Quick update and heartfelt blessings

Just a quick update this week. Don’t worry; I will continue with the last installment of my camping saga shortly.

Destiny of the Daystar, book four of my Absolution of the Morning Star series, is in its sixth chapter and is currently at 14,238 words. Initially, it was moving a little slowly, but we are progressing at a good clip now, and I am consistently reaching my thousand words a day. I feel a bit of a rush. It took a good portion of a year to write Koen, the series’ stand-alone prequel, and I’m feeling pressure from those who want to know what will happen to Erik after the events of Noonday in the North. I assure you it is coming, and it will be great. Noonday in the North marked a turning point for Erik and his allies, and soon, things will get very interesting.

Trying to sell Koen is on hold until after the holidays. I think it will have a better chance of garnering some attention after the distractions of the festive season- I also don’t want it to ruin my mood getting all those rejections. The query letter template is written, and I’ve finished my synopsis. On January 1, it goes out to my first batch of researched agents. According to my wife, my Chinese horoscope says this will be my lucky year. I am not superstitious, but I’ll take what I can.

Everyone stay safe as we move into the holidays. I hope they are filled with miracles and magic! If you’re looking for a gift for that special someone who likes dark epic fantasy, check out the Absolution of the Morning Star series! A bobble lasts a moment- a good story lasts a lifetime.

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. View more posts
