How do the new races being introduced fit into the Series?

6/9/2014

0 Comments

 
This was an excellent question brought up from the post I had about Minotaurs being in Book Two’s story line and how will that fit with the current story arc. There are actually going to be a number of races introduced into the story in Book Two. This is because of the story will be focused on Irlendria.

At the end of the First Tuonellian War, the Klavikians were destroyed except for a half-breed child named Startüm Ironwolf who was brought to Earth by his Grandsire Shadowfang. Although the Klavikian civilization has been destroyed, they did not fight the war alone. At the outset of the Great War, the Klavikians brought together the many races of Irlendria forming The Alliance of Aurenko to defend the world.

Book Two will be introducing the world of Irlendria, while following the action on Earth as it continues unfold. Just because Startüm has left Earth doesn’t mean the Tuonellians are finished with Humanity.

Interviewed by Tristan Mann 

6/4/2014

Today I had the pleasure of being interviewed by a DODEA Wiesbaden High School student name Tristan Mann.

He picked up one of my first copies of Flight and has really enjoyed the storyline. Another fellow gamer, we had a great time talking about some of our favorite video games and Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies in-between questions. As soon as he posts the interview I will link to his youtube page, but for now you only have my take on the interview.

Sometimes I get so focused on getting the next story out I forget how cool the storyline is. Talking with Tristan about how I came up with the idea for the series and discussing Books One and Two really got me excited all over again for the story.

I was telling him about how Book Two is going to have Minotaurs, Centaurs and Elves. We had a quick discussion about the Minotaurs, since we both are big time D&D and MMO fans. I explained my concept for the Minotaur Race like this: Picture Minotaur Roman Legions that are armed with runic metal gauntlets that transform into either a fist punch-spike sword that looks like a Gladius or into a large Roman shield. They also have a secondary weapon slung over their back that is a large double-headed battleaxe.

He loved the mental picture I painted for the race and thought it sounded awesome. I told him I was having a lot of fun with the story and that was just one small piece.

One of my fans from Goodreads, Richard Webster, had a great idea about discussing some of the up and coming things from Book Two. I really liked the concept and will try to slipping in some of the main characters bios from Book Two.

Tristan and I also discussed where I got the idea for the Last Paladin Series from. I explained to him that I always wanted to write and I’ve had several persistent dreams. One being about a teenage boy that was hidden on Earth when his people were decimated, the dream is about how he goes back to his own world and confronts the evil there.

Dreams are never one consistent story, but bits and pieces that are formed as I was growing up via Fantasy/Sci-Fi stories and movies that I grew up with. My childhood was quite horrible, so maybe it was my way of looking for a way out of the pain I was borne into.

Whatever it was, the dreams have been with me since my earliest memories.

When I started writing the Book One, I realized there was an entire story with how Startüm is discovered on Earth by his people’s ancient enemy. It was kind of a surprise since I had planned to start out by quickly going to Irlendria, but once I thought about how that story would go it just made sense to write it out. That is how Book One came into being.

Tristan asked me how many Book I’ve planned for the series, which was an easy answer. For now there is four books planned, although from how well the response is I have a great ideal for slightly altering the planned ending of Book four. If I do that I will easily have another three books to add to the series.

I also explained to Tristan that due to the extensive history of Irlendria and the war that has devastated their planet for around 3000 years. I have a lot of options for pre-stories. I already have one planned that would tell the story of how Startüm’s Mother and Father, Novastar Ironwolf and Ilmarinen Ironwolf, met and fell in love. It would go up to the point of where Novastar’s Father, Shadowfang brings Startüm to Earth.

Also I have a Sci-Fi series that has been building in my mind. One of my other long time dreams since I was a child. I’d like to start this once the first series of The Last Paladin is completed before I do any pre-stories.

All in all, I had a great talk with Tristan. He’s a pretty cool guy and we had a great time talking about everything.

Book 2 of the Last Paladin Series

4/7/2014

0 Comments

 
The second novel to the series is well underway. I am excited about the story. Although the book's focus will be more on the land of Irlendria, there is still lots happening on Earth. I cannot wait to share the story.

I did a lot of research to bring this story to life and I can't wait to share it with everyone.

One of the things I love is a fun read. I want the action to flow and keep you flipping to the next page unable to put the book down. 

I also love tying in real world events, places and current world issues whenever possible. Even though I am not an avid gamer now-a-days because writing takes so much time, I still keep in close contact with the community and new releases. I love to watch new game trailers whenever they are released.

I think it's awesome when you can bring in all the different things you love and build an incredible story with your own twist.

I can't wait to share the new novel with everyone. I guess I'd best get busy finishing the story up!

So I just created my first Amazon author's page and finally hooked everything together, except for Facebook. The good thing is that if I post from my Blog it does hit everything. I'm still tweaking Amazon's website to make sure the links are functioning correctly.

Overall I'm super excited.

First Release

Okay, here is the first World Wide Release of Flight - Book 1 of the Last Paladin Series.

I was able to get both the Printed Paperback and Digital Ebook released last night from Amazon. I will be getting a Printed Hardcover available in the very near future too, which I will be giving as signed gifts for the people who helped me so much on getting the novel to its finished state.

I am sorry to say that for now the book is only in English, but I would love to get the story translated into multiple languages. I just need to find a good means for doing this. Hopefully our Deutsch and Polska friends can help me find a good alternative for getting this translated. I would love to find a university student who could do the translations affordably.

Also I'm planning to get the book released as an audio book in the future too, and will be posting the entire process of my experiences in my website's articles.

Please find the link to your country's version of the book on Amazon. Again the location is only relevant at this time for purchasing from the country you are in. I just ask that anyone who buys the book to please post your review on Amazon.
