I'm pleased to announce that I've just released a new, re-titled third edition of my Introduction to the Sanctum of the Archmage Saga, Prologue to Chaos. It features a new title, a new (and I think, great-looking) cover, and a full stylistic re-edit. There's more on my blog, including some information on the progress of the first full-length novel -- for which I'll be using the introduction's previous name -- Dawn of Chaos. Prologue to Chaos Available at The Sanctum BlogAndarian

It's been a while since I've posted here, so I thought I should probably give a brief update for those interested on the status of my work on Sanctum of the Archmage. The good news is that I'm very close to finishing Dawn of Chaos, the first full-length novel in the series. I'm currently writing the last scene of Chapter 24. After that I only need to finish Chapter 25, and the manuscript will be complete. It's looking like it'll end up around 138,000 words, or just shy of 400 "paperback equivalent pages." After that will come editing, preparing the cover and illustrations, layout, etc., but I still hope to be able to get the novel out on Kindle by sometime this summer. In parallel or shortly after that I'm planning to finally finish and release the v4.2 updates to both Chapter 1 and 2 of the Sanctum modules for NWN.

That cover looks gorgeous! One day, one day I will have enough spare time to play through the mods and read the novels too.

That cover looks gorgeous! One day, one day I will have enough spare time to play through the mods and read the novels too. Thanks, Shades! And that's just the draft version. My illustrator will be colorizing it, and we'll be re-working the style of the titling. I'll be working on the books for years to come, so there should be plenty of reading material when you get around to it. As for the mods: I'm also planning to (finally) release the remake of the second chapter under the new name, "The Quest." It's more than half-done, but I had to put finishing it aside for two years to reboot my career and to work on the first novel. I'm hoping to get it out in the late summer or fall. The book is coming along well. I'm about a third of the way through the full edit now. It's been a bigger job than I expected, especially for the early chapters. The later ones are turning out to be easier, which I hope means that my writing's been getting better with practice...
