Sederan Tales

So I totally geeked out over my characters a few days ago and drew up a list of what bands each of them would listen to if they were alive today. I don’t know if this is something all writers do, but I kind of doubt it. Some interesting finds:

• Rex is a total hipster: Deathcab for Cutie and The Smiths made her list.
• Arlia likes the Beatles and Arcade Fire.
• Bertram is our classic rock guy.
• Petra, on the other hand, is old school: Johnny Cash and Emmy Lou Harris.
• Lenus is a big fan of the Dropkick Murphys.

In writing news, I just finished another story of five chapters. Unfortunately, it’s not the one that’s chronologically next, so I won’t be posting it until I’ve posted one or two others. I’m very happy with the way it turned out, though, and look forward to putting it up here.

I’m going to try to work on the (chronologically) next story so I can get that up here. If you don’t know, all of the major characters from previous stories are coming back, and their stories are going to be intertwining. This is something I started doing toward the end of the last set of stories, but I get to do it right from the start with this set, now that introductions are over.

Thanks for reading!

The first eBook is finished and is available for FREE download on the eBooks page*! I went through all of the chapters thus far and made some minor edits to them. Read it, and please give me your feedback on the new Contact page!

* The eBook is now available in Kindle and Nook formats. (The Nook format will work on most other eReaders as well.)

For those who are wondering if I have a plan for this, the answer is yes, I do. I’m going to be releasing eBooks of the stories as I complete them. I’m almost done with what will be book one. (The next story will be the last one in that book.) I’ve figured out how to do a Kindle eBook, and I don’t think it’s that hard to do one for the Nook, so I’ll try to have that figured out by the time I’m ready to ePublish.

The eBooks will be free on this site. Eventually, if the response is good, they will go up for sale on Amazon and I’ll take them down from here, but that day is still quite a ways out.

I’m planning three or four eBooks’ worth of content, so I’m only somewhere between a third and a quarter of the way done. Things are about to get a lot more interesting. The characters and stories so far have been happy little microcosms. If you read between the lines, things are starting to come together for some of the characters and stories, and that’s going to be much more prevalent in the future. The story I’m writing now will be the last introductory story before paths start crossing, and that’s when the real plot will pick up. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope you guys are too!

The site has been launched, and I will work on getting the kinks worked out over the next few days. Posting will commence as soon as I complete the first saga.
