Update

As excited as I was for a July release date for part one I don't see that happening. More like the end of this year. I want to make sure that you the reader get the quality novel that you deserve I am sorry for the delay and my editors have brought some great ideas to the table to make the first part even more epic. Stay tuned for more. But on a positive note...Mage eye beginnings will be out hopefully by the end of July and it will be free. I am also Looking for a name for a new capital city for the world of Darcodonius. It will be the capital city of the evil god Raziel suggestions? Leave comments here if you have one.

So I have been working on my book trying my best to get it ready for a July publishing date, Well the more research I do the more I am realizing that it is not going to be that date. It would be more realistic for me to look for more of a December or even a January 2013 the actual part one of the book is almost done and should be finished by the end of this month, but I still have formatting for Ebook publishing and I haven't even got the Editing started yet. I would still like to get a good read over it and make adjustments as I see fit, to make the first part as enjoyable as I can for the readers. I have learned a lot over the past couple of months about the who self publishing in the Ebook world. I would like to share that knowledge by adding some links to some great books that have helped me on this journey. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/305 https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/145431 I know there is another one when I find it I will edit this post and include it.

Dolvarion Burial Song

“Udos vel'uss ph'zhuanth, zhuanth lu'numl, O ji zhuanth! Thou’sods d'drasven, thou’sods d'drasven, Ka jal zhahen della: Belbau ulu nindolen dhynen, hirs ulu l'tresk'ri, Natha xukuth nindel's gareth; Lu'l'verve wew-pothng klew'kinnen d'l'isto, Lu'l'edonil's linath: Udos sevir nindolen thac'zilen, l'shores d'l'tresk'ri, Ulu v'dre feir dal nesstren . Zhah gaer jalbyr i'dol, jalbyr i'dol? Tesso udossa ol t'yin: Udossa vel'uss ph'zhuanth, zhuanth lu'numl, O ji zhuanth! Thou’sods d'drasven, Thou’sods d'drasven, Ka jal zhahen della” (Translated as: We who are young, old and sad, O so sad! Thousands of years, thousands of years, we have lived: Give to this mortal, heir of the world, A heart that's strong; And the long dew-dropping hours of the night, And the twilight's song: you leave these lands, the shores of the world, To rest far from men. Is there another way, another path? Tell us it then: we who are young, old and sad, O so sad! Thousands of years, thousands of years, we have lived.)

Gamming in the world of Dracodonius

I have been toying with the idea, after the first part of the book is released, about looking into either the new Dungeons and Dragons edition or even a D20 role play rules and releasing the world of Dracodonius as a role playing world. I have been out of the pen and paper game scene for so long I have lost track of it. Since the world that I am writing about started off as a game world for my old AD&D group almost 20 years ago it would only be logical to make it a game world again even if it is a pen and paper game that stands alone. What do you the follower think? I have the maps and notes for the way the world works and even have the plains laid out for gaming off world so to speak, a time line so that DM's could place their characters in any point. I cold even create it where the player characters are adventuring during the time of the book. There is much more going on than what is being described in the book. My point is the limitations are limitless.

Continued efforts

Just an update for you the followers of Mage Eye, I am still working diligently on the second draft of the book. It is still slated to be released this summer (2012) so stay tuned. I am wondering what you think about steam punk? I have recently become fascinated with this genre and I was thinking about incorporating a cutler similar to it in my book.If you are not familiar with the fantasy world of Dracodonius it is what is considered an epic fantasy world. It is a world that of course has your standard Fantasy elements of Dragons (There are over 20 different kinds on Dracodonius), Wizards (Dracodonius has four kinds of Magic), elves (Several different species) and Knights (Four major Organizations); But did you know that there are also Vampires, Werewolves, and Ghosts in the world as well. I have tried very hard to incorporate all the elements of the Fantasy genre into my work. Steam Punk is the newest Gere I would like to work into the book. What do you the reader think? I think it would be an interesting concept to have in a world of Dragons and wizards, a society based on technology powered by steam. I think it would fit in well. It would be based more on the Victorian kind of society instead of the apocalyptic version. My stumbling block with this is weather to create a new race that would follow this path or create it to where the humans discovered this form of technology?

Lots of Excitement building.

So if you know of me and chances are if you are following this blog then you know me personally then you know There is a lot of Excitement building for the release of Part one of Mage Eye: The Dracodonius Chronicles Part one. It should be out and the next three to four months. It will be available in E-Book format only for now. In anticipation for the books release I have made available several new items for you the viewer. Most of these you can view through the books Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/Dracodonius the best one I think so far is the Books Trailer. Once my books Facebook page hits 50 likes I plan on releasing something for the hardcore fan/follower of my book. I can’t believe that my book will be out soon, it’s a great feeling of accomplishment for me to see it get to this point. Just so you the follower/fan know, I have decided to go with a different marketing plan. I will be releasing the book as a series of short novella’s these will comprise of about three chapters a piece and once they are all done I will release the deluxe version. I am doing this to keep the cost down for you the fan/follower. By doing it this way I can keep the cost to about $1.99 to $2.99 per book. The deluxe version of course will include all of the Novella’s as well as some extra’s that you will only be able to get with the Deluxe version. I am also working on a new website for you to be able to go to and view more information about the world in which Gemini, Ulaborn, and Silvara live. I will be planning on doing my best to keep this blog more interesting as well by updating it more, where you the reader can get more in depth information concerning the world of Dracodonius, Like the blog post on one of the interesting Holidays of the world and the Character profile of one of the gods of the world. So with out further ado here is the books Video Trailer for you to view. The excitement is building, people are talking, can Dracodonius be saved from Eschathus or will the companions be replacing one evil for another. Keep following and find out the date of the books release.

Gilgleam God of Light and all things good

After working on the newest blog post concerning one of the gods of Dracodonius I have discovered that I do not like the names I have given the pantheon of my world. So I have renamed them and even came up with a few more. So the new list of gods goes as follows; gods of light: Gilgleam-god of good, Lan-god of nature, Koranor-god of Justice, Polor-god of the sky. gods of Neutralality: Setharus-god of Knowledge, Magivus-god of Magic, Chronesith-god of Time, Nefarus-god of the elements. gods of Darkness: Raziel- god of evil, Beltar- god of greed, Nerux- god of death, Korzann- god of war. That is a current list of the pantheon for Dracodonius. so without further adu here is the newest blog post centered around Major players in the upcoming book Mageeye: The Dracodonius Chronicles.


NAME: Gilgleam (Once known at Bogtharus) also known as The Platinum warrior, and the platinum Dragon.
One of the first gods to be woken in the great void, He is the known as the shining light that broke the void open. His Twin sister Raziel was the opposite; she is the one who wanted to keep the void closed. Between the two there was light and dark in the Void. They both brought with them other beings to populate the void. Gilgleam brought with him Lan, the goddess of Nature, and they became wed and had a son, Koranor. They also had a Daughter Polor. Gilgleam also brought with him his old friend Setharus who was a keeper of all knowledge. After all the immortals were gathered beings of light and Darkness as well as those who were loyal to both but neither, they decided to create a world. They created Dracodonius, Gilgleam inhabited the world with the elves. They are long lived races that have an affinity for Nature, out of respect for his wife, Lan. They had fair skin and hair that reflected the light, usually being blonde, light brown or other light colors. This was to reflect his affinity for the things of light and goodness. He taught the elves how to be one with the light and Lan taught them how to be one with Nature.

Gilgleam and the other gods left the world after inhabiting it with beings and creatures; it was shortly after this withdrawal that Gilgleam and the other gods discovered that their powers became stronger as the beings on Dracodonius worshiped them. This lead to the first war in the heavens, between Gilgleam and Raziel and the gods of light and dark, Raziel wanted to enslave the beings and force them to worship the gods to feed them more power, Gilgleam wanted to keep the free will of the beings intact so the gods went to war over this. Gilgleam lead the forces of Light against his twin who lead the forces of darkness. The heavens thundered and split open scaring the being that inhabited the world. This first war the mortal races never knew about and after the conclusion of it, the gods split the void up, the void became what the mortal called the outer planes. They were created by Gilgleam, Raziel, and Setharus and each god had a claim to a specific plane. Gilgleam and the gods of light claimed Celestia and the Beastlands, Raziel and her gods of darkness claimed Hades and the Abyss, Setharus and the gods of neutralality claimed the shadow and elemental planes. The remaining planes known as Archeron and Limbo were claimed by no one but are in a constant battle between the various denizens of the gods.

Gilgleam rules the gods of light from the platinum palace located at the top of the mighty mountain of Celestia. He has been known to visit the mortal plane of Dracodonius in great times of need and usually takes the form of an old man in blue robes, but has been known to engage his enimes as the great platinum warrior dressed in full plate mail armor astride a mighty winged warhorse. His constilation on the sky is that of a mighty dragon.

Demon's Day

Since today is Halloween I thought that I would post a Holiday that is similar from my book. This day is known simply as Demon's day.
It started shortly after the war of the immortals but it came about shortly before. Shortly before the year 1003 Tiatharus opened the gates to the abyss and unleashed the the demons from her realm on to the land. These demons had never been to a mortal plane before and they were a little confused at first. These first demons were small ones and they only attacked beings of their size. When they came across the first human civilization the adults were bigger than they were so they started kidnapping children. This was so that they could learn more about the humans. When the humans realized what was happening they sent out a battalion of knights to search for the children. When it was discovered that the demons were abducting children the Human's prayed to their gods. The human's prayers were answered when Setharus, God of Knowledge, came to them and explained to them that the demons that were attacking their children were not very smart and that they could fool them by dressing their children up to look like demons.
So the humans did just that, they started dressing their children up to look like demons and when the demons started going into the towns they thought they won control of the towns with so many demons running around (they were in fact looking at the children dressed as demons). The real demons decided that with so many other demons in the town they would attack the adults, this of course failed and the demons were driven back. This was the first major conflict in the war of the immortals.
After the war the humans wanted to keep a reminder of this first major conflict, so they created Demon's day. A day where the children would dress up and go from home to home knocking on doors. The adults would then treat the children in remembrance of Setharus treating them with the knowledge to combat against the demons.
So that is a little brief history of one of the Holidays that exists in the world of Dracodonius. I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to leave comments to let me know what you think and as always thank you for your interest in Mageeye: The Dracodonius Chronicles.

Upcoming blog posts

So I have been doing some more work on the book. mainly getting the world more fleshed out. During my note taking and transferring of my handwritten notes to digital format, I have come across some more gems. So What I have decided is to great some blog post highlighting some of the characters and aspects of the world, gods, and a bit of history of the world I will be writing in. Stay tuned to learn more about Dracodonius the world of Gemini, Ulaborn, and Silvara.

Rewrite brings new interest

So with the rewrite of my book that I am working on it seems that a new interest has developed. The more I talk about my book the more it seems that people are wanting to know more. So with the new interest comes a new drive to get my book finished sooner. I am going to be closing at the store this week since the other assistant is on vacation and with blizzcon going on it seems that my guild is on a small break, so I am going to take this next week starting tonight when I get home from work, and devote it to getting chapter one finished. If I work at least two to three hours on it for the next 7 days that will be a total of about 21 hours.I should be able to be done with chapter one and I will post some snips of it here on this blog as well as on my Google+ account. So WoW put on hold for a week. And Chapter one coming out at the end of the week. Stay tuned to this blog to learn more, and as always thanks for following Mageeye: The Dracodonius Chronicles

Note taking time

I have been using one note to compile all the ideas and other thing concerning the book. I am trying my best to make this rewrite the best it can be. I have notes on everything from the organizations to the way magic works. I am trying to make the world come alive and be as realastic as possible. This way the reader will be engrossed into reading the book and feel like he is part of it

Rewrite yep i think so

Well after reading and editing the first three cheapters of my book looks like I am due for a complete rewrite of the book in general. As much as I am dreading it I think that my skill as a stutter has changed and I really want my book to reflect that so taking my outline and other notes I am going to start from page one and dive into it.

New phone new possibilities

Well I have had my new Android phone now for about a month. I have found it very useful and now I am a member of the google+ community. I have to say when they say “There's and app for that” they really mean it. I have found an app for everything I use concerning my writing, art, and social media. I am going to be continuing my writing and I am also continuing my gaming. Hopefully I will get to have it finished by the end of 2012. I have also gotten a job offer for working in the I.T. department at the company I work for. I am hoping that it works out, I think It would give me more time to work on my book. I just need to stayed focused and motivated on it.

New Store New Hours

Well my old store has now officially closed. Everyone gets to keep their jobs and we are being shuffled around to the other stores. I started (temporarily) at the 23rd and Penn store and will be there for the next week and a half to two weeks. Its defiantly different than what I am used to. Looks like my hours will be different for a little bit as well. With these new hours looks like my gamming might be put on hold and my writing will be able to take a front seat. This will be a nice change and possible a change for the better, we will see. But for now I am just trying to get adjusted to the new store. I should know in a week or so what my new home store will be. On the plus side I have started thinking about how I will be ending chapter three, I think it will be a different kind of shock to anyone who is following my books progress, and as always thanks for following MageEye: The Dracodonius Chronicles.

Possible Re-write

After considerable debating and thinking and talking..lol…It may look like a total re-write of Mageeye:The Dracodonius Chronicles. I am still pondering over what I have and thoroughly reading it over to see what changes need to be made. I do know I want to keep it down to at least two to three characters (Gemini, Ulaborn, and possible one more). Any Thoughts?

What is going on?

Well I have no idea..lol..I would like to work on the book some more since I have given my self till the end of this year to get it completed, but I am not sure that will be a reality since I haven’t worked on it since December of 2010. and here it is the day before march. Well I am hoping to change that. I have found that my problem is because I work 10 hours at work I am completely brain dead by the time I get home. That presents the problem of me being creative enough to write. So what do I do…I play star trek online, which requires no thought, just button pushing. So I am going to try and create myself a new schedule where I try to write at least an hour a day, hopefully more if I can get the creative juices flowing. Right now here is what my schedule looks like, and keep in mind I only get one day off a week, but my normal day to day schedule looks like this:

1:30pm leave for work

2:00pm work

12:00am leave  work

12:30am get home

12:45am get done eating

1:00am Log into star trek online

4:30am Go to bed

12:00pm wake up

12:30pm Shower and get ready for work

repeat the cycle.

Here is what I am hoping I can change, Instead of spending 1am to 4:30am playing STO I was hoping to spend say either 1am to 2am or 3:30am to 4:30 am working on the book. I am still playing with the time table right now, but the main hurdle I have to over come is not being brain dead when I get home from work. I have all these ideas in my head while I am at work but by the time I get home..they are gone. and my brain is totally taxed from work. Well wish me luck and till next time.

Saganaki

Well since my world of warcraft guild is going to be using blogger I might as well switch back to my old blogging account. So I guess I will not be using the old wordpress account but this one..so if you are a follower thanks for switching with me

Something is about to happen.

Seeing that Silvara was freed Gemini felt a small piece comes over him. This Dragon will pay.
“Ulaborn. Can you hold him off for a couple of minutes?” Gemini whispered to the Knight.
“Gladly” was the Response that Ulaborn gave the mage as the Knight rushed forward again.
Gemini started chanting the magical language, and Ulaborn now joined by Onyx and Silvara slashed at the dragon, Ulaborn having a re-born vigor that no one had seen before. His sword and shield weaving around in a pattern that seemed to counter every move the dragon made. Silvara’s dancing attack made her seem like some sort of angel of death, and Onyx just rushed in swinging his axe till it hit the dragon.
Gemini could feel the magical energies flowing into his body, and he felt the ground leave from under his feet. Looking down on his body Gemini knew he was now in the astral plane. Closing his eyes he opened them slowly and the world around him was now gone, it was replaced with a world very similar to what Gemini was used to but everything was bathed in a blue light. Then the Mage seen what he needed, and started to float towards it.

Been a while

I know its been a long time since I have done any updates concerning the Book, but I have been very distracted. I am taking this week to put some serious time back into the book and try to get myself motivated once again. So I am putting ALL of my side projects and distractions on hold for this week and see if I can get motivated once again in writ ting. So here we go. I should be putting some updates up soon. Thank you for following Mageeye: The Dracodonius Chronicles.
