The Monuments of Stone arise!

It’s official. Fans of the Island of Stone rejoice! I started writing the Desert of Stone, Book 2 of the Monuments of Stone series last night! I only put down several pages, but just beginning a new book opens the door to the muse. The juices are flowing, and I’ll be well on my way on this new journey soon. It’s exciting and scary at once. From bitter experience, the road ahead is long and full of strife, but the rewards will hopefully be great. It’s time to set a writing schedule and write. At 2,000 words a day, it should only take about two months to finish. Let’s keep the fingers crossed!

I spent the morning putting together a book trailer for The Slaying of the Bull (book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels Series). Tomorrow, I will make one for the Island of Stone. I’m learning a great deal about media production, and although I’m far from an expert, my efforts in the publishing world are not fruitless. It’s quite fun, and the product isn’t too bad for my first try. Check it out on my Youtube channel, here! I may not become a successful author, but at least I’m improving myself on this journey.

A few days ago I posted some images, here, for those that need a bit of visual aid while reading The Slaying of the Bull. Many of the events, locations, and people are based on real history and I want to be sure I convey that. I will post more as I think of them.

But now, it’s time to wash some windows and get some house projects done. If I have the time, I will post some pictures of my backyard garden efforts. After losing a 100-year-old maple last fall, the yard was pretty devastated, and it is only now coming back to life. As they say, idleness is the root of all evil!

Cheers!

Scott Austin Tirrell writes dark fantasy because apparently the real world doesn't contain enough dead people, ruined faiths, and gods with questionable motives. Most of his stories take place in Lucardia, a world with a long memory and a rather serious problem with its dead. Its people have been taught many comforting things about history, religion, power, and what happens when the reaper’s sickle swings. Unfortunately, much of it is wrong. Scott is less interested in heroes than in complicated people who stumble into mysteries they probably should have left alone—and then have to live with what they find. When he isn’t writing, Scott wanders old cemeteries in search of character names and thinks about fictional people as though they have personally inconvenienced him. He lives near Boston with his wife and maintains a healthy distrust of ravens.
