A brief note about Malmaxa II – The Pilgrimage. I’m pleased to say that I’m in the final leg of the race to release the second book in my series. Well, perhaps less of a race and more of a marathon…
The Pilgrimage was essentially complete when I released Beltamar’s War, or so I thought. After all it was initially part of the original draft. On the advice of a literary agent, Amy Hayden of Linn Prentis Literary, who declined to represent me yet managed to inspire me with her rejection, I split the first draft into two novels. I’m glad I did as it allowed me to focus on cleaning up the first part of the tale – I am quite happy with Beltamar’s War in its current form.
I started working on The Pilgrimage in earnest almost a year ago. I thought I’d be done with it in a “few months”. Was I wrong, or what? Well, that “few months” turned into about a year. Hopefully it will be time well spent, and I’m looking forward to readers’ comments.
I have just finished working on the artwork for the cover, and I’m doing my last pass through the text now. I think I’ll release it to Kindle and other eBook formats before the end of the weekend. But… I have been known to be wrong before, so watch this space for news.
A preview of the cover appears below.
Selene, shortly before she receives her sixth marks.
