Fey Girl and into Fey World | October 13, 2012

This is an update on what I’m doing and where I’m at.  I’ve been spending most of my free time writing a collection of short stories as a sort of sideshow to my Fey World series of novels.  These short stories give a historical background for the events found in my first novel in that series, Fey Girl, and also the later sequels. 

A great deal of my time has been spent in research for this collection.  It’s called Fey Tales (which will be the first in several instalments) and it starts off in 1100 BC during the Trojan War.  From there it moves from 1000 BC and the fall of the Tower of Babel, 600(ish) BC after the Battle of Thermopylae, 500(ish) BC in Athens during the time of Socrates and then it jumps forward into the Middle Ages with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in 600(ish) AD, The Knights Templar in 1100(ish) AD, Rasputin 1900(ish) AD, World War II and a tale from the 1980’s.

It’s been pretty fun to write about things like Troy, Babylon, King David and Solomon, Spartans, Immortals, Amazons, Leviathan, Zeus, Odin, Ra, the Host of Angels, Plato, Gawain, Lancelot, Morgana, Tom Thumb, Palamedes, Giants, Shapeshifters, Dragons, Ireland, Cyprus, Templars, Merovingians, Franks, Vampires, Cain, Azazel, the Middle Ages, the turn of the century, the Orient Express, Wyatt Earp, the Mound Builders (the Mississippian culture), Mesoamerican artifacts, the Illuminati, the Priory of Sion, anon.

I’m about 70% of the way through at about 45,000 words and then I have to edit: so, I’m hoping to get this book out by the New Year and then start working on Fey Tides (Book 2 of Fey World).
