I have a new fantasy book coming up, and I’ve been working hard. I finished editing scenes, and changing out names in my new project. I can’t write and think of good names for characters at the same time, so I just name them something generic, but distinctive enough that the “find” feature will work, and keep writing. That leaves me with a group of people who need names at the end. It’s one of my final editing steps. I’m doing another read through to make sure all my edits worked. I hope to be off to the professional line edit soon! While that’s happening, I can finalize cover design, interior layout, and book descriptions. The description is, for sure, the hardest piece of writing in the whole book. Here’s some of what I have so far.
A dying prince undertakes a quest to save his father.
An outcast horseman seeks vengeance to destroy the people to whom he once swore his loyalty.
A murderous queen. A dying prince. A girl takes on the army who captured her father.
An exiled horseman makes a secret alliance with a traitor queen, bargaining with blood and betrayal to win a kingdom.
Marry the king. Murder him. The battle for vengeance is coming.
A dying prince uncovers a plot to murder his father and steal the throne. On a desperate voyage to reach the king before it can happen, he boards a ship. Spies hide among the crew. When their treachery is exposed, two of them attack him and throw him overboard to die in the ocean.
Washed up on an unfamiliar shore, he finds healing and new loyalties, but the plot is larger than he could ever have imagined. His own kingdom is not the only one in peril. The masked horsemen are already under attack. After a raid burns her village, a young woman takes on an army, determined to free her captured father.
On his way to warn his father, the prince must ally with her, even though she doesn’t want his help. Beautiful, angry and determined to stop at nothing until she succeeds, she would hate him if she knew who he really was.
