The new fantasy book is 35% done

The new fantasy book is 35% done

When it rains, it pours, or something. If you recall, less than a month back, I told you about my new fantasy work. Well, new old, so to speak. I’m writing from scratch a book that I’ve already written, more than 20 years back. Now, the idea is jolly solid, only the original volume is a ponderous 630,000-word colossus that simply isn’t fun enough. Fixing it turned out to be an impossible task. So I set about writing a brand new book, reusing the core story concepts. This has been going brilliantly. I’m already 35% done, some 60K works so far.

Third time’s a charm – the new old fantasy book

Between 1997 and 2001, throughout my military service, I wrote my first proper fantasy book. It was a hefty effort, 630,000 words in total. The book had everything: magic, monsters, lore, epicness, colorful protagonists. Only I never published it. Simply put, I tried sending it to various agents and publication houses, and they all turned it down. Rightfully so, because it wasn’t very good. In fact, it was pretty bad.

Dear readers, it is with great relish that I’m writing today’s post. There’s a new book out there, and ’tis fantastic! I have published the third and the last volume in my gunpowder-and-humor-drenched trilogy, Woes & Hose. To wit, The Daring Adventures of Amorous Prince Dietrich brings to conclusion the merry and wicked escapades of our beloved and deeply misunderstood anti-hero, the dashing, the glamorous and the amorous Prince Dietrich. As it happens, this book is also my twentieth publication, in the span of just ten short years.
