Soul of Swords rough draft is now underway
I started writing the first draft of SOUL OF SWORDS today.
It is such an odd feeling. I’ve never finished a series before, and I can feel the weight of the last six books and twelve years (I started writing DEMONSOULED in 2001) pushing me forward. It’s like I’ve been in this roller coaster, climbing, climbing, climbing the hill…
…and, at last, we’ve crested the hill, and the car is just starting to roll forward.
Well. I fully intend to make SOUL OF SWORDS one heck of a roller coaster ride, friends and neighbors.
The book’s first sentence:
“That is impossible,” said Mazael Cravenlock, his sword hand curling into a fist.

I like the ideea that SOUL OF SWORDS will be one of the best book of the series and i am very eager to read it but i am against the end of the series mention – i want to read about Mazael in more books in the future …
I have to admit the idea of extending the series indefinitely occurred to me, but I’m afraid that would artificially extend the storyline and make the books stale. And I would like to try writing a new setting and new characters.
But I think I will return to the world of DEMONSOULED and some of the characters in the future.
