Trials and Tribulations

Well, here I am. It has been one rocky road to get here. The first time I took a stab at the wonderful world of writing I was just a bright eyed young man with big dreams of breaking the bank with book sells. News flash, that didn't happen, not even close. The first book I wrote "A Gathering of Storms" wasn't a bad book but it wasn't exactly a good book either. It had potential as my friends have told me, but I just didn't know enough yet. I hadn't taken enough time to hone my skills and as such the problems it has are readily apparent.  This time, I'm coming into it with a clear head. Writing a book isn't easy, making money off of one is even harder, but I feel my chances are much better now.

Either way, I just published the first book in a serial. Fool's Journey, The War of the Tarot Series, Book One, Episode One. I'm sitting here watching the KDP page waiting for it to get out of the reviewing process and I figured now is as good a time as any to start vomiting stuff onto this blog.

Lets see... pertinent information. This is a serial with multiple seasons planned, think of it sort of like a TV show. I'll plan out a season anywhere from six to ten episodes long, and then I'll write them and release them. Each season will tell a part of what I hope will become a large and rich world with multiple characters introduced over time. When a season begins I'll release one episode per week until the season is concluded. Once all that is done I'll release a compilation of all the episodes kind of like a box set.

One might ask why do it in seasons instead of just one big long series.  Well, the simple answer is that publishing books costs a lot of money. Between cover design, paying an editor, and getting the book formatted I currently just can't afford to hammer stuff out.

So if you happened by this site by chance, give my books a shot, maybe you'll like them and then if you like theme enough, feel free to drop back by and hit the donate button on the right side of the screen to speed along the production of the next part. If you ended up here because you read the book I hope you liked it enough to want to chip in and keep them rolling.

Also, drop you email in the mailing list just under the donation button. I'll drop a news letter every time a new episode is released or a new season begins, and also probably sometime between production just to keep any fans I'm lucky enough to pick up informed to how the production is coming along.

Now, it's 5:15 in the morning, Netflix is cutting in and out, my eyes are sticking together, and I've got a chapter to write tomorrow, so for now. I'll bid anyone who notices a fond farewell.
