Afterwrath Part One Complete, and A Serious Question

Last year, about a year ago exactly, I started a project that I called "nomad." But due to other projects going on in life, and rewriting Crossblade into 'In Search of the Sword,' I was not able to work on the series like I wanted to.

Today I finished part one of the now titled "AFTERWRATH" series, (I like title, don't you?) and it is the beginning of Burk Wallace's adventure into the desert. Part One - Station, will be available soon. If you know anything about my writing, its action packed and filled with believable characters.

When the book is edited and the cover finished, I will let you know. Part Two, a Caw of Ravens, is already in progress.

Exciting stuff.

I have a question for you though. In my quest to feed the voracious appetite of readers everywhere, I'm curious to know something...

What do you look for in a fictional book? Is it believable characters? Original plot? Familiar tones? Realistic story and/or locations? Let me know in the comment section below.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Two Book for 99 Cents - Limited Time

So I've been away for a while and I wanted to drop in with a quick update.

The story of Acbain is no longer free. I hated to do it, but in all honesty I wanted to get more people interested in the story of one of my favorite characters. However, the good news is that Acbain is only 99 cents and can now be downloaded right here on Amazon, or on Smashwords of course

The other exciting story I wanted to mention is my new mini-series, East from Eden, which starts with Book One: Wrath. The series follows Burk Wallace, a mysterious gun-wielding wanderer in search of two unknown people. While passing through a small desert town in Nevada, a supernatural disasters strike the town and globe alike, throwing Burk into a fight for survival. Will he survive? Click here to find out.

Last bit of news. The Crossblade rewrite, dubbed GotC, is coming along well, though I haven't written in a while. Once the holidays are passed, and I have finished a few other projects, the book should be finished by June of next year.

I'm currently working on two non-fiction books; one about time management (one of my favorite subjects) and the other one is about finding your purpose in life. Fun stuff!

That's all for now!

Regards,
Coty

Read My Books? Tell me What You Thought! And a free Book.

Hile, Reader!

Welcome. I've been expecting you.

In a moment I'm going to tell you how you can get one of my books for free. But first:

First off, if you read Paladin (Crossblade, or any other book), thank you. I wrote it not for myself, but in the hopes that others (fans of fantasy and adventure) would read and enjoy.

Now, I know there is no perfect book. There are bad, good, decent, fair and great, and I honestly don't know where Crossblade lies. I rewrote parts of it three times at least, and it went through two full edits before being finished. it's also my first fully fleshed out book.

If you landed here via the link in the book, great! It's awesome to know that some people actually do take action when prompted. And I would ask that you take a few minutes to take just a tiny bit more.

Below, I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me what you thought of the book. I'm looking for an honest opinion. What did you like? What didn't you like? What did you think overall of the story? Things like that would be awesomesauce.

I'd also like to know one more thing: Are you interested in the sequel? Simple yes or no will suffice, but I like to push people. What would you like to see in the sequel? More backstory, action, suspense? No guarantees as to the change of the story itself, but I just might tweak it if enough people agree.

Here's where we come full circle. For the first ten commenters to leave an honest, thought filled response here, I will give you a copy of Crossblade's sequel absolutely free when it is finished. Just make sure that you leave your email in the comment (either at the end, or in your commenting name).

But wait, there's more! (I was a marketer before this...) If you leave an honest comment on Amazon's website (or Smashwords if that's where you picked it up), I'll make sure you get a copy - regardless of whether you're in the top ten or not, cause that's how I roll. You can copy the comment to both, but if you leave an awesome, unique comment on both, email me at address listed on this site, and I'll hook you up with a copy of my next book which is a thriller. You get first dibs!

I look forward to your honest (and hopefully kind) words below.

Thanks,
Coty Schwabe

Welcome to the Typist Chronicles

Hello potential reader. Welcome to the Typist Chronicles, an experiment to convey the randomness that is the ideas for my book series to come, Everlasting Fate. Everlasting Fate is actually not the name of the book series itself, but rather the umbrella or project name of the series as a whole.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

Did your brain just melt, or are you confused as to why you're even here? Well guess what: I'm confused. But glad you made it to be sure!

The Typist Chronicles actually began a few weeks ago when I seriously got to writing and realized I should have been keeping notes (D'oh!). Hopefully you'll follow me as I chronicle my way into becoming a real, recognized author, rather than just another guy at a keyboard, punching keys and filling white space. My goal is not fame or fortune, but rather to make a mark on the world. Well that... and to fill up some of the free time I have during the day while I watch my 19 month old son!

I'll be posting some status updates soon (tomorrow probably) as well as the original entries in the Typist Chronicles chronology.

I fare thee well newfound friend. Til next we meet.
