Updates

Even though the book cover and description haven’t been updated at Booklocker or Amazon (Barnes & Noble at least has the new cover, just not the description), the files at the printer have been replaced with the new version. It’s safe to go ahead and order.

While I sold a few hundred copies of book one, The Last Incarnation, I probably gave away just as many. Unfortunately I won’t be able to do that this time around. I am writing full-time now, though. I have two projects to complete and will begin work on book three, Out of the Dark. You can see its cover in the Books section.

There’s a new look to the trilogy, thanks to the artistic genius of Henning Ludvigsen. He did a fantastic job on the cover and interior illustrations for The Mists of Faeron, and to celebrate its release, I’m making book one available in the E-Serial section for free.

Once I’m ready to begin work on book three, I’ll post and update a News article with my progress until it’s finished.

Thank you everyone for your patience. I sincerely hope you enjoy the new book.

Luckily, I got it all down (I think). Because if I forgot something, I wouldn’t know it. :D  However, in the past, when I have forgotten cool ideas, they come back to me at a later time anyway. Just to give an idea of what I mean though, I spent six hours today doing nothing but writing down those ideas into my next chapter outline and book overview. Six hours of nothing but note-taking… These are some great ideas, but I also had to make them fit into an existing structure. Holy crap, I literally just remembered something I left out while typing this. Hold on.

Back. Wow, that was a big one to leave out too. Too bad I can’t tell you about it! I would have remembered it though by the time I got to that chapter. It feels like the book is quickly coming to an end. I know I have some 140 pages left, but as far events, scenes, it doesn’t seem like so many. I’ll be glad to have it done though. It really bothers me to have to tell people NOT to order the second book yet.

In other news, I’m being medicated for panic attacks. Awesome! Well, not really. See, a while back, I had excess fluid in my leg, no doubt from excess weight. I could literally push my thumb into the flesh near my ankle, and the print wouldn’t go away. So I of course went to the doctor. They said my blood pressure was a little high, like only 8 points or whatever, so to kill two birds with one stone, I was put on a blood pressure medicine that was also a diaretic. I was lifting weights pretty heavily at the time. In short, I became dehydrated and had a build up of keto-something or other in my kidneys (whatever breaks down from the muscle). The build-up caused kidney failure. I ended up in the emergency room with fun symtpoms like: very hard to breathe, chest pains, dizziness.

They gave me fluids, and I was fine. I stopped taking that medicine right away. However, any time I feel an odd pain or sometimes for no reason whatsoever, I can re-experience all those symtoms. Hence, panic attacks. At least the meds I’m on for it works fine, with no side-effects. They’re supposed to make you sleepy is all, but I yawn all the damn time anyway. Writing wears me out!

That’s enough sharing for now. I just thought I’d make a post, because I was pretty happy at all those cool notes I took today. I didn’t get any kind of writing done, mind you, but hey! Cool ideas abound! One of those ideas was even a tweak for the book’s ending, so I’m pretty happy with that. I’ll be starting chapter 13 tomorrow.
