Progress on the SHADER series

Posted on December 1, 2010 by deaconshader

The cover for “Gods in the Dreaming” is now ready.

I’m close to finishing the second draft of the manuscript and plan to start editing early in the New Year.

The book looks set to be massive, so much so that I’ve decided to split it into two. The final fifth of “Gods” will now form the basis for Book 2, which will be called “The Technocrat of Aethir”. Book 3 is “The Archon’s Assassin”, which is half written, and book 4 is “A Dark Perdurance.”

Dramatically, this split works really well.

The cover for The Chronicles of the Nameless Dwarf: The Ant-Man of Malfen should be ready in two weeks. There’s a final round of editing to be completed and then the Kindle version will be released.
