Camp is Over...and it was Rainy

     Well, Camp NaNoWriMo 2015 is over and I didn't achieve what I had hoped to, but on the bright side I did better than I ever have in the past. On the positive side camp did ignite my writing once again and allowed me to bust through the block I had been experiencing-so that's a good thing. I'm pretty optimistic I will achieve my spring/summer writing goals. What that translates into is that I will finish my second novel and continue to contribute to Lorekeeper's Inn on a regular basis. As a side note, the stories I post in Lorekeeper's can also be found on wattpad.

     One of the contributing factors to me missing my goals for camp was the finding of a series I have really enjoyed reading. The Dragon Brigade Series by Margaret Weis and Robert Krammes  have transported me back to my high school days where I would stay up late devouring Dragonlance novels and lose myself for hours in the amazing cover art of Larry Elmore.

     I like to read a mixture of fantasy, from heroic and high fantasy to the new wave of grimdark novels. I'm a fantasy junkie that enjoys characters I can relate to with larger than life heroes and heroics that are sprinkled with a liberal dash of hulking swords and momentous battles. I have to say that now is a great time to be a reader of this absolutely wonderful genre.

Camp NaNoWriMo and Everything Else

     I started this years Camp NaNoWriMo in the hope that it would help me break through some motivational issues and writer's block I have been dealing with. With a little over a week into the contest I feel like I am falling behind, and let me say that really sucks. I don't even have a good excuse; I could blame my wife babysitting but that's what headphones were invented for and that wouldn't be very nice of me. Honestly I think it's just that the weather has been so nice to be outside in, and after another hard winter I just struggle being inside.

     Good news though, I have written several more pages on my new novel and sequel to Ascent of the Holy Blade, just not as much as I would have liked to. Also, I am slowly getting the second chapter of The Unwilling Package done. I work on this during my breaks at work so it's a little slow going. To be honest I might need to change the name, it doesn't flow very well. Originally I had thought it would be a short story but I think it could turn into a novella- only time will tell.

     As far as my novel, Ascent of the Holy Blade, goes, sales are sluggish and reviews are nonexistent. If you are a fan of fun and fast paced fantasy, I really suggest you give my book a go. I won't lie to you and say it's a perfect book, but I will promise you that if you read it to the end you will enjoy the tale. To give you readers a larger taste of the book I will be releasing a few more chapters on Wattpad today.  I really hope you take the time to check it out.

      Once again, here is the link to my novel on Amazon. Ascent of the Holy Blade ebook

New Story!!!

     Starting a couple of months ago I decided to work with another author and post our stories on a new blog entitled Lorekeeper's Inn. He and I  will post stand alone tales a long with co-operative stories set in a shared world- the idea being that we build off each other and maybe create enough stories to do an anthology.

     My first contribution to this world has been posted, The Unwilling Package, Chapter One. It is an introductory tale to show readers how Lorekeeper's Inn and its proprietor help people in the Yolzin Empire. I will be updating the tale with new chapters as I squeeze them in between working on my second novel and sequel to Ascent of the Holy Blade while balancing work at the factory and my son starting baseball.

     Last fall I tried to do NaNoWriMo and failed miserably, I think I wrote about 6,000 words. I blame World of Warcraft for releasing their new expansion that month and my weakness for that accursed game. Anyway, next month is the start of Camp NaNoWriMo and I have signed up with the goal of achieving what I failed to do last November. I will be working on Hand of the Black Blade and hoping that the contest will give me the drive to finish it.

     April is going to be a busy month but I'm looking forward to the challenge. Thanks for reading!

Looking Forward

It's been awhile since I last posted on a Writer's Sojourn so I'm going to do a quick update on what's been going on and where I hope to be going.

Unfortunately I have had a bit of writing blues over the last few months and my new book has taken a hit, but fear not I believe the darkness has passed and I have been writing away once more. I've contributed to my other author blog a first chapter for a new ongoing tale in a shared universe with author Justin O' neal. It is titled, The Unwilling Package and is the first part of a three or four part tale. Please take a look and feel free to offer comments and share if you enjoy it. The more interest in it, the more likely I will feel the desire to work on that project. Here's the link The Unwilling Package, A Lorekeeper's Tale

I have had to push back the ordering of the paperback versions of Ascent of the Holy Blade due to financial reasons. Work at the factory has been reduced and heating bills have been insanely high this winter so concessions have had to been made on my part, but hopefully that will change in a month or two. Remember that the eBook from Wynwidyn Press is available from Amazon and, if you have read it please post a review. It would really help out. Thank you in advance. Again here is the link for my first (and only so far) book. Ascent of the Holy Blade eBook


That pretty much sums it up in a nutshell. Happy reading.
