Paladin Name Change, Acbain Story Revealed

I changed Paladin's name to Crossblade to better reflect the nature of the story.

The book can now be found on Smashwords via the Crossblade book page.

I have also gone more into depth with Acbain's story. You can download it for free, also via the Acbain book page. If you're interested in knowing more about the dark elf that sealed the Crossblade in the first place, this is where to go.

Paladin Now Live on Amazon

Hile, readers!

This morning (approximately 12:08) I finally put the ebook version of my book, Paladin on Amazon. I am still in the works of getting a publisher, but in the meantime, you can grab the electronic copy for just 3 bucks from the link in the sidebar.

While I must say I'm proud of the book itself, the cover is drab and mediocre at best. If you're reading this, and either are or know someone who could design a better one, please contact me either via email or comment below.

What is Paladin?

The Crossblade Chronicles will eventually become a full trilogy at least, though there are more stories to come in the same world.

Everlasting fate is really a large umbvrella of different sets and series that all take place in the same world, either before or about the same time as this introduction series - the Crossblade Chronicles.

Paladin introduces Leon VanDesh, our young protagonist (as most fantasy stories semm to gravitate towards) and the struggles he faces both internally as well as externally. It also focuses on his love interest and those that are closest to him, as well as the select few whose destinies intertwine with his own to become one intricate tapestry.

I will post the first few pages on this very site (if interested) or you can request a sample for your kindle from Amazon's sales page for that item. (Again, link to the item in the sidebar.)

Other than that, I've got nothing. Later all!

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.
