Update on Rise of Shadows

January 18th, 2012

The first major editing pass of Rise of Shadows is finally complete! We are starting the second pass now. I expect it will go much faster than the first pass. I have also received the rough pencil sketch for the cover and have approved it. Our cover artist is now working on the full color version of the cover. We are still shooting for a February release, but we are running a little behind where I would like to be. I do not plan to rush it out, so it may slip into March. Read the rest of this entry »

Great News!

December 9th, 2011

I mentioned this on twitter (Follow @LostTales so you are not left out) recently, but the first draft of The Rise of Shadows is complete at just over one hundred thousand words.

I have already done about as much editing as I can do, so it will be soon handed off to Kristi for real editing while I start on Volume IV. The plan is still for five books in this story arch, and then most likely branch off with new stories and new characters in the same universe. Read the rest of this entry »

In The Academy some additional details of my magic system were revealed. One of those details is that magic is natural, and thereby has to follow the laws of nature. One example that you learn in The Academy is that magi accomplish flying by pushing energy behind them the same as any mundane means of flight. Part of the rules of nature that govern the use of magic is this concept of “lines of power.” That is each magus is limited in what they can do by whatever kind of magic they were born with. For example, Flame is a pyromancer and illusionist. This means that no matter how hard she studies she can never learn to cast a lightning bolt[1]. Her power is restricted to that of fire and illusions. Read the rest of this entry »
