When making my books available in paperback, the sizing I prefer to use is 5x8. It's a nice size to hold and close to most of the other small paperbacks gracing my shelves. But it does come with a limitation. Namely, it won't support a book that's too large without becoming a terribly unwieldy block. … Continue reading Designing a Monstrous Book

Rewriting the Rewrites that I have Rewritten Before
I don't think I've rewritten anything as much as I have done for The Rogue King Saga. And I don't think so much has been changed as the ending to The Vengeful God.Oh, the overall tone of the ending is the same. The people who die and the people who don't stay the same. But … Continue reading Rewriting the Rewrites that I have Rewritten Before
Going Down The List…
My next stop in tackling the loose ends before Nanowrimo monopolises my November is detangling the issue I've got with The Vengeful God. I've decided to rewrite a scene that was solely from Kael's PoV, breaking it into one from Laccindy's and Veng's. Currently, I'm halfway through this process, having completed the first PoV. I … Continue reading Going Down The List…

This meant merging an extra 20k into The Rogue King. That meant going through the whole process all over again. In the … Continue reading The Rogue King – New and Improved and Coming Soon
Chopping Up My Darling… Again
I've spoken before that The Rogue King Saga is an old creature. It started way back in '97. Eighteen years later, there's little left of the original story.The overarching story is still there. Veng has always been a man facing down a god who seeks to destroy him. But the story within? It grew darker. … Continue reading Chopping Up My Darling… Again
