In the Footsteps of the Behemoth

'In the Footsteps of the Behemoth' has been released! It's not really a sequel to 'Endless Tides' but it is set in the same world, one thousand years later. Here's the blurb:

'In a world blighted by feuding clans and constant conflict, there is a name spoken in even further hushed tones than the most fearsome of warlords; the Behemoth. A creature that towers above all in sight, with matted fur covering its rocky form. It has waged war with mankind for a millennium and stunted the progression of the species, leading to one question - why? One night, whilst on his way to a mysterious rendezvous, a shadus named Lament Strife is ambushed by famed warrior Vaiske Parlet who appears to suffer a mortal wound mere seconds before Lament passes out. When Lament awakes, Vaiske is nowhere to be found and the shadus is left with a peculiar illness afflicting him. In the days that follow, he resolves to find Vaiske Parlet and discover the reason for this strangest of occurrences. Meanwhile, Arvan Deit, a boy on the verge of manhood, sets out on his first adventure - to find his missing teacher, Master Lawliet Snow. Bored of his uneventful life as an orphan in a small town, Arvan vows to embark on a great quest and make his master proud. These characters are forced together by necessity but torn apart from one another by differing, and often conflicting, interests. Only one thing is certain; their journey leads in one direction - in the footsteps of the Behemoth.'



Enjoy!

A Quick Update

So, I haven't been blogging much recently because I've been doing proper writing (sound the horns, Jameson! I want the mountains to know!), however I have, just for a moment, misplaced my quill (Jameson! Tell the search party to keep looking!) so I'll give you a quick update.

The first copies of 'In the Footsteps of the Behemoth' have been printed, I found out today, and I should have my copies in the next few weeks! The cover, by the amazingly talented Diego Gonzalez, is fantastic and I couldn't be happier with it. I don't have a release date yet, but soon, hopefully.

I'm making steady progress with 'Lay Me Restless'. It's just a matter of finding time to write it at the moment; between having a full time job and making sure Jameson is doing his (no, Jameson, serve from the left you oaf!) I don't have as much writing time as I would like. But progress is progress and it's being made.

I'm reading the first part of Dead Stars by the wonderful Ben Galley at the moment. I was lucky enough to be a beta reader but have held off on doing a review until I read the definitive version because you can't get all the magic with a PDF file that you do with a physical book.

Anyway, Jameson has found my quill (finally) unfortunately he's lost my ink pot now (DAMMIT, JAMESON!) and books don't write themselves, so I must away.

See you on the other side,
Sam
