Hey, just got a hold of my copy today. Shame I don't have much free time to sit down and read the whole thing in a sitting.

Attention for getting published can never be a bad thing. Unless of course you made some horrible error in the middle of the book that will forever condemn you. xD

Actually, the reason first editions of books are worth so much is because of the errors. There are some beauties in the Harry Potter series.

No one's told me of any really embarrassing errors in mine yet...so I hope there aren't any tongue.gif. Then again, maybe an awesome typo will make me famous!

Also, thanks for buying! I appreciate it smile.gif

Aye. Good question(s).

Writing a book has been my life's goal since I was a kid. I've written countless stories, and when I was...9 or so? one of them even reached about 200 or so pages of notebook paper. One of my central characters actually originated from this story. Same name, same attitude, same personality. If I read it today it likely wouldn't make any damn sense, but still, it's something, right?

This particular series has been influenced by...my whole life, essentially. It started off as a fun series of ideas fueled by my strong sense of creativity and knack for character creation, but the story quickly escalated. It's not only an entertaining piece; by the series' end the reader will be punched in the face by the harsh and frightening realities of today's world.

It started...four or five years ago. The ideas came a bit before that, but that's when my pen finally hit the paper. I wrote the first few paragraphs of the prologue that is still within the covers of my published book (though it's obviously been edited tongue.gif) back then. That's when I came up with my four countries, and ultimately, my one continent. The whole four-part series was going to be this one book; everything jam-packed into it. But then I had more ideas, and a second continent popped up with an entirely new story that connected to the first. Then, before you know it, everything just sort of...happened.

That was probably a bit longer than what you were looking for tongue.gif but there it is.

No, that's quite interesting. Since you were 9, eh? Ha, if I tried to write anything based on my fantasies back then, it'd be stupid. But oh well.

Also, guess who just linked people in charge of Christmas presents to the Ebay page of your book!

Hey! I don't know if I will get your book, (My funds are running low) but I just want to say this: You are awesome! I have been wanting to write a novel for a long time now, and just recently participated in NaNoWriMo, but I only made it to 30k.
Seeing this story of your ultimate success really inspires me!
The way you started(just simply writing something down because you had ideas in your head) is actually surprisingly accurate if you were to describe me. I love to think up stories, characters, worlds, adventures, etc. It's a pain to not be able to explore those more, and I am glad I like to write xD
Anyways, long rambling session short, I just want to say that I hope to one day accomplish the same thing as you biggrin.gif Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you!

and you're welcome for the inspiration tongue.gif. Quite a few people have said that to me already, actually. It feels good to help!

Side note: Only a handful of copies left! They'll be gone soon; if you don't buy one off me you'll have to order via Amazon/Barnes and Noble (which means no signature!).

Also, if you have ordered it (and read it) if you could do these two things, that would be awesome:

1. Tell me (or post) your favorite character. No reasoning behind this...I'm just curious!
2. Write a review on Amazon/Barnes and Noble. I'm not asking for everyone to 5-star it or anything. I'm looking for honest opinions, especially from people who I don't "know" personally. (I haven't got much feedback from strangers yet.)

Well, I finished the book. In three sittings, ignoring eggnog breaks.

First order of business: Typos. There weren't many I noticed. I think there were a couple places where the word "that" either should have been there but wasn't or shouldn't have been there but was. I noticed one "have" that should have been "has." The biggest one came at the start of chapter 17, though- you said something along the lines of "by the week's end, the houses were almost uninhabitable." Given that they were rebuilding those houses, shouldn't the word be habitable? A little later in that chapter, you also said "sneakily manner" instead of "sneaky manner." (Derp, I had a typo in there that was supposed to be a correction to your typo rolleyes.gif )

But I've noticed more typos than this in classical literature we read at school, and given that this is a first edition, that's not bad.


Onto the actual book. Given how quickly I read it, I think it's obvious I enjoyed it. There were a few things that bugged me at the beginning, but either they stopped happening later or I just got used to it. You have/had a tendency to go into present tense when describing characters sometimes. I found this sort of weird because it was like you were actually talking to me, not like I was just reading a story. Not bad at all, just weird. What bothered me a little, though, was the transition between past and present tense. At least one time, it happened mid sentence, and not in a way that made sense to me. The other things that bugged me were things you couldn't really control- it was mostly the way people used words. I think it's probably just an Eastern US vs. Western US thing, where the way you guys use certain words is simply different from here. The big one, though, was the way you used "withdraw." Goodness, you used that word a lot, and (almost?) never in the way I would use it. By the end, I was completely used to it, but the first time I was like "wait, 'withdrew his sword?' What?"

I'm going to put the rest of this in a spoiler
Talkin' 'bout specific story stuff now (Click Here To Hide/Show Text)

I'm probably going to jump around as things come to mind. Bear with me.

The passage underneath Oro. When I first read what Adrian had to say about it, I won't lie, I thought "Mines of Moria knock off." But then I read it, and I must say, it was really good. I was laying in my dark room at the time, so some parts of it were especially creepy, like the ghosts. That was pretty great. Thinking back, that may actually have been the best part of the book. And then the demons- I liked the throwback to Greek mythology. I read a lot of Greek mythology as a little kid.

Favorite characters? Probably Lloyd and Euwart. I don't know if you intended this, but I found a lot of what they did/said hilarious. As much as I'm sure I'd hate them in real life, they were great characters. I found Euwart's speech style really entertaining. As much as I hate the overuse of swearwords, I laughed so much at his ability to use "shit" or "****" as any verb. Lloyd being so incredibly blunt- even when he didn't say anything- was great. Maybe it was because I read the middle 50% of the book when I was super tired, but those two made me laugh out loud a lot. I don't usually laugh out loud when I read books.

I do have one question, though. If Terrowan left because he thought his presence would bring an attack, why did he say he didn't know why the Black Knight attacked? Compounded with the golem and the chimera saying something along the lines of "we have to destroy the Order," it seemed pretty obvious to me that the BK was attacking to kill Terrowan/Tristan.


And to finish off, I'd like to say I loved that last paragraph. Sounds weird, but it seemed very poetic to me.

Thanks for the awesome reply! And speedy read o_O

Going to answer this in a spoiler so it isn't incredibly long:


x (Click Here To Hide/Show Text)

No one's pointed out those typos before (I don't remember some of those things happening...) so I'll have to look into it. The present vs past tense switching is part of my style, but it happening mid-sentence should definitely not ever happen. I'll have to look at that passage again. Thanks!

And yes, Eastern slang made it in. In my experience, "withdrew sword" makes perfect sense and is used all the time. I guess the meaning is different elsewhere. Interesting. And yes...I had to try really hard not to use the word "wicked" tongue.gif.

About the Oro-- when I thought of the idea I was like "crap. I want to do this, but I can't make it sound like Moria." So I tried extremely hard to make it vastly different, since the Oro scenes are some of the most important. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Out of all the places they "adventured" (the South, the plains, the desert, etc) the Oro passage is my favorite. I'm surprised more people haven't thought of it as their "favorite" scene...you're the first one to actually tell me it was. Others have felt the Arigliothan castle and Naruta scenes were best.

Also: if you didn't notice by my name, I'm very much 100% Greek, so likenesses to Greek mythology play some roles here.

Protip: Look up some of the names of places, weapons (namely the italics) and people's names (mainly the legends) in both Latin and Greek. You might learn something!

About Euwart and Lloyd: Euwart is meant to be entertaining and his speech very modernized, so I'm glad you found some of his lines funny. He's supposed to be the comic relief, essentially. Lloyd is meant to be up to the interpretation: some think he's a complete douche so much that they hate him, but others find his bluntness absolutely hilarious. I've had a couple people on each side of that spectrum.

And about Tristan's encounter with his dad: If you noticed, Terrowan doesn't exactly share with Tristan a great deal of information. And the Black Knight's attack is mysterious in itself. Terrowan had left Entervia much earlier on, and Tristan is not an anointed warrior of the Order, meaning he poses (almost) no threat. If the knight were to attack, he probably would have done so when Terrowan was there, right? And leading an army to kill two people would seem a bit far-fetched...maybe. Is there, perhaps, an alternate reason for the knight's attack on Entervia?

Or...is Terrowan secretly full of crap? Note that he refuses to answer some of Tristan's questions and sort of leaves unexpectedly.

I can't reveal much because your question (although a great one that no one has asked me yet) will be answered later on, much like some of the other unanswered questions (who was the Black Knight? What was up with King Lennard? etc).

As for the last paragraph, quite a few people have reacted in the same way. Was it my intention? Not at all. When I finished it, I thought it was kind of "meh" and I was shocked to see how many people complimented it. Now when I reread it I'm like, damn, that is kinda awesome.


Thanks for the response and glad you enjoyed it. My goal with this is to bring entertainment value, and I hope I did just that!

Here, withdrawing your sword would actually kind of mean the opposite. It's like withdrawing an offer- it would be pulling the sword away from the person. Given how often people "withdrew" things, it didn't take long for me to get used to it. Also, depending on when you used "wicked," it might have actually worked. Wicked witch and all that.

Well, the castle part seems unfinished to me, like there's more to it. And, well, given what happened with Lennard, I think it's safe to say there is. I guess it's possible I'll like that whole thing more than Oro, but not now. As for Naruta... I don't know, I guess I just didn't like it as much as Oro.

I thought some of it sounded awfully Latin.

Lloyd (and Euwart) are the kind of people I would hate in real life. Quite frankly, I didn't like Lloyd at the beginning. Once he became more than just a guy who killed people, though, I liked him. As an actor, I actually thought a little about how he could be played. I mean, there's obviously more to him than being obnoxiously aloof and very good with a sword. There are certainly some things he cares about. Why else did he divulge his past? Or train Tristan? Or help Vellard? Or take on the role of king in the first place? I get the sense he joined the group for more than just seeking out difficult opponents. After all, he doesn't need other people to go on an adventure to do that.

I guess I can't really argue with the author, but I'm glad to know that that wasn't poor writing and that I will, eventually, get an answer.

"Withdrawing" is commonly used around here as "withdrawing money from a bank." Like, taking it out. Hence why I used it for "withdrawing a weapon." Again, it's interesting to see that that word is taken differently in other regions. Never knew that before.

And I mean wicked as in the New England version. Ex "That was wicked awesome!"

Some have also taken Lloyd's character similarly to you. Some say he doesn't care about anything while others say he does (mentioning the things you said). I purposely threw in a roughly equal amount of evidence to support both sides so people can argue forever. I know, I'm a sonofabitch.

Also, it's fine to argue with me tongue.gif. I love it when people have different interpretations of the scenes. I obviously know the truth, but the way people interpret things differently is interesting and is pretty awesome when they let me know about it.

Well, there are clearly things Lloyd genuinely doesn't care about, but a lot of his actions make no sense if he genuinely is indifferent towards everything. There's stuff between emotional and apathetic.

Well, since you've invited me to argue with you rolleyes.gif
Given what the reader knows regarding the Black Knight, there are logical scenarios that can explain why the BK attacked. I would assume Terrowan's wife was Hell's first attempt at removing the Order completely. When that failed, he had to fall back on a more forceful attack. But he would need time to build up the support and possibly also to create the Black Knight. While doing this, there is no way known to us that Hell could learn that Terrowan left. This would be a very logical step towards a new attempt at capturing the world. As the only known Crusader descendants, Terrowan and Tristan could rally support to fight back and could do things like the original Seven did to defeat Hell. The Black Knight's assault on Vellard also leaves at least Dregnal (that's the continent, right?) pretty firmly under Hell's control. Entervia and the North quite clearly would be, Ariglioth is under control of a king quite likely being manipulated, and the South is both too unorganized to fight off Hell's now bolstered forces and likely to support it since it wiped out Entervia. From the sounds of it, the other continent is falling under Hell's clutches, too, leaving all of the known world under Hell's control with no foreseeable threat of any significance.
