The Long Crawl
Ok, so while it is a little late to be writing a blog about The Rise of Kings, published as it is and beyond my editorial powers, I can keep track of my progress as I wade through the second in The Flameweaver's Prophecy series: The Hearts of Nations.
My first draft of it was excruciatingly short for a novel, particularly one that was supposed to expand on The Rise of Kings, and the initial feedback I received from beta readers was to the same effect.
So now it begins; the relentless slog through the manuscript in an attempt to slow down and pad out what I had first hastily scribbled. As well as correcting more than several embarrassing spelling mistakes.
Once more into the etc. etc.
Wish me luck.

Good news, everyone!
Not really blog worthy but I just really wanted to share.
Due to recent sales of The Rise of Kings in the USA, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, I will now be referring to myself as an international author, no matter how wildly exaggerated or unnecessary that may be.
Thank you for your time.

A quick yet heartfelt thank you
It's been a while since I've been able to get on to Goodreads and have a look at my profile, but having done so I was taken aback by how many people had added The Rise of Kings and the reviews it has received from those that finished it.
So, as the title of this post might suggest, I just wanted to say thank you.
It means a great deal to me that people have not only read what I have created, but also enjoyed it, with a smattering of four and five star ratings.
You all have my gratitude, and I hope to produce the sequel, The Hearts of Nations, shortly, to the same reception.
Thank you once more.
