It&#8217;s been exciting to think about what other projects to turn to next. I&#8217;m not short of ideas. But I decided I wanted to write something a bit different and less complex, while staying in the fantasy genre. I&#8217;ve therefore decided to go for a series of shorter, humourous novels, centred on the character of Og-Grim-Dog, a three headed ogre. I&#8217;ve finished the first draft of book one. It will need some work doing to it, but the story feels more or less there. I would also like to finish the first three to four books in advance and then release them within a short time frame of each other, rather than have readers waiting ages for the next one. I will post updates on progress when I have them.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there are two days left of my competition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Jalakh-Bow-Weapon-Takers-Saga\/dp\/B0832HP124\/\">Win all the paperbacks of The Weapon Takers Saga &#8211; enter over on KingSumo.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s it for now, I&#8217;m looking forward to 2020 and I wish you a great year ahead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a nice moment to look back and forwards at my writing plans.
