Hi all,
The follower count is slowly ticking up. Hooray! Tell your friends. :)
The complete rewrite of Volume I, The Fractured Table, is complete. I'm about half-way through an editing pass now to clean up a few of the gremlins that crept in during the rewrite and then it will be ready for a test readers. That said, I don't think there's anyway the project is ready to launch this month, or that I'll be able to do a Legends & Demons set for Christmas this year as originally planned. I feel that the rewrite has done a great deal to streamline the story and make it more accessible to readers (we'll find out soon if I'm right). However, it's also moved the goal posts a bit, and I don't think I'm writing a duology anymore.
The new plan is The Fractured Table - a volume with Hanita (a homeless girl on the run in the near future) as the main character and including journal entries from Paedrig (the priest in the distant past).
Volume II will pickup at the end of The Fractured Table with Dewayne (a delta force sniper from the near future) as the main character. It will contain some flashbacks to give his perspective on a few events from Fractured Table, but will cover his story setting up for A Rising Sense of Dread. I don't have a title for it, and it may be novella length or a full novel. While most of the material is already written, it will take a good bit of editing and streamlining for it to flow together with volume I.
Volume III is going to depend a bit on how much of Paedrig's story I can tell from Dewayne's perspective. It's possible, I'll need a novella to bring readers up to speed on what's been happening with Paedrig before we dive into A Rising Sense of Dread. Or it's possible, that I'll go back to the ensemble cast approach, changing perspectives for the final book. The end will be headlined by Elliot (the SAS Demolitions expert and swordfighter) and Paedrig.
Anyhow, that's the plan. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
All the best,
TDCC
