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?
