Timelost Storyteller: September Newsletter

Admin/ September 9, 2018/ Newsletters

Hello Readers, Fans, Dark Fantasy Enthusiasts, and Very Brave Souls! This is the September Edition of my newsletter.

I worked for a political campaign all of August. Notably Philip Levine for Governor.  While he did not win, I think the Democratic Nomination of Andrew Gillum has the potential for great things in Florida should he be elected.  I will be shifting back to fiction writing again.  I also intend to make up for the lack of content this last month with increased articles.  I attended Anime Day 2018 in Orlando earlier this week to help get the creative juices flowing again.

Dark Fantasy is in contrast to High Fantasy, the more stereotypical flavor of this genre. In High Fantasy, Magic is a wonderful thing taught to wizards safely in schools made for this purpose.  Society may suffer conflict, but minus the drive in the story, the world tends to be a fairly stable place. In Dark Fantasy the Magic is dangerous if not worse, society is crumbling assuming its not already at a dystopian state, and there is a general sense of despair and hopelessness that fills the world showcased in the medium.

Because I continue to be asked what Dark Fantasy is exactly and as a result of me deeming the paragraph above to be a strong explanation, I have elected to continue leaving this in the newsletter.

Happening in September
The End of Utopia, Book 1 in the Search for Eden Series is nearly complete.  Edits continue on the next book in the Search for Eden Series.

I continue to have articles published on Odyssey Online.  I have gotten the chance to expand on different topics and whatnot.

I will be working nightly on completing the next book in the Search For Eden Series: The Messiah of Nightmares. My hope is to get The End of Utopia and its sequel novel published in rapid succession.
