Chronicles of the Apocalypse 2: In Progress!
Sunday, April 1, 2012 at 04:21PM No, this is not an April Fool's joke. I'm not very good at them anyway. :P
What this is, is an official announcement that work on the second book of Chronicles of the Apocalypse is now underway. It's been a long time coming, what with other side projects constantly fighting each other for my attention, but at last, Chronicles of the Apocalypse: The Demon Within has won the war!
Initial work on The Demon Within began almost side by side with Revenge, Everything is Nothing back in my sophomore year of high school. And just like REIN, TDW went through its fair share of growing pains. As the lore of COTA deepened and expanded, TDW swiftly began to require a significant overhaul as this is the novel where that lore is truly introduced. Characters were added and then removed, only to be added and removed again and again. Scenes were scrapped and restructured. Entire plot threads had to be untangled and re-woven. It's been a serious undertaking.
But that's mostly behind me. Now, the work of actually writing out the manuscript begins and my motivation is at an all time high thanks to the incredible work of Jennette Brown! For those of you who aren't familiar with her, Jennette Brown is a digital fantasy artist and about a month ago, I commissioned her to create the cover art for TDW and just yesterday, she finished it!
I can't show you the full thing just yet, but when I saw it, in blew my mind, dropped my jaw, and stole my breath all at the same time. For now, all you get to see is the little teaser below. ;)
Chronicles of the Apocalypse: The Demon Within
Good may be in his heart, but Evil is in his blood...
And now I must go. This novel isn't going to write itself. Take care everyone. :)
