The Work-In-Progress blog tour

Author Carole Gill has nominated me for the WIP blog tour.  You can follow the dark path to her books here:

Now I will be the first to admit that I’m not the greatest blogger as my barren blog can attest. If you don’t  know who I am (and you probably don’t) I’m the author of the science fiction series The Cartographer as well as the fantasy/adventure the Guardian Chronicles and thriller Vendetta. I am currently working on is the third book in the Cartographer series (tentatively titled “Timeless”) Several authors wrote what their WIP’s are about but I’m ridiculously stubborn and I don’t like to conform to standards so I’m going to summarize the story using graphical stimulants.


So to sum up what has happened, there is this teenage kid from Earth



And he was inadvertently abducted by an officer of an intergalactic alien organization 


The kid unlocks an ancient universal map  which accidentally triggers events which renew an ancient war


Eventually this leads to betrayal as one of the Council members joins the enemy. Despite his treacherous ways he is a pretty snappy dresser 


This leads to me killing off a bunch of people, George RR Martin style because, to be honest, I’m crazy like that. So the third book picks up where Reborn leaves off. Without revealing spoilers, Nathan (not Percy Jackson) comes into contact with ancient beings known as the Timeless, and after being trained by them to stop being scared like a little bitch all the time embarks on a quest to stop Calypso and his new found allies from destroying the very fabric of the universe.  Book 3 will contain introductions to more of the Timeless, a potential ally in the Order of the Sun from the planet Gliese, more backstory and even more enemies as the fractured Consortium becomes whole again but not in a good way.


In book three there will be a lot of this 


 


And not so much of this [image error]


Here is a summary of the main players of book 3

Nathan Chambers – former scared bitch, now an intergalactic badass (maybe)


Embeth – Leader of the Insurgents and wannabe Thor


Lianne-Captain of the former Defense Fleet and crazy cat lady


Kedge Mal’Dineen- Former inhabitant of Mars and grumpy old man


Satou- Science officer who abducted Nathan in a fit of insanity


Calypso- Mortician of the Stars


Vayne- One of the Timeless and universal treasure hoarder. Oh and he likes himself.


Vigil- Captain Grumpsalot also a member of the Timeless


Vanth- A mysterious Timeless member who lives on the worst rendition of Tatooine ever. Oh yeah he trains Nathan to stop being such a bitch.


Grillick- A hairier version of Tyrion Lannister. Oh and he invents stuff too. Some of it even works. Also a member of the Timeless


Sergeant Cantrell- Grillick’s hired gun. His is a combination of Han Solo and Mike from Breaking Bad


Now unfortunately I don’t have a time table on book 3 but I’m working to try to release first quarter of 2015. Don’t rush miracles or you get rotten miracles.


 


And since I have no friends I decided to nominate the entire Creativia team of authors to carry on this tradition of insanity! See, I don’t conform to rules and regulations!

But watch out for Miika Hannila, he’s secretly the Walking Dude. Stephen King told me this himself.
