Summer With Updates



Wow, just because we're summer now does not mean I shall be any less busy!



Here is what I'm up to for the next little while....

This weekend: June 29 - July. It's Canada Day!! People, relaxation, food and drink...will be awesome.

First weekend of July : helping my sister's boyfriend with his patio

A bit after that: Bluesfest!

July 11: My Birthday! (stuff I want in the next little while, should you feel generous hehe: http://www.amazon.ca/registry/wishlist/334OHARFDHZKQ/ref=cm_wl_search_1 ..I would say...Pillars of the Earth and / or The Winter King as what I'd like most from there at the moment)

Weekend of the 13th: Flying to Nova Scotia (that's Latin for New Scotland) From the Friday till the 18th. 

Last Weekend of July : my 'staycation'. 

So July will be very busy and awesome. 

For my book, I have come up with a name for the series, being "THE KALVEL CHRONICLES". Kalvel is the name of the world (pronounced kal-velle). As you know, the first book is called A Climb of Chaos. I'm also coming up with titles for the other four. After my editing project, to get back into my 'groove', I'm polishing up and changing the first two complete chapters I'd written...fleshing them out, etc. The overall story or what is going will not change, but the structure, order, etc might chapter by chapter. 

Also, I *need* to work on the map. If this was a video game, the world map would mostly be clouds right now. I need to get a general idea of what is where, who rules what, what the landscapes are like etc...I need to do a bi more worldbuilding before I send my characters and adventures through it. A good chunk may happen as I write, but it helps to know 'ok, X is here, and Y is going that way which is a)' I DO have the shape of Kalvel, now to just zoom in a bit more and more if this was Google Earth.

So, yeah...that's it!

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

Image
So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
