January 12, 2013 Igor Ljubuncic

Hullo, friends. The End: Visions of Apocalypse is an anthology presented by SFFWorld.com members, and it includes twelve stories that detail various depictions of the end of the world. The anthology features the work of Michael J. Sullivan, Hugh Howey, Tristis Ward, and nine other writers, myself among the bunch, all with their own apocalyptic visions. From grim destruction to tragic suffering, and even humor, no version of the Earth is safe. Well, the world did not end when it supposed to, and now, the book is also available on Amazon.

I finished Book Three!

December 1, 2012 Igor Ljubuncic

Holy barnacle! I have finished the third book in the series. It will be a while before you see in the stores, but the entire text is there. Exactly 105 days after starting the second book, I have completed the third one, with 240,000 words written, averaging more than 2,000 words a day, although most of the writing was done on weekends. Moreover, I have successfully beaten my usual autumn-winter writers’ block, as there’s none, and I have never been more pumped about writing.

Yup, I just got interviewed again! Anyhow, a nice fellow by the name of James, A.K.A. Cirias, who runs the fantasy slash speculative fiction blog fantasybastion.com, agreed to interview me, with the questions focusing on my book writing. If you’re interested, I recommend you hop by the yonder site and take a look at another facet of my lunacy. For those of you with the attention span of a newt, I kindly added this excerpt.

How to make your writing consistent

October 19, 2012 Igor Ljubuncic

As someone suffering from a mild case of OCD, order and consistency play an important role in my writing. Things have to be meticulous, in every shape or form. However, when you are trying to write a book, sprawling over four hundred pages with some 50 chapters and perhaps 150K words, even the most obsessed author will begin to lose track.

Short stories for your perusal

September 30, 2012 Igor Ljubuncic

If you like my writing, or perhaps if you do not like my writing but would like to see more examples that might change your mind, then you might want to wander over to Dedoimedo.com and grab a dozen short stories posted in the special Here be dragons subsection of the Life category. You will find a decent handful of prose there, and you just might like some of them.

The world as we know it

September 14, 2012 Igor Ljubuncic

Today, I want to talk you about the fictional world setting shown in The Betrayed, better known as the Realms. For those of you who may have read the book, the little map at the beginning of it probably raises more questions than answers them. So let us talk a little on what the map gives us, and perhaps also briefly touch on the topic of how maps ought to look in a fantasy book. P.S. Some spoilers may occur without prior notice, so watch it if you intend to read The Betrayed one day.
