Well, now that Realm is available on line, my work again is beginning. As I stated before, the marketing aspect of the book now begins, of which I’m a novice. I’ve got some business cards and bookmarks made up to hand out to local bookstores, family, and friends. A few copies have sold at least, a few friends have already told me they have ordered it, this is good. I’ve been contacting local bookstores, doing what is required to get the book in local stores on the shelf and set up some book signings. Though my work schedule has me traveling in the near future, so this may not be feasible at this time.

As I am a gamer and the book was based of gaming characters, I believe fantasy role-players will enjoy it, or so I hope. Planning on checking out my local gaming stores, getting feedback on their opinions.

Most importantly, however, is that I’ve started work on Part II, for those that have read the book, I’m letting you know that the sequel is in the works. The cast will be back, most that is, and life has changed for them all in the most part. The elfin prophecy of the new dawn, to our characters, has begun. They see drastic changes coming in the future, and only they can ensure that it turns out as it should. Alliance that stood strong in Realm are now tested, some shattered, as the scent of another ware amongst the races is looming in the air.

The outline for this Part is in the works, had to change it around a bit after some events that occurred in Realm were not in my original design. Those darn characters came to life for me and created a few unexpected plot twists that carry on into the second book. Oh well, after all it’s their story. In the future, I intend to write a blog on outlining, what I use, how I use it, etc.

Any, back to book two. I think the title will be Wings of Shadow, it’s an idea, for those of you who know the story, what do you think?

Currently, I’ve drafted up to chapter 5 thus far, and a lot has already happened, people’s viewpoint on life have changed, one is no longer with us, and a few new characters—I love one of them, she’s so dark, sneaky, and devious, obviously she’s an assassin hired by one of the bad guys from Realm. So, I’ll keep you all up to date, with revealing too much—don’t wanna’ give the entire story away.

Until next time,

Mike Robinson.
