Fantasy Novel has Arrived!

IT ARRIVED: the first "Swords of the Six" physical copy (or, rather the proof). It looks amazing. The layout worked excellent, the artwork dresses it beautifully, and now I have to look through it, make certain the printer didn't make any errors, then I'll approve it, and make it available to the public!
Pre-orders will get the novel first. So if you want to get in on the fun, send me an email and I'll send you an order form.

Proof Ordered!

The order is in for the first physical-copy of Swords of the Six. The proof will soon arrive! When it does I'll have to post a picture here. Pending my approval of the proof, 1500 copies will then ship to me and the book will be up for sale at last!

Novel Pre-publication Events

I had a very successful event at the Canterbury Public Library. Met a few more fans and sold bookmarks, and posters. This was the first event at which I made pre-order for the novel available to attendees. We pulled in a nice handful of orders.

The Reminder recently had an article on me. It was well-written, researched, and had only one error: I did not attend Eastern Connecticut State University... I took an online course through a school abbreviated ECSU! Anyways, you can see the article here: http://www.remindernews.com/node/7/&url=BROADN-2009-02-20-11-Ar01100

Soon I will have over a thousand copies of my novel on-hand. Everything is falling into place in a timely manner. The manuscript is now typeset . . . and Print-Ready!

Creation Undefiled

Depths of space
Above me unreachable

Sparkling pure light
Multi-colored stars
A longing deep and unfulfillable

A desire to go to other worlds
(even if no life there is)
Rages in my soul

If only barren and hostile
The trip I desire; unattainable
A tour of the universe

Celestial wonders unique
Untamed and untouched
By hand of man

The heavenly bodies
Last touched by Creator God
They are undefiled

Try an original Tongue Twister

As my brother and I were chatting tonight, we started fooling around with tongue twisters. Just try to say this ten times fast: People's pimple peepers papers

WELCOME TO THE WRITING SITE OF SCOTT APPLETON

"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." -Proverbs 16:24

In a world where morality is forsaken and Christ neglected, wholesome books are uncommon. The themes of my writing are love, self-sacrifice, and honor.

I see my generation turning from God to the gods of this world. I see homes torn apart in the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. Children are murdered by the millions every year . . . without ever seeing the world outside their mothers' wombs. Through fiction I strive to encourage those who are willing, to stand against these things and be heroes and heroines; chivalrous, gentle, full of righteous indignation, and the fear and love of their Creator.
