Revenge of the Gamer

I’ve also added some new content.  I finally put up the first short story I ever had published, Lord of the Deep.  It’s been a long time since I wrote it, but it seems to stand up pretty well. 

The first original short story I’ve written in a long time is up as well.  It’s entitled Tree of Blood and explains the origin of vampires in the Faelands world.  The final version will end up as part of my novel, The Bond of Jhordil.  It stands up pretty well on its own, and as I’ve never submitted a fantasy story I figured I’d give it a shot.  I’m also submitting it to the Dragonmount Anthology and I hope its accepted.  Wish me luck!

I’m currently working on three more short stories.  The next up is another part of the novel, a chapter called Taming the Blade.  The other two are both stories I’ve mentioned before, Sins of our Fathers and The Bargain. 

Tree of Blood took me two days to write, but it clocks in at around 10,000 words which is longer than most short stories.  The others are shorter and should take me less time.

Anyway, I wanted to keep this update short.  I’ll post another story from my past next week.  As I’m starting to get back into paintball I think I’ll recount how I shot Martin Lawrence in the face.
