Stay tuned!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  This year I'm thankful for many things and one of them is that so many people have already showed support for Hippocampus (Book One of the Atlantis Revolution).  Thank you to everyone who has supported the book thus far and all of those who will in the future. 

Today starts the Holiday season and I usually get a great deal of writing done during the last month+ of the year.  Hoping the same holds true this year.  With 5 days off of school for Thanksgiving, I plan to spend a couple days with family and then a couple days writing to lead off the writing month. 

Enjoy Thanksgiving with your loved ones!!

Update on the Revolution

I'm writing again!  After many weeks of feeling ill and mentally drained, I'm back to writing strength again.  Lucky for me (and you if you're waiting for the second book...oh wait, never mind!)  I planned, plotted, outlined, and created characters during my down time and now it's full steam ahead with the story.  For those of you that haven't kept track, I'm currently writing Echinodea (Book Two of the Atlantis Revolution).

I wrote a fight scene on Sunday and now I'm working on a very important plot line to the series.  It's a piece crucial to the overall story of The Atlantis Revolution and I think it will be particularly interesting to readers.  I know I'm intrigued by the possibilities.

The goal is still to finish the first draft of Echinodea before Hippocampus hits the market (June 26, 2012).  Based on my current progress and the outlines in front of me, that's entirely possible (as long as I don't get sick and/or mentally drained again).  I'd be even happier if I meet that goal a few months ahead of schedule.

Mnemosunero (Chapter One of Hippocampus)



Royal Palace – Atlantis
      Aerian woke with a gasping breath. Her face, drained of all color, contrasted her sweat matted black hair and gray robes. If her dream was true, something that had been predicted eleven thousand years ago was in progress. She listened to the world around her to figure out if she should believe the dream that woke her. But, being deep in the heart of the palace basement, she didn't hear anything at all.
     

Aruc's Prophecy for the Atlantis Revolution


Atlantis exists. Of course, you don't know this because it's hidden from our world. Eleven thousand years ago, the Greeks and Egyptians attacked Atlantis. In order to protect the island, Aruc, a sorcerer, created an illusion of the island sinking and then put a barrier in place to prevent outsiders from seeing or gaining access to Atlantis. But Aruc knew that the isolated island was not safe forever. In fact, he cast the very prophecy that predicted the bleak future of the island. His prophecy became known as Profiteia ek Epanastasi.


From Blood of Evil and Blood of True
A Boy is Born and this Prophecy Due
For When the Abyss Rises to Make Its Mark
The Savior is the Boy with Royal Blood Half Dark


The sorcerer then designed a plan that would ensure the survival of the island he loved. For thousands of years, Atlantis continued in peace and prosperity with no need for the plan.
Sixteen years ago, the Prince foreseen in Aruc's prophecy was born. Familiar with the Prophecy, and knowing that one day the boy would be needed to save Atlantis, the royal family sent the baby off the island to ensure his safety in the world outside Atlantis. Eleven thousand years after it was created, Aruc's plan was finally put in motion.


The Atlantis Revolution begins…
