Draconis Memoria Info & New Writing Craft Articles
For anyone interested in the wider world of The Draconis Memoria I’ve uploaded a Chronology of the Corporate Age, which covers the 2oo years prior to the events in The Waking Fire, a Dramatis Personae (in case you’ve forgotten who the characters are), and a guide to the Principal Corporations.
Also, for any aspiring writers I’ve also written a couple of writing craft articles:
‘Writing and Naming Fantasy Characters’ on Barnes and Noble.
‘Inspiration for Fantasy Authors’ on the Civilian Reader.
Finally, Australian readers wondering why The Legion of Flame ebook was priced at $49.99 will be pleased to note that this appears to have been the result of a software glitch and the price has now been corrected to $16.99.
