Book Three on Amazon

It's been a while between posts but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. Brianna & The Perils of the Darkwood has been released and is available on Amazon. I have to say it is my favorite book so far, but then again, I say that about each book as I release them so there you go.
I've already begun piecing together the outline for book four in my head, I even have a tentative title for it that I will share in a future post. It's my plan to end the saga with book four but that doesn't necessarily mean the end of the Legends of Midralon. I am already thinking of two possibly three more books that will further chronicle adventures in Midralon!

Win A Free Copy of Emily & the Silent King at TempleCon 2011!!

I will be attending all three days of TempleCon 2011 and I will be giving away one copy of Emily & the Silent King each day! The rules are simple: the first person to say the phrase "Beware of the Silent King" to me between the hours of 9AM and 11:30PM EST gets a book!
You can't win more than one copy and I will be taking a picture of each winner!
Every day that I don't give a book away I will bump that copy and add it to the next day's free pool!
I will also have a very limited amount of extra books one and two available for sale at $10 each!
I will be there gaming along with the rest of the attendees so please be polite if I'm in the middle of a gaming session! Hope to see you there! It's gonna be a blast!!

Neglecting the Blog But Not the Books

I'm the first to admit I've been very lax in keeping my blog updated, but rest assured I've been busy with the books and in fact book three is nearly ready for publication. Once it is ready I will return to regular blog postings (no promises but I will make every effort!)
I will be attending TempleCon this weekend in Warwick, Rhode Island if a snow storm doesn't derail my trip and I am hoping to generate some interest in the series with a free book give away, the details of which will be in another post.
Book four, the final book of this initial part of the series, still remains in outline form and will get some serious attention in the weeks following my return from the con! As I said I will post more as I progress!
That's all for now, there might not always be long or interesting posts but there will be posts!

I'm still here! Really I am!

I know it has been a very long time between my posts but I've been fighting to reignite the muse that inspires my creative side. For some reason it chose to go into hiding last September and only recently has shown signs of stirring to life. Now that the holiday crush is pretty much over, I find myself missing my writing more and more. I've been jotting down some notes for various writing projects and I dusted off the file for book three in the Legends of Midralon series. The good news is that the third book is already written I just need to go through it and brush it up, to prepare it for my editor.
There is more good news; CreateSpace recently expanded their distribution offerings so now Emily & the Silent King is available at Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million as well as many other places. Schools and libraries will able to order it now using their favorite systems, so please take a moment the next time you are at your favorite local library or bookstore to request one of my books (or even all of them!)
If you've read any of the Midralon books and liked them, please stop by one of the sites selling my book and leave feedback, as I'm sure you all know, positive feedback will help sell a book more than any cover art or description can. Also, please join the facebook fan page and/or become a follower on this blog as well. You can also follow me on twitter at twitter.com/Midralon or twitter.com/IrvenK. Tell your friends, family and anyone else you think would be interested in the Legends of Midralon series.
I am also going to make time to work on the audio podcast of book 1, I hope to have at least the first few chapters ready in the coming weeks. If you've made it this far into my post here, I'd like to share with you a short piece of intro music for the podcast that I've put together. I am planning on playing this music along with a voice over introduction before each chapter I read. Let me know what you think!

Another Review Posted

Just finished reading another very nice review of Emily & the Silent King posted by Maria Luisa Antonaya over on Suite101.com. I really liked how she summarized the book, it is much better than the back copy I came up with for the cover! I continue to be very happy with how well the book has been received by the various book reviewers, especially since it's a first book. It is a welcome confidence boost and gives me additional incentive to finish the other books in the series. It will be interesting to see how the later books are reviewed! Please stop by and read the review when you get a chance and leave a comment if possible.

Book Worming in the 21st Century Book Review

Another positive book review for Emily & the Silent King has come in! Kristen over at BookWormingInThe21stCentury gave it four out of five roses! I'm very pleased with the positive reception book one is getting and I can only hope that Devin & the Empire of Wolves is as well received as the first book in the series has been! Everyone seems to love the Dwarves and I really enjoy writing them, I'm going to do my best to bring out some of the other characters as the series progresses to give Helgi and company a little competition.

I just realized that I did not announce the availability of book two in the Legends of Midralon series on this blog! Devin & The Empire of Wolves is now available on Amazon and CreateSpace! It's been slowly but steadily moving up the sales charts since I announced it on the facebook fanpage last week! Thanks to everyone for your support!

My vacation is coming to an end and this means I will be getting back to work on revising the book three rough draft and working on the podcast of book one! So much to do, my weekends are going to be very busy for the foreseeable future!

Tell Your Friends!

Devin & The Empire of Wolves is now available! You can find it on Amazon here and CreateSpace here! I'm very happy with how this book turned out and I think the readers of the first book will like the direction the story is headed! I can't wait to start getting feedback from everyone! Please visit/join the Legends of Midralon fanpage on facebook for more information on a discount code for this book (code only valid on orders through CreateSpace)! International readers can purchase the book through CreateSpace.
