Obscured By Clouds Audio

Back in 2013, I completed the novel of a game I played with Roy Cram and Chet Cox on the Outer Sanctum.

I read a help article and was told I needed to do the above.

The mp3 files are publicly stored at  https://sites.google.com/site/khaghbboommmaudiodynamite/

Pushing Water Up Hill

Proofreading!!! Who would wish it on anyone?  Well, I've 'done' 30 out of 54 chapters to date and 'done' means reading through carefully and then recording the chapter. I've never tried that before but it really helps picking up errors and pointing to where word order needs to change.

I have a great offer to Beta read and Kamea is listening to the chapters as we go, avid for more.

I've been listening to the Magician series recently; the first three books. It is fiction that uses many different characters as I have done. Coincidence but.... The switching of Point of View Character in that series is probably what has kept me listening. I think I have attempted more humour - hopefully the jokes will not fall flat.

That's Novel

A slow start blog-wise to the New Year but then I've been busy writing.

Today I finished 'Magic City Mayor", an adventure amongst the chaos that is Khaboom,  a sprawling cosmopolitan stew at the heart of the magic-rich Kraken continent. The characters kept popping up and the story wrote itself. There were far too many interested parties for this to be a book about one person - it is a book about a different world.

In true Tolkien style, it ends where it begins, back at the Sullied Trouser Inn where Halla the troll barman lets his customers get out of their skulls. Here are the chapter titles (I aimed for each to be between 1500 and 2000 words):



Chapter One – The Sullied Trouser Inn
Chapter Two – Quill Court

Chapter Four – Barroom Brawl
Chapter Five – Forensic Science

Chapter Nine – Spelling Test
Chapter Ten – The Best Laid Plans
Chapter Eleven – Table Manners
