All right, dear readers, it’s time for an update-filled post.
First, if you haven’t read, we’re undergoing some changes here at Children of the Wells. The biggest change is we’re going to start releasing books only when they’re completed, instead of serializing them. For some explanation of the reasons, check out Natasha’s blog from last week.
Second, we’re busy preparing a collection of short stories as an anniversary gift for you all. We’ve about all the stories in. You should see it sometime near the end of the month, if everything goes as planned.
Third, since The Well’s Orphan is finished, we’ve compiled it as an ebook. Download it as an epub, mobi, or PDF and read it at your convenience–or share it with others.
Fourth, and finally, since we have a bit of dead space as we finish up our short story collection, I thought it would be nice to release the rest of The Wheel Is Broken here on the site.
The Wheel Is Broken is a collection of 10 flash fiction stories dealing with the immediate aftermath of the Cataclysm in Jalseion. We released two of the stories last year, but now we’d like to share the whole collection on the site.
A bit of background–after writing The Select’s Bodyguard, I felt there was a lot of detail about the culture of Jalseion that wasn’t (and couldn’t be) in The Select’s Bodyguard. Also, the Cataclysm was such an important event, I really wanted to see how it affected different levels of society. So I wrote 10 snapshots, spanning from the evening before the Cataclysm to the evening after, ranging from the poor to the Select.
So, starting next week, I’ll start posting the stories. I think you’ll enjoy them.
Don't miss a single word of stories as they are published! You'll also receive first notice of special sales and behind-the-scenes information.
