I spent most of my 2017 writing and re-writing book one of the Legends of the Forsaken Empire series. While I wrote it, I realized there was another story to tell: A novella-sized overview of the era when the last alliances in the ancient Syvlande Empire were broken, and the Empire was abandoned amid the rise of a new faith.
Realm of Thorns will be a standalone story, complete, yet a bridge between its ancient history and its new era. Think of it as a lead-in to the New Testament age of our own world.
For fans of the Infinite series, this series won't be part of the Infinite series. However, the Infinite series *might* be understood as the ancient history of the Forsaken Empire series.
Just sayin'!
Stay warm and well throughout the winter's chill, dear everyone.
Hope your 2018 is blessed thus far!
What do you think of this mock-up cover?

=D I. Need. This. BOOK!!! It sounds SOOOO amazing!!!! I can't wait to read it!!! When will it be available?
When? Well ... I just started writing chapter 2. And I have to discuss publishing strategies with my agent. Traditional publishing takes years. Indie/hybrid publishing could have this available by the end of this year. Either way, it'll be a while before this one hits virtual and actual shelves.
However, it's a novella, so it could be finished within five months.
First sentence of ad-copy: Reckoning has come.
:D
(I shouldn't be so happy.)
Love the cover and the opening line just makes me want this book now even though I'm sitting next to a book pile 22 high waiting to be read. ;)
Hahaha! Meagan, thank you! I'm loving these characters already, and another plot twist hit me tonight while I was cleaning. Why can't those twists strike while I'm actually writing? I did write it down, however! A book pile 22 high?
You need some serious vacation time this year to catch up!!!
