Read a Preview of Keeper of the Mists!

I realize my progress has been slow on KotM. Events in my immediate family have significantly impacted my available writing time, and my emotional ability to immerse myself into a fantasy world to the depth required for good writing. I am, however, very excited about this book, and I don't want to leave you dedicated readers hanging (thank you for the e-mails- even the semi-threatening ones) so I'll be posting preview chapters.

A few warnings:
1- Spoilers abound.
2- This is not a polished draft. You'll find plenty of errors in this preview.
3- I reserve the right to change my mind about anything you read here.

Sci-Fi and Fantasy Day

Today is Sci-Fi and Fantasy Day. I'm a little slow on the uptake here, but I thought I'd take a moment to reflect on a few of my all-time favorites:

1- The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan
This series inspired me to write epic fantasy. I love the detailed attention to cultures and traditions and the complex interweaving of plot lines.

2- Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
This is one of those rare books I've actually re-read a couple of times, and enjoyed it every time.

3- A Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin
Martin's world is so masterfully crafted, you sometimes believe you are reading historical fiction.

4- The Belgariad and The Mallorean series by David Eddings
I skipped classis and hid in the college library, reading, because I had to know how the last book ended.

5- Crystal Rain by Tobias Buckell
A truly original and entertaining Sci-fi novel.

Progress Bar

I added a progress bar to track Keeper of the Mists. I estimate that about 41% of it is completely ready to go. That's not to say more of it has not been written- just that not all of what is written is publishable. I'll be posting a new preview chapter soon!
