Hey, all, I have created a blog! Still don't have any idea what I am doing, so it will be taking shape slowly. Check it out, if you get the chance: swordsunderdistantsuns.com/I have big plans for it! Bret

Greywater Chronicles #1 is awesome! More please. And where can we find the tales of the swordsman Kabor?

Hey, Darkpumpkin,
Good to hear from you!
Thanks for the compliment. Issue #2 is almost finished (I am using the ComicLife3 free trial version - I like it, easy to us, so will probably spend the $30 for the real version). I will have it up on the blog in the next few days.
I have written stories about Kabor for almost 20 years. Most have been bad, but the last two years I have improved my writing a bit (I think). I have four stories kinda polished right now. One is just submitted to Heroic Fantasy Quarterly, and another is just submitted to Swords & Sorcery Magazine. Both of these are web-published magazines - goolge them and check them out if you haven't already. Cool magazines - S&S comes out every month with two stories, HFQ every 3 months with 3 stories and 3 poems. I should hear back from them in the next 60 days.
Of the other two, I am considering putting them on my blog, but there is a lot of mixed thought on this, according to published authors. Primarily, when you do so, the story is considered published, so you can never sell it for 1st publication rights again. Also, unless you have a target audience, it might be kinda wasted. I'll probably put one, at least, on the site. One is shorter and more of a vignette, but still has some substance, so I am considering that one. The last story is I think my best, and I will try to find another magazine to submit that one to.
If you're interested, DP, let me know in a PM and I'll send you one via email.
Thanks for your interest, it is much appreciated!
Bret

Hey all,
I am publishing a novel on my blog, set on the Stormspeake Peninsula. I am publishing a chapter each week, and the first two are up on the blog now. The action is centered in Redpoint so far, and a few faces that may be familiar will make an appearance.
Give it a spin as it develops, if you are so inclined!
The blog link is in my signature. I hope you enjoy it!

So will there be any more Greywater Chronicles? I enjoyed it, but I think 10-12 pages per episode is lengthy enough (in reference to a question you raised on the blog).
I very much like the idea of a serialized novel set on the Stormspeake Peninsula!

Hey, Darkpumpkin,
Absolutely, there will be more Greywater Chronicles. I had some technical problems in upgrading from the trial version of Comic Life to the bought-and-paid-for, but these are my fault and I am getting these squared away. Hopefully this week I'll get the third issue finished and up. According to my blog stats (not that I am obsessed or anything!) those are the most viewed pages on the blog. I aims to please! Thanks for the feedback on length.
Hope you will enjoy the Followers of the Forbidden Circle! Chapter 3 will be up Friday/Saturday.
Thanks!
Bret

Hey, Narmer,
Thanks so much! Obviously I have a lot of irons in the fire on the blog, but I am pretty focused on Greywater right now. Another issue in the next few days that will hopefully see the combined parties of Norvan and Ronaime break through to the third level - still fighting that battle right now - and then I want to get back to the Megadungeon Faction Alphabet. But I also want to play the group of bandit refugees from Shades' Hollow hitting Greywater for a quick buck. They'll be hitting "Sublevel 1A" where the elves passed through (off-screen) to get to the great river cavern in Issue 7.
Anyway, got some time on my hands right now. Thanks again for your kind words!
Bret
