I recently posted a teaser about a new side project that I began recently. It is time for more details.
I have been invited to submit a short story to an anthology co-created by members of my writing group. There should be six stories each at 10,000+ words in length. So, not really short stories, more like long stories/novellas. The genre for the anthology is fantasy (including urban, paranormal, historical, epic, etc). I will post more information about the title and contents as they become finalized.
We are all working furiously on this new project which we will publish as an e-book via Kindle, Nook, and other avenues sometime this fall. You can track my own draft progress on the sidebar under the Project Q: First Draft progress bar. Q stands for Quindecim, the name of our writer’s group. For those of your not conversant in Latin, Quindecim means “Fifteen”. Again, more details to follow as the plan unfolds and deadlines are hit.
I am very excited about this project as it will allow me an introduction to both project collaboration and self-publishing online. My story is a legend set in the world of my epic fantasy series and is complementary to the two novels I am in the process of writing, The Lost Tower and The Codex of Shrines.
Check back soon for more updates. Our first deadline in July 31 and I will have a post about the story writing process around that time.
