Map of the World

One of the things that I’ve not done for Tanyth Fairport is map out her world. As I’m working on Book 2, Zypheria’s Call, that lack has bitten me in the behind and I found that I needed to get the map fixed. There will be more, but here’s the map of the world as I know it right at the moment.

I’ll be making some detail maps for each book in a bit.

Except for Korlay and Zypheria, I’m not bound by any of these other names. If you’ve got any suggestions for alternatives for the other two continents or the bodies of water, let me know in the comments.

More Magic!

The hits just keep on coming!

I just finished KC May’s “The Kinshield Legacy.”

KC is another person I met over on the Kindleboards and when her second book in this series came out last week, I went back and looked at the first one.

Wow.

Great story, fun characters, real villainy, and a magic based on gemstones to amplify human talents. This is a classic epic fantasy with a hidden king, evil wizards, and the whole bit. If that’s your thing, you should grab a sample and give it a try. It’s only 99 cents at the moment and a huge bargain.

Let her know if you like it. Tell her “Tanyth sent me.”

Blessed be.

News Update

I’m assuming that most readers here are also following along at the Trader’s Diary, but in case you’re not, Debora Geary has offered free copies of her novella Matchmaker 2.0 to up to three of my readers.

If you haven’t been following then you probably haven’t heard that I’m going to be filling in some of the gaps with some novella length pieces that we’re calling Novel Nibbles. These will be about 20k words long and offered for 99 cents on the kindle and smashwords stores and listed on the Novel Nibbles catalog site as well. I left a post over on the Trader’s Diary with more information but I’m really looking forward to getting more writing out faster than I can do in novel formats alone.

The Ravenwood sequel is on my plate for release in late summer of this year so watch for more stories about Tanyth coming soon.

Thanks again.

Greetings, Traveler.

Merry meet and welcome to the new home of Tanyth Fairport and the stories from the Lammas Wood.

Most of you know me from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper, but this foray into fantasy represents a new direction in my writing. My goal was to take the standard ideas in fantasy literature and give them my own twist. The result is the first book in what I anticipate will be an ongoing series of adventures with my heroine Tanyth Fairport.

The text itself was completed during the NaNoWriMo 2009 event and for the month of December I’m polishing and getting it ready for podcasting. Watch for the release on January 4th, 2010 and come back to visit occasionally. I’ll be adding new pages and supplemental content here as time allows. I’ve got maps, lists of the characters, and other background information that I used to create these stories and I’ll be adding here so you can pull back the curtain a bit and take a peek behind the scenes of Lammas Wood.
