First blog post of 2014!
Lots to report.
First, and most importantly, I’m getting married. I proposed to my girlfriend at the start of
January, and she said yes. So my fiancée
and I are very, very happy and celebrated by staying over at the fantastic
Slieve Donard hotel that night. A good
start to 2014 I think you’ll all agree.
Even with the immense excitement of this new life event, I
have still been writing. ‘Tales of
Larrick City’ I hope to have ready for proof reading by the middle of February
at the latest, and out by the end of March.
This short story compendium will be free to download when it comes out
and I hope to use the stories in it to further expand on the world of Haldred
Chronicles. I hope you will all enjoy
once it’s released.
It’s turned into a good excuse for me to explore a number of
different writing styles and expand on little plot hints here and there found
in the first 2 books. That, and it will
also include a glossary of terms used in Haldred Chronicles; useful in
particular for those un-used to some of the Northern Irish style humour and
phases. Well it is my home country, the
mannerisms were bound to slip in!
I’ve also been making progress on the 3rd
official Haldred Chronicles novel. I’ve
written almost 30,000 words and I’m really happy with the way things are
panning out. The style will be closer to
‘Kalla’ than ‘Alyssa’ and will further expand on the relationships between the
various characters, as well as keeping up with everyone’s favourite characters.
On top of that, I still have a lot of ideas for future
novels. 14 if I’m being precise (the
number varies from day to day). I
definitely want to keep Haldred Chronicles going and if things pan out
properly, you’ll get not 1 but 2 books out in 2014! Just don’t expect the official 3rd
book until maybe the summer. Meantime,
you should all have Tales of Larrick City to keep you interested!
So lots to look forward to and I’ll keep you all
informed. Have a great 2014 everyone.
