So here’s a little update on what’s been going on. I’m
writing this quickly, so please excuse any grammar issues there may be.
I’ve been writing and editing like mad, but very little
of it has seen the light of day until now.
From the Ruin of Extinction, the first book of my Christian Fantasy series called
Refuge, is finished and officially for sale at most online retailers. I’m very
proud of this story as it is a retelling of my very first, serious book
attempt. I’m eager to write the sequel, but more on that in a moment.
The next book that I wrote was the loose sequel to Cicada
Song called Not Quite Home. It’s a standalone story that does not need to be
read following Cicada Song, but those who read my first novel would certainly
get more out of the characters who show up or some events that are mentioned.
The eBook is now finished and ready to be purchased at most online retailers.
The paperback edition is still in the proofing stage. Basically, it’s ready to
go, but I’m waiting on a preview copy to come in the mail for me to look over
and approve. I expect to have to make at least one round of corrections on the
cover, so I expect Not Quite Home's paperback edition to be ready for purchase in a few weeks.
The third novel that I've been preparing is Flitter & Plank 2: A Pixie
Problem. This is obviously the sequel to my first juvenile chapter book staring fairies, dryads, and my daughters Paige & Kelsey: The
Adventures of Flitter & Plank. It is in the exact same status as Not Quite
Home. The eBook is available for purchase, but the paperback edition is in the
proofing stages. It'll be ready in a few weeks.
So there we go. It feels good to FINALLY be caught up
(mostly), and it really excites me that I can move on to other things. I’m torn
on which direction to go, though. I am eager to get the Refuge series finished,
so I sorta want to get that one written before anything else. I also like the
idea of writing another Flitter & Plank novel while my girls are still
young. Paige, my oldest daughter, just turned 10 years old, and I don’t know
how much longer she’ll enjoy helping me with those. I already have the story in
mind. It just needs written. Putting a wrench in both of those ideas, however,
is a little paranormal story I call Solitary Village. I wrote a short story for
a contest a couple months ago that was always meant to be the beginning of a
longer tale. Well, it wasn’t selected for the contest, but I really enjoy what
I wrote and am eager to get back to it. Plus, I already have a good chunk of it
started. So wouldn’t it make sense to go ahead and finish it? Well, the jury is
out. I’m still debating on which of these to focus on next (likely starting in
the next week or two). It’ll likely be the second Refuge book, but we’ll see.
In addition to the book updates, I’ve also been asked to
write a second audio drama for Witch Doctor Films. I wrote one last year that was
taped and is in the process of being edited now. They liked it so much they
asked me to come back and do another. That’s actually the next project that I’ll
be working on. It’s the reason I haven’t decided which book to work on next. I
have time. I’ll give more updates on this project when I have them.
As always, thank you for taking the time to read my work
and blog. If you could be so kind, please spread the word.
Thanks,
Bradford Combs
