He's an interesting character. A Norse lad, he is raised by Arapaho. He then goes on to fight in WW1, afterward becoming a globetrotter. Having inherited a tomahawk that is in reality a spiritual token of power that combats evil supernatural forces, he finds himself in quite some predicaments. Blonde Goddess is a story I feel H. P. Lovecraft might have enjoyed containing as it does other worldly entities of titanic proportions hearkening to the Elder Ones.
Anyway, until next time.
