Back after Summer

Hey! Welcome to the blog tour!

I haven’t had a lot of time to post here over the past few months. I’ve been busy. Being on the road like the nomad I am. And writing the sequel trilogy to Keepers of the Stone. Here are a few pictures of where one plot line in that sequel — Voyages of Fortune — will (almost) end. I’ll leave you to guess the exact location:

Other than that, I’ve been gathering inspiration for another new series, while traveling on my latest sojourn through the western Balkans. Its a great place to get inspiration!

I’ve long thought that the former Yugoslavia — and how it collapsed —  was like a tale you’d usually find in a fantasy novel. Except more interesting. Its real history. For my next project, I hope to bring that history and fantasy together (the working title is: Tito’s Lost Son: A Bylina of the Yugoslav Wars). Not only that. Some of the locations are really striking:

Coming back to Keepers: As happenstance would have it I’m going to be headed to a lot of the places that figure prominently in Keepers of the Stone: Book Three during the time that this tour is running. As it starts, I’ll be in Poland : Kraków and Warsaw, to be precise. In late October, I’ll be in Coventry, England. Where the trilogy’s epilogue is set.

I’ll be in Ireland during early October, too. It doesn’t figure in any of my books. But, who knows what I’ll find there? In all of these places, I hope to bring you a lot of pictures. Insights into why I set my books in the locales that I do. And facts about where I find inspiration.

 

If you haven’t already, anyone can get a free ebook copy of Keepers of the Stone: Book One here, for an email signup Or, for those who live in the UK or Ireland, you can enter to win one of two signed print copies of the entire Keepers trilogy until September 29.
