Update on CURSE OF A DARK GOD – just finished numba 50

ByJohn Brown

I just finished chapter 50 and am heading into the climax sequence.  I have only 9 chapters left, and they should go fast. Right now I’m at 170,000 words. I’m going to finish a little over my target word length, but I don’t think it’s anything I can’t edit back down. 

In this book, Talen has to deal with the fact that he was fashioned to be a tool.  Sugar gets some kick-butt skills.  There’s a little romance. We also get to meet the woodikin, only mentioned in book one, and their wasp lords, as well as a new character named Harnock, who is a sleth blended by Lumen for battle.  There are other bit characters: a woman who reminds me of the Wife of Bath and a some sleth from the Old World. The Bone Faces come back in force. And you get to find out what happens to Nettle. Lots of great stuff. I really think those who liked Servant of a Dark God are going to enjoy this.

Oh, yeah.  And the Dogmen of Toth, some nasty pieces of work.

  • Positive Review from James Maxey on Orson Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show

    ByJohn Brown

    James Maxey is a writer I admire. For his work ethic. For the quality of his prose. For his imagination. His story “To Know All Things That Are In The Earth” is one of my favorites. So you can be sure I was pleased to find and read this today.

    I will say, in utter candor, that Servant of a Dark God is a work that truly stands out from other fantasy books on the market. What makes this book work so well is that it’s a story about family first, and a fantasy adventure second. Full review.

  • The Drovers: Update

    ByJohn Brown

    Folks, I have finally finished draft 1 of The Drovers.

    Let there be much rejoicing.

    It clocked in around 75,000 words, and as soon as I finished, I realized I had two shorter novels. And this is exactly what I had originally planned. I wanted to tell a very long story in many shorter chunks. So I now have two 35,000 short novels. Since only writers think in word counts, here are some other books to give you a comparison.

    • Louis L’Amour’s westerns: most average around 50,000 words.
    • James Patterson’s Maximum Ride and Witch & Wizard series: average around 60,000 words.
    • Richard Paul Evans’s Michael Vey series books: average around 77,000.
    • The first three of Horowitz’s Alex Rider books: around 55,000.
    • Brandon Sanderson’s Steelheart books: around 100,000.

    My books usually get a bit larger with the second draft, so I expect these will probably end up around 45,000 words. We’ll see.

    What I’m really looking forward to is telling a long story in these smaller chunks and unrolling the story like it’s done on TV.  You can do things over 20 or 30 episodes that you simply can’t in one big novel. This doesn’t meant I won’t be able to have big climaxes. Of course, I will. It just means that I’m going to do it in a slightly different form. I already have the basic ideas for the next dozen or so books. And now that I’m rolling, I expect things will go faster.

    The working title of book 1 is “Hireling.” The working title for book 2 is “Outcast.

    The cast so far:

    • Ferran: the main character, a scrappy boy that’s trying to keep his mam and sister from bondage
    • Itch: his dog
    • Krov: the big woodsman’s son, aka the Lover
    • Winwalom: Ferran’s best friend who is manifesting forbidden powers
    • Ranoc: the boy who wants to be one of the king’s rangers
    • Caswal: the mean one who has it out for Ferran
    • Borros: the drover and former grimsman
    • Lagash: the cook and foreigner who once beat Borros in battle

  • Idaho Librarians

    ByJohn Brown

    Just got back from the Idaho Librarian conference in Soda Springs.

    • Had a wonderful time. Got to meet a lot of great people. I just love librarians.
    • Organizer Cindy Erickson was so very gracious. She even promised to take my wife and girls huckleberry hunting. Not only does she reference books, she references the sweet harvest spots!!
    • Drank my first bottle of Hooper Springs sparkling water–naturally carbonated mineral water. It wasn’t too bad at first, but I can still taste the minerals seven hours later 🙂
    • Borders from Logan came up and sold a whole bunch of my books. The sales manager was very positive about the new corporate management. I hope things go well for the bookstore.
    • Locked myself out of my car. But I have a solution now, thanks to one of the librarians (how do they know so much?), that will never ever ever ever fail. I will never be in that situation again. No, I’m not talking about a magnet key box somewhere.
    • Told myself I am getting a camera to take to these things next week. That’s it. I want pictures of all these fine folks.

  • Another review and interview for Servant of a Dark God

    ByJohn Brown

    On Saturday, gun nut (and author of Monster Hunter International) Larry Correia had a group of his buddies show up to the signing. They explained the explosive target business to me. Larry read the book over the weekend and then held forth in this review.

    In this interview with Lon Prater I discuss the how much work it required for me to write this novel.

  1. So it will still be a year to two years after you are finished with this first draft before it is offically on shelves, correct?

  6. Man, I can’t wait! Been looking forward to this one since putting the last one down. Good luck!
