The time of publication is fast approaching. After months on months of drafting, rewrites
and proofing the final product is pretty much ready.
Haldred Chronicles: Kalla will be released on schedule on
the 31st August 2013.
As a final precaution I am having the “final” draft looked
over by a fresh proof reader, as well as two other people who hadn’t read the
first book; just to check coherency and if the book sits well as a stand alone
story. I have written it with the idea that
you don’t need to have read the first book, but if you have you’ll get that little
bit extra out of it. I hope, depending
on what comments come back to me, that I have succeeded.
A launch party is also confirmed, but it has become a more
low-key affair than originally intended.
It’s a social meet up for a load of friends and a few guests to come and
enjoy some banter, an interview with myself and a reading of part of the
book. It will be good fun but won’t be over
the top.
The next update to this blog will be literally the ‘it’s
out!’ post with a link to purchase the book.
After book 2, what are my plans?
Well, I hope to continue work on the short story compendium
“Tales of Larrick City.” This, once
complete, will be a freely downloadable book of short stories, as well as a
glossary for the Haldred Chronicles universe.
Release date is still to be confirmed; I need to finish it first! I hope people will enjoy as it fills out the
story and background of the world. That
and it’s a good excuse to keep writing before starting work on book 3.
Speaking of book 3, the plan is to start it off in November
2013. I will write it as part of the
November writing completion run as the National Novel Writing Month at www.nanowrimo.org. Hopefully I will finish a complete first
draft by the end of that month.
So that’s the plans anyways.
Next blog update will be the release of the book. I hope you all enjoy!
Take care.
