About The Inventor's Son Series
The Inventor's Son series actually began its journey a long time ago, while I was still in grade school. The idea was a young boy who had to go look for his father after something disastrous happened to force his father to run. The story line sat in the back of my mind and I had gone on to other things.
Last summer, I decided I was going to begin publishing my original fiction works. Other people were doing it and getting their ideas and work out before readers, so I figured I would try my hand at it as well. I went through my journals and computer files, where I've got ideas for books all stored away for future use. I had a series about angels that I'd started, one about vampires, and a space opera. The space opera had a universe I could start working this story line into, and very early drafts of this series had Ethan Stanwood as the son of a scientist who had gone off to another planet to do some research and that his uncle sabotaged the research.
So, you may be asking yourself, why did I change the setting from a sprawling space opera to Steampunk fantasy? The reasons were: 1) Because I thought the idea that Ethan would be flying all over the universe was going to be a bit too much for me to handle, as I myself am not the biggest fan of hard science fiction, and I know my tendency to want to keep things accurate as far a space travel and different planets goes and 2) I love history, and when I started to take notice of Steampunk as a genre, I realized I could easily take my plot and put it in a fantasy version of Victorian London, and then have Ethan try to find his father as he travels to different places around the world.
The result was finally finished and published to Kindle store as Book 1 in May 2014. The material I had originally thought to include as a prologue was expanded and published to Kindle store and then to Nook store as a stand-alone work in June of 2014. As I write this, The Beginning will be available at Kobo, iBooks and Scribd. Book 1 will follow to all those outlets and Nook store in mid-August 2014.
Moving forward, I am working on the next installment of the series, which will continue to chronicle Ethan's travels and travails with his group.
