Over the past few weeks my latest work in progress has been evolving gradually as I write it, and I have been finalizing sales venues for the rest of the year. The WIP, now titled, Fire & Ice, A Dragon Islands Legend has been constantly evolving since I began work on it late last year. At first, I thought it might be a series of novels covering the history of the Dragon Islands, the world I created for the third book in the Deliverers Series, The Golden Dragon of Ang.
Then, I decided that it would be a series of five short stories (one for each of the Dragon Islands) combined into one volume. However, it seemed that they could be longer than your average short stories, so I thought that perhaps I'd release them as a series of five novellas. Right now, I'm going with that, but I could still see it being released as one volume of longer short stories. Anyway, we'll see how it all shakes out.
Right now, the current work stands at 11,500 words over 55 pages. I was thinking that it would wind up being 20,000 words, but it seems to be wrapping up rather quickly, so it could be less. We shall see.
I have also had a couple of nice shows this month. One was the Danbury Street Festival, put on by my friends at CityCenter Danbury. Here are a couple pictures from that event
The following week, I was privileged to take part in an author event that was part of the Milford Fair on the Half Shell. I was one of almost 40 Connecticut authors with Connecticut Book Festivals selling their books. It was a great event. I had the pleasure of sitting next to Isabella Vazquez, a college student attending her first show to promote her wonderful collection of short stories and poems. I love these events because it's a great way to connect with fellow authors and swap marketing, publishing, and other insights (as well as more than a few war stories!).
