A bit earlier than usual, but my weekend has been a bit more hectic than usual. As a result I'm feeling exhausted enough to where my usual sleeplessness will not be a factor which keeps me up until after sunrise, so since its technically Monday where I am I'll just go ahead and post up the first half of Chapter 1.
Its flow is undoubtedly different than what those of you have read the other chapters I've posted up are used to from me. More heavy on the exposition and indulgent of my love of world-building, but both are there to show you just where Pentaz comes from and as such the root of his... social issues shall we say?
This first introduction to Pentaz is also to a much more awkward/less capable fellow, as he is but a sheltered young dwarven man of a mere 66 years of age(little more than a teenager by his people's standards). The last half of Chapter 1 will be posted up on Thursday, and its shows the first of a series of events that force Pentaz to change for both better and worse.
Part 1 of Chapter 2 will be posted next Monday, with the remainder of that Chapter following on Thursday. I'm looking forward to posting that up, because it is the initial introduction to Buscidia. Anyway, I'll stop chattering on about things a week or more away and just send this thing out.
Again, thanks to everyone for your support, and hope you enjoy the story now that it'll be coming in the order intended.
About to cycle the featured chapter again, this time to 11. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get to the backlog of reading I've accumulated on here. So many great sounding books to sample and perhaps preorder, so little time to actually read the samples provided. Then Thursday I'll be posting up the remainder of chapter 1, leading into what I've now decided will be Saturday's cycling the featured chapter back to the first half of chapter 1 and Sunday's removal of all chapters after that so I can post these things up to actually read in the correct order.
Thanks to everyone, and while I may be slow in getting to following through on reading up on each recommendation & pitch I'm sent, rest assured that I am paying attention to them and fully intend to read what portions of each one are posted up. I unfortunately will not be able to preorder every one of them that I want to, but I will do what little I can to spread the word about all of the good books I have seen in my short time here.
