The Title
For starters book three is well under way and I believe now is the time for the big reveal. I am at the point in the writing where I am cleaning up the drafts before the editing starts. It’s like destroying a room in order to clean it. The big reveal will come in three waves and the first of them is the title. The third instalment of The Dragon Riders of Arvain is ………… The Dream of Shadows. I hope you guys like it! A little known fact is that I have had the titles for all four books since before I started writing the series but I hold on to them to make sure that the story grows in the way that I think it will. I have been surprised several times by a change that happens in the story naturally that I had not planned to happen. I guess it's just part of writing I don't know. Along with the title being released I also have the cover art finished but that my friends is wave two, stay tuned.
Did I Lose Track of Time?
If you have read the post prior to this one then you already know that we have a working title for book three, if you haven’t read it yet then please check it out. As for where is the third book? The answer is simple, it’s here in my house. To be more exact it’s saved on my PC and printed in a black binder on the shelf behind me. I assume though you want to know when it’s going to be released?
That answer is not so easy. The novel is finished in the most basic sense of the word. I have the beginning the middle and the end and it is a beautiful arc but it's rusty and dirty and a little over weight. What happens now is I go through it for the second time and try my best to clean up my brain child before its time for pictures. After this pass through I will send it off to a fellow writer to have it looked over and then it's off to the editors. I would like to see it out around April of 2018 but that is just written in pencil at this point.
