A New Story Begins...

In just over a month, the first new book I've published in nearly six years will release. It's been a fun ride getting back into things. Things are wrapping up on the production of Fram Gage and The Holographic Man and I'm looking forward to it's release.

So I can breathe a little, right?

Actually, no.

Because over the past month I've been putting together a new story. I've been working out the plot, characters, settings and more. I'm excited to start this book because it's completely new ... kinda. While it's not part of any particular franchise I've already written, there are things about this book that I have to carefully reveal.

That being said, the characters and settings are completely new. While writing the third Fram Gage book helped ease me back into that writing rhythm, this story is helping me dive into something fresh that I create from the beginning.

What's the name of this story? Tentatively it is titled The Legend of Kyd Lumin. I may decide to title it differently, but for now, that's what it is. I also hope to have it release in early 2021.

Who is Kyd Lumin? Where is he from? What is the legend?

These and more questions will be answered in one of two ways.

A Wiki on my site detailing characters, settings, etc but not part of the actual book
In the book itself

Over the coming months, I'll probably refrain from a lot of typical social media interactions (Instagram posts, YouTube videos, etc.) so I can focus on writing the book and the Wiki entries.

This one is going to be a whole lot of fun and I'm confident many will enjoy the Wiki entries and the book when it releases.

Speaking of which, I started writing it this morning and I need to get back to that.

More to come...
