I have an idea for the fourth cover. I'm thinking of removing color from the map (possibly adding a filter to make it look sketched) and sticking it in a piece of paper or book that will be sitting on a table. The table will probably have a painted look. Since Part 4 is mostly notes written by one of the characters, it would be great to have a picture of the desk used to create them.
I think that is an excellent idea. :thumright:

I finally have the sections on Hlendvlask and Aglondon complete. Now I just need to finish up the segment on the various animals and then Morthanis, which will involve the last of the military forays and then hints about the story's cosmology. If I don't get super stuck, I should have the thing published next month.

I don't think so (well, not easily), but I can just send you the documents for free. However, it would be best to wait for book four to be completed. The appendices in book three are necessary to understand some of the details in the story, but parts of these are getting moved to part 4, so it would help if the books are read without much pause in between.

Well, I could probably send you the first two since the third installment goes back in time. I have had to edit them a little so that they fit the timeline I am developing, but I think I am done. Just give me your email.

I should just have a few more paragraphs now. I would have likely finished today, but I decided to work on a list of every place ever mentioned so that I can keep better track of them all.

Editing process is mostly completed. The book cover is almost done and took quite longer than I thought it would. I will be going through the publishing process tomorrow as well as republishing the previous books. Here is a sneak peek:

There have actually been slight changes again. I made the desk slightly redder to fit the lighting. I also moved the book on the left side so that it is easier to see. I also updated the cover of Part 2 so that the title has a reflection. I may do something for Part One, but I am going to finish getting these published before I worry about that.

I am trying to see in my mind's eye the changes you have made...sound good to me...even though I was enthralled with it the way it is. ;) It is you Arthur...I love it...picturing you at your desk busy creating worlds that spring to life at the touch of your pen to paper...well, in this day and age I guess it would be fingers to the keyboard, eh? Anyway it stirs my imagination and creates in me a desire to see and read more... I think it is very effective! :sunflower:
Love,
Sandy

Well, it is actually supposed to be Nezbaerth, the author of the Dream Dweller Archive, but that isn't too important.

Oh, also, Aglondon is being renamed to Aglodon. It is a little late since it was first mentioned in book 3, but I don't care. It is so much easier to say.

The new book is now live:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KVXTRPA (US)
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00KVXTRPA (Australia)

The previous books have also been updated. Reviewing the last appendix item for part 3 is necessary for reading part 4 as this goes into detail about the calendar being used.

It looks wonderful, Arthur. I will take a long look at it in a bit as I have to figure out the troubles that are occurring with downloads for my kindle . (They aren't reaching me even though they should be. ) I have been meaning to do this but have had other projects on the fire which have driven the need out of my mind.)

I must say it looks wonderful!!!!
I can't wait to have my own copy. :D
love,
Sandy

I finished reorganizing the notes for the next book. As mentioned, originally this content would be combined with what is now Part Four, so some of it is completed already. I have about 14 pages of the book complete, though I am sure there are another 50 to be done. It is titled "Plight of the Gods". So far, I am dividing the content into the following chapters:

Prologue
Chapter One: Tales of the Mountain King
Chapter Two: The Road to Exile
Chapter Three: Amid the Sundry Seafarers
Chapter Four: Uncovering the Lost
Chapter Five: Dynasty Taken
Chapter Six: The Rejection of Kingdoms

This will likely be the most action-packed story to date. It will contain the first instances of Helskor and Rhinesvelt fighting one another, and this will happen both in the Prologue and in "The Rejection of Kingdoms", which will be the occurrence of the first Day of Whispers. There are many more things planned which I wish I could include, but I will need to avoid spoilers for now.

For some odd reason, my old blog became popular. One of my random posts has over 11,300 hits, and I have no idea why. I decided to add more content to the blog, and snuck in the book links in that one post hoping to get some more readers. Oddest darn thing I have ever seen, but it hasn't given me any kind of monetary benefit. It almost seems like people are ending up there accidentally.

Feel free to give it a quick look. http://thecerebrate.blogspot.com/

The look is a bit simpler and easier for the eyes. There is nothing you need to read since the only new post has info that has already been mentioned. It is a little complicated working with two blogs because they both use different gmail accounts. Luckily I can keep both accounts active by signing in with two different browsers.

Writing has been pretty fluid. Writing dialog and describing events you have imagined beforehand is soooo much easier than what I was writing before this. I'm writing almost daily. Chapter One is mostly written already, so I may get that done tomorrow. :bana:
