Hello my Knightmares!
As promised on my Facebook page and in my last update, I have a few things I want to share with you all. It has been quite an eventful month of March, which I have found myself as busy as I have ever been. Why is that, you ask? Let me count the ways!
1) GAFino.com - I just launched a new Author’s website. Please check it out when you get a chance, as I will be adding more and more content over the course of the next year leading up to The Knightmares publication. AND WHILE YOU’RE THERE...
2) ...check out SCALES - One of the many things I have been pondering was how to keep my backers, and potential backers, engaged during this time as I wait my turn to start working on the publication process.
What I came up with is SCALES - MYTHOLOGY. What is that, you ask? As I’ve mentioned before, my books will all take place in a shared universe. That universe has a unique beginning that sets the stage for the events that take place in THE KNIGHTMARES and others.
With my love of mythology, I decided to write my own.
So I present to you, SCALES - GENESIS, part one of a monthly series of installments that will tell the tale of the world, how it came to be, and the many creatures and realms that exist there. Please read and let me know what you think.
"SCALES has a deep mythology spanning from the beginning of the Third Dimension, to present day. Readers familiar with Greek, Egyptian, Roman, Norse, and Christian mythologies will all see something familiar, as well as a generous helping of Lovecraftian mythos."
The Mythology will be broken down into eight parts, each with multiple installments.
Stay with me! More to come!
3) MUM - A few weeks ago I was asked to join a collective of other authors interested in publishing a short story anthology. Luckily, I have had an idea for a short story for quite some time and have been searching for an opportunity to use it. Though I wasn’t necessarily prepared to start writing something other than VEXED, my next novel, I decided this was an opportunity too good to pass up.
Coming this fall, my 10,000 word short story will be called "Mum"
MUM is story somewhere between Stephen King’s famous short story, "The Body" and the movie "Kiss The Girls." It takes place in the fictional town of Grace Falls, where three teenage boys find themselves in the path of a serial killer in the summer of 1986.
3) VEXED - My second novel is still in the works, and has obviously taken a back burner to the previously mentioned projects, but that doesn’t mean it is not actively on my mind. I have 5 pages of notes for changes and ideas on how to improve the manuscript.
Stay tuned on updates for Vexed in the months to come!
That’s all for now! Check out SCALES - GENESIS, and keep an eye out for MUM sometime this fall with updates coming soon!
