Sequel Started!

Now that I've published my book, it has kind of lit the fire under me to start on the second one. A few years after I finished the initial draft of A Warrior's Path, I sat down and wrote out some character histories and an outline for the next book. It's been years since I've looked at it, but I dug my notebooks out of storage this weekend and flipped through the pages.

I have to say, I'm more than a little excited. While I had remembered the primary plot, I had forgotten some of the details I had fleshed out in the outline. There's some good stuff in there, and since I'll be working from an outline this time, I think I'll be able to churn out a decent finished work in much less time than it took me to write the first one. I started writing this weekend and got through the prologue and a few paragraphs of the first chapter.

In fact, I had intended to reserve the weekend for getting A Warrior's Path submitted to Amazon, but I was caught up in the excitement of a new story. I don't think the delay in getting to Amazon has hurt me, though. It's not as though readers are clamoring to read my work...yet! I will take the time this upcoming weekend to format the book and get it into Amazon's library.

Republished...

So, in the excitement of formatting and publishing my book, I completely forgot to add my dedication and acknowledgment pages. I know, most readers probably couldn't care less about those, but the people who stood by me and helped me out while I was writing and editing definitely deserve some credit.

Since my realization, I've gone ahead and updated to a new revision that contains those glaringly missing sections. Anyone who bought the original version can obtain the latest revision from Smashwords for free. From this point forward, any new purchasers will only have access to the latest revision.

Get it here: A Warrior's Path
