Another new idea…

Yes, I’ve had yet another new idea.

But fortunately (for me) it is not a vast sweeping series of novels to follow on after the development of the “Novel Web”. Instead, the working title is “Episodic Andivar Stories” and will consist of shorter story lines, told in smaller episodes.

I’m still working on which characters from the Web will get this treatment, but I’ve currently jotted down ideas for two sequel episodic series and one prequel series.

These series will consist of “seasons” with their own plot lines, but then be divided into a number of “episodes” which will contain relatively bite sized bits with smaller parts of the whole. Ideally, each episode will have its own micro-plot, so a little more fleshed out than a chapter, which will contribute to the season plot.

I’ll do a post later on the characters I’ve planned out for the Web, but today I want to ask: how should I go about posting these.

One idea is to use the Kindle Vella program, to increase exposure and hopefully drive traffic to my novels.

The other thought (and the current prevailing idea, at least for the prequel series) is to just make a page here and post them.

Let me know what you think.

Loyalty Betrayed Draft 2 Complete

At just shy of 91,000 words, the second draft of Loyalty Betrayed is complete.

There are still some story lines I need to beef up in editing, but I’m working on my next project while I let it rest for a little while. Ideally, I’d love to be able to get it edited and cleaned up in time for PitchWars at the end of September, but we’ll see how it goes. The prologue and first chapter have already been heavily edited, so I have a head-start on that.

My next project, the “Web” of novels planned to take place 8 years after Loyalty Betrayed, is in the high level outline process right now. Twenty-five Novels spread across 6 Independent but Interconnected threads. I’ll make a post on that soon.

If anyone would like to Beta Read Loyalty Betrayed, feel free to drop me a line!
