Title Update!

I have decided that the official title of my new book will be Wilting Blood: Red Revival.

The title works well with a number of events, themes, and characters within the story and as of right now I am anticipating at least to other titles within the Wilting Blood series.

I will make sure to post any other major updates on here as they come. Stay Tuned!

Excerpts from Wilting Blood: Red Revival by theme

Exerpt 1: Theme Never

Isaac shot to his feet, he felt a disgusting churning fear in his gut, but he couldn’t let her keep letting her do this. “D-don’t compare me to Violet.”
    “You are right Isaac you don’t deserve to be compared to Violet!”
    “I don’t!” He yelled back,” Violet was the worst in the class! She could barely use her Magic and had a constitution almost as bad as Velonia’s. Even if I never ran into Mobiel the odds of me still being picked over her were astronomically high, and I am saying this fully aware that I wasn’t and Am still not good enough to have the Apprenticeship. She was a nice girl but she was the worst in our class by a long shot!”

Expert 2: Theme Blood

The Bluts pulled their arms back, adjusting their stances. They whipped the iron balls with a whirling sound. Each one plowing through the waiting torsos of the tied up mortals with an explosion of crimson mist, blood, guts, and bone filled the air as the white snow began to turn red. The Commoners charged with the inhuman speed at the eviscerated Mortals, those of whom without immediately fatal injuries were now awake and screaming. The Commoner Bluts greedily shoved their faces into the wounds and began to drink.

Exerpt 3: theme Magic

Hans held his hand out and a blue aura began to drip from his palm, before solidifying into a reflective metal ball.
      “ I hope you all have fond memories of my golem Rodro.” Hans laughed before dropping the ball onto the ground.
     Blue lines carved themselves across the silver surface of the ball as smaller identical spheres began to emerge from within the Artifact. Once it had accumulated a small puddle of balls the artifact spread the blue light between all of them, before pulling itself into a humanoid form that stood up perfectly straight next to its master. It looked like a doll that someone would use to practice sketching.

Exerpt 4: Theme Alone

He grabbed his dark grey gambeson off of a shelf and held his breath as he snuck out of the room. Entering the cold stone hallway Isaac exhaled and slipped into his training garb. He hated talking to these people, more than anything else in the world. Isaac was fairly sure he hadn’t made a single actual friend during the entirety of his two years of training, only a few loose acquaintances, and if any of them considered him a friend he’d be more surprised than anyone.

More to come!

Darkness in next book and title change

After looking through my plans for my next book, it has become overwhelmingly apparent to me that this book is going to be the darkest story of have written to date. It will make Urban Monarchs look downright cheery in terms of content. I am incredibly excited to continue with this project and look forward to bringing more updates as to the contents of the book to you all.

In other news the term “Blood Hunter” is associated with many popular things in fiction so I will need to change the books title to help separate it from those other things. Blood hunters will remain a working title until a new one is selected.

Planned Release Of Urban Monarchs and Following Projects

My planned release date for Urban Monarchs is currently mid December by the latest. Although this may, and will hopefully, change to an earlier date this is my current projection. Starting in October I will be starting the first draft of my Next Novel Blood Hunters, which follows a group of vampire hunters. The story is set prior in the time line of the world than Urban Monarchs and deals much more with the human species than the Varse.

Why Do I Write?

Every writer has a reason to out pen to paper, or finger to keyboard. For me there are a few of those reasons. The largest one by far is the overwhelming desire to share what I have created with the rest of the world. Mekebe and its many residents have been a massive part of my life for years, and since I was young I have dreamed about letting others see the true scope of these stories.

If I had to pick a single moment from my life that really solidified my desire to become an author it would have to be a moment from my junior year of college, when I had started writing my first novel Urban Monarchs, I was discussing my current manuscript as well as my favorite books with a close friend of mine. The conversation became an hour long rant by my friend about his several favorite book series. I can vividly remember the love and awe in his eyes and voice as he discussed these series and the impact that the had on him. He remembered the characters as if he knew them and the plot lines like he was there. While I was listening to him passionately rant about these books I had a realization that he was projecting exactly the kind of emotions that I would love nothing more than to give other people when they read my writing.
