Been A While

It's hard to believe I let this lapse for almost two months.  Part of that reason has been that I've had lots of other things on my mind. Between work, writing, Shinkendo and trying to fit in some semblance of a social life I just didn't have much time to post on here.

Edits are progressing on my manuscript for The Demon Hunter.  I am already mapping out my next book as well as working on another short story.  Having published "The Sword and the Stone" at the beginning of May, and the completion of the Demon Hunter manuscript, this series has really taken hold for me.  I've got so much i want to do with it, and several wonderful ideas to run with as well.  Most of all, I'm thrilled with how much this idea has really grown over the years.

I hear lots of people say that they got their ideas from a dream, but for me, my idea started out with a simple statement.  That statement planted a seed and over time it grew into an idea.  I fleshed it out with the plan of a couple books and then one day a couple years after the idea first blossomed it exploded into a garden of ideas.  What started out as a couple of book ideas turned into a series far bigger than I ever anticipated. Of course with all the plot ideas meant I needed villain's and that meant researching lore to figure out who/what my villain for each story idea would be.  I have figured out some of them, but others still remain to be chosen.  For now though, the important ones have been chosen and are seeing their share of action as I write about them in my current stories.

More on them later though....
