A Secret Revealed…

I can finally talk about the un-disclosed project I have been working on. An editor from John Wiley & Sons, Inc contacted me a short while ago. They are the largest computer book company in the world. Not to mention all of their other areas of focus and brands they own. They contacted me to write a book about computers, called the Extreme Tech: How to Build the Ultimate Gaming PC. I of course accepted and have been writing furiously on it as the book has a Christmas publication date.

Check it off, its done!

I have completed work on the book, Extreme Tech: How to Build the Ultimate Gaming PC. It feels very good to have that over with. From what I understand since all deadlines were made it should be out in October. Once I get more details I will post them and a link to the book on Amazon.

Already I am in the midst of another large project. It’s easier for me to jump from one to another without a break. I hope to have this one done before the end of July. As it is not actually a novel I might find a way to self-publish it once it is complete. I will keep you updated as things progress.

Time for a re-write

I have been very busy on re-writing the first book. I have completely changed the beginning and I feel the new result gives a much stronger and more vibrant feel to the world and the characters. Also with the geography of Aerinth changing I felt it was necessary to start them physically closer to their goal.

Another one is done!

Book Three, The Acquisitioners: Chronicles Volume One is complete! At least in first draft. I finished it a few days ago and I am extremely pleased with the results. The book comes is about 93000 words.

It was a difficult task. My life has been extremely busy these last few months. Through my other job, I have been traveling back to Europe, hitting Italy, Germany, Belgium, France, and my long missed England. I must say, jet lag does not help the writing process.

The plan was to now go straight back to work on a revision of Book Two, but a sample of Book One has been requested so I, as always, feel the need to go back through it and give it a little more polish. Actually, I have come up with a completely new beginning, one I feel is much, much stronger than what is already there. So I will be diligently working on that for a while, or at least as much as I can between my next trip to Washington DC and also one back to Italy.

Close to the end

While working on the new secret project I am also working hard and diligently on Book Three, and I can finally see the end coming near. In the next week or two, if luck is on my side, I should have the rough draft of it completed! I am very excited about this, there is a lot in it that is completely new to me in terms of writing styles, so to have it be done will be for me a great achievement.

Once that is done, and as I juggle the other projects I will be going back full speed for a complete rewrite of Book Two; The Gem of the Gods.

Secrets Abound!

Sorry for the long delay, things have been busy, but in a good way. I have been asked to work on a currently un-disclosed project, which I am very excited about. It is always heartening when others find your skills desirable for their projects.

I have started this project and soon hope I can share with everybody what it is about. It is hard to gauge how long this will take, but I will be shortly devoting a large amount of my time to it.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for all the kind words, I am glad the sample of The Chamber of the Heart short-story is being so well received! All the initial reviews have been favorable.

I would like to give a big thank you James Russell for his tremendous help in getting the sample ready to be released. Thank you very much for taking so much of your personal time to get this story out to the world.

There is good news for all of you who have asked for more stories to read. While not part of the Acquisitioners saga I have updated the Stories section to include the published Lejends Magazine stories. I have also posted the third story from the set for you to read!

Site Update

The Characters Page has been updated. For anybody new to the series it gives a nice overview of who Lalliard and Macal are.

I will be adding that information as a preface page to the sample story so that readers can start off with a more familiar relationship with the characters.

Sample The Chamber of the Heart!

A 47-page sample of The Chamber of the Heart is now available for download!

Please download a copy, read it, and then let us know what you think. And please pass it around!

I choose this story to use as the sample because I feel it gives the reader a good sense of the world and the characters.

The complete short story is 32,197 words and 74 pages long. It is the first story in The Acquisitioners: Chronicles Volume One novel.

I hope you enjoy it!
