Endings and Beginnings

So before my father’s death, he was in the process of working with a publisher to get his latest novel published. They were in the middle of editing. Now that he is gone, it’s up to me to make sure that the editing process is complete and that the novel gets published. This is the biggest hurdle. Getting the first novel published. As a writer, once your first novel is published it is both easier and harder to get more published. With your first book being published, you have proven that your work is worthy of publication and theoretically, it should be easier to get the next book published. That is unless more is expected of you.

As a child inheriting her father’s work all I know is that I can look at his work and possibly improve what I can so that it can be published. I am of the belief that you can fix most stories and make them publishable, even if it comes down to rewriting the story from the ground up.

To speak of Ardan the Grim is to speak of many things. One must tell of how he was the last in a line of men who had stood for far Tharid. A line descended from Ardan the Fair, who left Asbaln that there should be no quarrels with his brother, Randell of Avantir. Both of them being sons of the famous Guardian of the Sword of Avantir, Rorick. Wyrta the seer spoke to him in these words: "In the twentieth year, on spring's first day, seek a path to the West away. Go to the land of the Silver Hair, for thy fate does await thee there." Years after Rorick and Conel rode forth to free the land of Asbaln from the barbaric tribes, comes one man who will ride forth to save the kingdom and he will wear... The Crystal Crown.
