<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black;">So nice to see these two greats talking about their novels.
Steven King tries to write six pages a day! A book every two months. That’s
pretty good going, Martin! You need to get the finger out!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I managed to write my
first three books in about three months apiece. Granted it all depended on the average
number count of about 130,000 words, (of course, editing, formatting and cover
design takes a bit longer) so a little discipline and dedication goes a long
way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dragor-rix The War of
the Twelve Dragons.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For nigh on four hundred years the terrible war against the
Sept of Red ended with the fall of the Ancanthi and Jarrod the Red.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two hundred and
thirty four years later, the bard Herodotus took a further twenty years to put
together his 52,000 line strophic poetic epic by sifting through the many
academic parchments of Rogan and Vallkyte scholars. Some were tales passed down
by word of mouth while others were first-hand accounts written by the priest of
the Rogal and Derma Ken present at the many battles that saturated this
disruptive period in history.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Below is a recounting of the last great battle of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dragor-rix</i>, Greentree, where Jarrod the
Red met Norin Cromme as he wielded the Dragonlance, Caphil, and where the great
warlord brought an end to the Acanthi horde.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ironically, Herodotus took this poem from the Annals of
Almeria where the tithes of the Gardenal Shrine of the Oracle spoke of the
Acanthi Shako Shamans recounting of the battle in their native tongue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Herodotus renamed it,

The prequel is still in production, I still have a ways to go, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Time to promote, promote, promote.<br />
<br />
Hope you like this wee doodle I did, which works well as an ad for the book. <br />
"Werewolves and Dragons!" I hear you say.<br />
Yep. I don't know of any other fantasy novels where these two mythological creatures meet, I could be wrong, though.

Now that the first series of the Rawns is complete I have decided to re-release them as one book. My plan is to publish <em>after</em> the two prequels (The Rawn Sagas) both out this year and next, so below is my first stab at a front/back book cover for the series. I have left the spine and synopsis matter off until I can find out the page quantity, which will be massive!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it is onto the next series, The Rawn Trinity, the covers of which I am still working on with my Coral Painter X3 graphics software, and the trilogy itself is almost done with two thirds of book 3 to finish.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yes, it has been some time since I wrote anything on this

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last year saw the release of my fourth novel, the Dragon and
the Daemon, reaching quite high in the charts and receiving critical acclaim. The fourth book ends the Rawn Chronicles Series, but not the continuing story. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have decided to write a short
interlude that comprises of the three short stories to fit in-between the end
of the third novel- The Ancarryn and the Quest and the unfinished fourth novel-
The Dragon and the Daemon.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">At the moment, it is written, and
off to be proofread. Therefore, in the meantime, I spent some long slow hours in
designing the books covers and the inner title pages accompany the three
stories. Hope you like them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dedication is what you need,
especially when life puts things into perspective for you.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Since I started this long journey
by writing the Rawn Chronicles I never realised that events would move quicker
than my ability to churn out a few novels. At the time, I used my feelings to
dictate the dedication section on my books to fit with my thoughts, and so this
moved me to add notations fitting <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the current
times, even though I had written the books years before publishing.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is not an excuse to delete
the original dedications; far from it, they will remain. This is just an announcement
to add, change, reconstruct and update the current award already bestowed on
others.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And it is an award. Most, of not
all, writers would agree with me. The dedicatees will have their names in print
forever.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are reasons, some will
remain personal and others will be known to a select few, why I do this. I hope
the original names will not be offended that I give others an honoured place
next to them.</span></div>
