Delays and Book News

Fri, 20 May 2011 15:15:57 -0400

I don’t know how many of you still check this news page. It’s been a while since I’ve updated both the new and the story pages.

I have received some comments wondering why I’ve not been able to post chapter updates like I had planned. The main reason is that my proofreader has been unavailable to work with me until recently, so I haven’t felt comfortable posting my new chapters until they could be properly proofread. In the mean time I have actually finished writing the text of the story and it is currently being proofed and revised.

Also I have some exciting news, Mike Elliott the illustrator who did the artwork for the story sight and all of my ads has agreed to do some chapter illustrations that will be released with the book version of Ages of Volerum, which everyone who has worked with me on the story is really excited about.

If you would like to see some more of Mike’s work you can see all of the adds he has made for Ages of Volerum on our Facebook page, as well as visiting his iStockphoto portfolio here: http://www.istockphoto.com/chuntise

Upcoming Updates

Sat, 06 Nov 2010 17:57:51 -0400

So I’ve been able to work out a regular schedule for working on writing new Ages of Volerum chapters, and you can look forward to seeing regular updates before the end of the month.

Also, we’ve been looking into the possibility of publishing the story as a book, and we are currently working on some bonus content to add for the book version. I should have more details on that about the same time we start posting new chapters.

Also if you haven’t seen it yet I recently wrote a short science fiction story for one of my classes. It’s called Anthrodore and can be found here: http://volerum.com/anthrodore

Here are a few songs I’ve been listening to while writing recently. They are actually more reminiscent of sequel idea I’ve been working on, but more on that later.

Here’s the music:

Hiatus

Moved from Main Page

While I have a handful of lovely readers, I don’t know how many of you check the news page, so I’m posting this news here.

Fall semester has started and I’m back in school along with my full-time job. This leaves me with heavy time constraints for typing and editing my story, so The Ages of Volerum will be on hiatus until next summer.

If you would like to continue to follow The Ages of Volerum after the hiatus, you can find us on Facebook and Twitter.

I also post links to the story on the fantasy Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/, so you can look for us there as well.

I would like to thank all of you for reading, and hope that you come back next summer.

Music Update

I just thought I would share the music that I listened to while writing the Siege of Laya.

Late Update

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:08:22 -0400

This week’s update will be posted later today. I had the next chapter typed up and made my own revisions, but when it came time to have it proof read we got sidetracked, and decided postpone until after work today.

While I’m posting I thought I would share some of the song selection that I listened to while writing this chapter.

Schedule

Thu, 20 May 2010 21:15:45 -0400

I’ve been working out a schedule for future updates, and for the time being I’m going to hold myself to posting a new chapter every Monday/late Sunday evening. So you can expect the next update on Monday the 24^th.

Also, like many other writers I enjoy listening to music to help set the mood while I write so from time to time I may post the music I listened to while writing and preparing the most recent chapter.

The following is some of the music I was listening to while revising chapter 2.

As you have probably seen the prologue is up, and for now I’m going to be working on posting every week. I’m still working out a set day for it though. The next update will be up no later than Thursday the 13^th.

Coming this Week

Thu, 06 May 2010 13:02:00 -0400

The first chapter of the story will be posted by the end of the week. I’m still working out a posting schedule. It looks like we may be posting weekly, or at the very least we will be posting biweekly.

Also the site is still in the process of adding some basic functionality and content which you should see come online in the next few weeks.

Coming Soon

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:06:00 -0500

This site is currently under construction in preparation for prose story called The Wands: The End of the Second Age. We expect to start posting the story this summer on a biweekly basis.
