The Candescent Vessel Delayed (slightly)

Hi Everyone,

I hope this message finds you safe and warm. It is really starting to snow good here. I’m not sure what they are calling for, but it has begun sticking to the roads and doesn’t look like its stopping anytime soon.

I am regretful to announce that I am having to delay the release of The Candescent Vessel. My delay is to aid in the effort that the released product being more highly polished than what I currently have ready for everyone. I know the original release was in just one week, but don’t worry I’m not delaying too long.

The new release date is February 29th 2016. That’s right! I hope everyone will have a happy leap day, and my second book will be releasing that day as well!

I hope everyone has a safe week, and I hope to see you all back her next week!

Keeping things going

Hey everyone!

I’ve been moved around on my work schedule, this has made it more difficult to stay on top of editing. The editing of The Candescent Vessel is still going and I still plan on getting it out on time, but I don’t have the artwork ready to show everyone this week. I can say that we are sticking to the same overall “Style” of the first book, but less blue and more Yellow… You’ll see what I mean.

Anyway, there are actually two prospective book covers I am creating.  I hope to have a (brief) voting period over which one should go on the published copy. So stay tuned for that opportunity! 😀

The Candescent Vessel Release date!

Hey Everyone!

I am excited to announce, I have a release date set for Tuesday, February 16th, 2016. The Candescent Vessel will be available on that date from online retailers, but it might take some time for all of them to have it listed. As with The Crystal Seal, I will post links to retailers once we are closer and after the release.  I hope everyone had a safe and good holiday season. See everyone soon!

The Candescent Vessel Update

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the review process is going well, and I should have it in the hands of my typo-squashing team soon (you know who you are).  We are on schedule for our release, which I will announce an official date early in January (I will announce the date in Jan. not that the release is in Jan. to be clear). I hope everyone has a happy new year, and other holidays going on (I celebrate Christmas, but I know that there are many other festive holidays going on this time of year).

This is my last post for the year, so next Monday I won’t have an update, but look for a new one in January (With a release date, I hope 😉 ). Best wishes everyone, and have yourself a safe and pleasant week!

December is Here!

Hello everyone!

I’m sorry for not getting a post in last week. I spent a lot of time traveling and visiting family last week and honestly just wasn’t able to get on here. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and are looking forward to the rest of the holidays this year!

I am hoping to get some work done on the manuscript for The Candescent Vessel this week and weekend. I hope to be able to pass on some more information to everyone soon on that progress. Thanks for stopping by 😀

Late update

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the late update. I have lots of excuses from illness to Fallout 4, but those don’t matter right now. I hope everyone has had a chance to read the Synopsis for The Candescent Vessel. I am happy to report that the first draft of the manuscript is finished. I am now taking the all important steps to ensure quality through review. This process will take some time so I ask everyone to be patient.

The Candescent Vessel Synopsis

A cry wakes Lucy on the day after her coming of age ceremony. Cyan, a childhood friend, is in trouble. He is planning on becoming a mage and the whole town now knows it. Mages are not popular in the little town of Coppervain. She helps him get part of the last magic tome, then Cyan flees town. Before Lucy can even find out where he is going, fate strikes a second time. Light magic awakens within her, and she is sent off to the eastern monastery to discover her own destiny…
That is the synopsis of The Candescent Vessel (Book 2 in The Sage of Hytrae trilogy). Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Hytrae Calendar

Hi everyone!

I am posting some information about the calendar of Hytrae today. I will put this info into the about Hytrae section as well. As noted by Cyan in The Crystal Seal, there are 470 Days in one year. Hytrae has four seasons much like our own, winter, spring, summer and autumn.  I have a image below of the calendar year in which the first two books take place.

Hytrae Calendar

Spring begins on the 19th of Zeho.

Summer begins on 40th Firean.

Autumn begins on the 20th of Seth.

Winter begins on the 40th of Ginhay, also the last day of the year.
