2014... Looks like a good year!

For a recap of notable The Sword of the Dragon occurrences in 2013:
  1. Contract signed with AMG Publishers/Living Ink Books for In Search of Dragons
  2. www.TheSwordoftheDragon.com re-built and looking sharp!
  3. Neverqueen 1 released on readers and in Paperback
What we are looking for in 2014:
  1. In Search of Dragons paperback published by AMG/Living Ink Books (hopefully in the Fall)
  2. Neverqueen 2 release in Fall/Winter
My goals:
  1. Write new fantasy novel Soul Of Ironwing
  2. Finish writing sci-fi/steampunk novel Star Train 
If there is room in my busy life after all this I hope to start the ball rolling on audio books for Swords of the Six and Neverqueen.

Merry Christmas-- What a crazy month! (and The giveaway winners!)

First off, I have yet to write a new blog post on a particular subject related to fantasy and so I want to send you over to Speculative Faith's site. I wrote a guest article for them and have enjoyed the feedback I received from it. The post is here: http://www.speculativefaith.com/2013/12/20/will-the-real-master-stand-up/

This month has been C-R-A-Z-Y
  • Neverqueen released on Amazon in print and kindle editions (Very excited about it!)
  • Christmas 31 author scavenger hunt ended
  • I moved my family down to Groton CT into a nice townhome (Which we love!)
  • My wife is due with our third baby on Christmas Eve (Hoping baby waits until next week)
If you entered the giveaway for Donita K. Paul's book or the necklace, I have announced the winners in the comments on that post. And I wish to repeat that information here as well. My apologies for this taking so long. I should have had the winners selected a couple weeks ago but with the move things have been hectic around here.

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.
