I like it. I also want to see more reader involvement. I've received many pre-orders from other writers because of my interactions with them. I would like to see if that can spread further into the reader community.
Mugs Raffle!! Want to see who won the cool Osoporto mugs? Click the video! But I will be contacting this person via email as well so I can get an address for shipping purposes. Thanks all for participating. There's still a Beagle Freedom Swag raffle so why not pre-order to get in on that, or order another copy if you already have. Nothing wrong with that!!

liked a comment in the forum thread, Does it make sense to add images within threads?
Hi all,
I commissioned a cover for Daughter of the Mara and I just uploaded the final image! Check it out and when you do be sure to pre-order if you haven't already. Less than a month until my campaign is over and I still have a ways to go, so make a new years resolution to support the arts and pre-order Daughter of the Mara.
Thank you all for your support!

The mission for today is accomplished, another 1.003 words added to the manuscript! In total 7.423 words!
I decided to break the previous scene in two as it was too long and it just made sense. That makes the first chapter complete, 4 scenes in total.
Today I worked on the 5th scene, the beginning of the second chapter. The first part of it in Russian was 448 words, somehow in English it got to 1.003 :)
Plan for tomorrow - to add another 1.000 words and to finish the scene.
Hi Vanishians,
First of all I'd like to say thank you for all of your support and kindness. Without you, my book would not be in the process of becoming a reality, and I would have a lot of trouble on my hands.
I'm happy to announce that my book structure is being reviewed as you read this very update by trusted friends and family! I'm having a lot of fun writing to the Beatles on Spotify, and soon I'll be able to adjust the story line to make it even more exciting if necessary. If anyone is interested in seeing what happens in my book, contact me and I'd be more than happy to send a copy of the structure to you.
Have a phantasmagorical Tuesday!

Well, its Tuesday again and unfortunately I don't have a blog post to announce, but I did come up with an idea late last night so I won't disappoint next week. As for Exile, Magus' funding status: we're at 68 orders, 265 followers, and only 17 days left to hit the funding goal, so for all of you who haven't ordered you should not delay much longer(or at all) and go ahead and hit the order button. My thanks to all of you who have ordered, will ordered, and have supported in other ways such as recommending to others.
Beyond that I thought I would use the bulk of my Tuesday update to give another nod to a book which all of you fans of epic fantasy will enjoy. With only 12 days remaining and 95 copies left to order, this book needs your help!
Storm of Fury by Andrew Wood is an epic fantasy novel set in a war-torn land besieged by its own god. While avoiding a seemingly endless web of political schemes and plots, a young man must overcome his own lack of skill to confront his deity.

OR, read more about it now:
If there was one thing in certain in life, it was that man was a sinful creature. It his nature, it permeates his mind and perhaps even his very soul. It is whispered that once, long ago, man could simply ask for forgiveness, and it would be granted freely. But not anymore…
The great, almighty god Na’lek has scorned his creation, angered by their constant failings and unholy acts. Now, his divine rage is made manifest as an immense, supernatural storm. This is the Fury, and its sole purpose is to eradicate mankind.
This eternal war, god against man, has continued for countless years. The Fury has assailed men for so long that even the storm’s origins have grown vague in the minds of the people. This was the era that Kaven was born into.
After nearly two decades of proving himself over and over to be a failure in all he does, Kaven is presented with an opportunity. While the world falls apart around him, Kaven is tasked to go out into the Fury and beg for mankind’s forgiveness, one last time.
But if Kaven can survive the perils within the storm, the anger of his god and the treachery of his fellow man, the secrets that he uncovers may be far too much for him to bear…

And take a look at what John Robin and myself had to say about Storm of Fury: "The world Andrew Wood takes us to with this story is superb and believable. It's a tough act to establish a storm as an antagonist, but Wood does a great job of creating real extensions of this storm that give it a tangible, menacing presence, a la George R. R. Martin's White Walkers or Jordan's Myrdraal. In fact, the mood and tone very much conjured the familiar world of Wheel of Time, where instead of a dark one we have a menacing storm that is just as terrifying. This is fine epic fantasy and I very much hope to see this book in print so I can read it in its entirety." -John Robin, author of Blood Dawn
"A wonderfully immersive example of what epic fantasy should be. Whether describing the fury of a divinely created storm, the horror of monsters and titans, or the love of pastries shared by father and son soldiers it does so in a fast paced but highly detailed way. It will leave you wanting to know more about what are both highly developed characters and a highly detailed world. I can't wait to read the entire book." -Thomas J. Arnold, author of Exile, Magus

Hello everyone !
It's been a fantastic couple of weeks for The Children of the Forest, and despite some solid competition from many of the other entrants in the 2nd S&L contest, we've managed to hold onto one of the top 5 places! I've really enjoyed the entire process, and as we near the end of the contest it's still looking like a toss-up for 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th place. Looking ahead, we have one final fundraiser scheduled for the 10th, so all local followers and friends are invited to come out and support us with free food and drink as we attempt one final rally for the book.
I'll be working on edits and some other stuff all day, and I'm hoping to have chapter 8 posted by the end of tonight. For all my followers that have yet to pre-order a copy, please consider jumping in and taking the plunge. There's currently more than 20,000 words from my book available to read, and your purchase enters you for a chance to win a $250.00 Amazon Gift Card (drawing to be held on January 15th)!
Until next time ~
