  • Drovers Update: Draft 2 finished

    ByJohn Brown

    Huzzah!

    I just typed the final words of draft 2 of the first book of The Drovers. It now goes to my beta readers (I’m the alpha reader, the one who sees draft 1). And while they’re reading, I will begin draft 2 of the second book.

    This is the shortest novel I’ve ever written, clocking in at 61,000 words. My target was 50,000 words, the average size of a Louis L’Amour western. But this will do. Depending on the beta reader feedback, I may add or cut a few thousand words. But not much.

    I still don’t have a series name, dang it!

    The Queen’s Drovers?

  • Curse Update: Line Edits are Done!

    ByJohn Brown

    MerryAndPippenDancing

    Yes, it’s goofy GIF worthy. It’s time to party.

    Holy cow.

    HOLY COW!

    The beast is finally finished. Now I send it to my copy editor to brush a bit off here, comb a few strands of hair back, and shine a few buttons there.

    It is done.

    This means release is weeks away.

    I will be announcing an early bird sale to those who have signed up for the Good Stuff Notification. If you want to be sure to get in on that sale, sign up at the top of the left sidebar.

  • Time for some Dark God voting

    ByJohn Brown

    Folks, I’m trying to decide between 2 book descriptions for SERVANT. Tell me which one appeals to you more.

    OPTION A

    The spirited blacksmith’s daughter accused of using the dark and terrifying sleth magic.

    The young man who hunts her. 

    And the ferocious monster who only wants to be free.

    Trapped in a web of lies and ancient secrets, of right becoming wrong, the three must struggle not only against each other, but also a being of irresistible powers. A creature who is gathering her servants to usher in the impending human harvest.

    If the three succeed, they will save those they love the most. If they fail, the clans of the land fall with them.

    OPTION B

    Sugar, the blacksmith’s daughter, is on the run, accused of using the chilling sleth magic.

    Talen is determined to catch her, not only to get the bounty on her head, but to clear his people from her guilt.

    But his plans go awry when a terrifying creature of grass and stone begins to stalk the clan lands. A creature that is somehow tied to those both Sugar and Talen hold dear. A creature sent by the dark Mother, the true master of the land, to both find the seed she planted in a woman’s womb a number of years ago and kill all those who might oppose her. 

    At odds and trapped in a web of ancient secrets, lies, and lore, Talen and Sugar must struggle to find the truth. But will they be able to uncover a way to fight back and save their loved ones before the Mother finds the one she bred to be her scepter and return her to power? The one bred to become lord and usher in the impending human harvest.

    Let the voting begin.

  • Another positive review for Servant of a Dark God: Don D’Ammassa

    ByJohn Brown

    Here’s Don D’Ammassa, yet another one of these reading forces of nature (about 1 book per day), on Servant of a Dark God.

    This first fantasy novel gets kudos from the outset because the setting was sufficiently different from the usual to make me perk up after only a couple of chapters…This series shows a good deal of promise mixing workmanlike writing with some genuinely interesting ideas.  More
