I'm hoping that I can put something other than a nice friendly template from Createspace on my newest book. I personally feel that James, The Crown Prince came out much better than the first three but if I didn't think that I'd just be working backwards. While I'm waiting on my artist I've been working on my 2nd/5th book. This one is about Davie, Princess Alba's son. I explored a new emotional realm with this book and it shook me up a little. O.K., perhaps quite a bit considering there were times that my wife was begging me not to write along the lines I was following. For those who know me personally they know that I'm not known for being very emotionally stable to start with. For those who don't know me, I'm perfectly normal and all those pills I take daily are just vitamins!
The almighty 'they' say that in e-book sales there is a thirty day wall. After your book has been on the market for thirty days it crashes and dies. That is unless you have a following that keep your book noticed. I'm now past fifty-five days and my sales are still fairly strong. I'm not getting rich and selling like a top 10 book would but i'm still in the game and happy with it. Like I've said before, I'm not writing books to make money I'm doing it to tell a story and maybe entertain someone out there. When it comes to the critics and the negative comments I've decided to listen to Ricky Nelson and do what I want to do.
So that is where things stand in the world of Eredwynn. I'll post more when my artwork is ready or I get bored and need something to do. Until then *May your stars guide you*

James, The Crown Prince
Well, I have finished writing my 1st/4th book in my Wizards of Eredwynn world. It is a continuation of the Eredwynn series featuring the children of David. I've been working on getting this one right with the editor and the formatting so I won't have the problems that cropped up with my first three. I've learned a lot over the last few months that will help me along the way. I've also gone back and fixed many errors that were in the first three books. It's almost like pulling teeth to get amazon 'Kindle' to send out an auto update for the people that have already bought the book. Perhaps when I learn the ropes then dealing with them things will be even smoother.
I'll update the blog when James goes live. I'm not sure what kind of readership this little online notebook has but if there are only one or two it's worth it to me. I never started this project to make any money. I just hope that I can entertain a few for awhile. Now I'll wander back into unreality and see what I find lurking there.
Find your own Star,
Daniel
