Book 5 in the Kethem series is in final edits, and with that, finishes out the main story arc that “The Fair Elaine” started. Somewhat accidentally. I think it’s pretty obvious that the Kethem series was launched from a Dungeons and Dragons campaign; a few separate ones, actually, but all running in the same universe.
Those campaigns were story driven, with the players trying to find out the secrets of the collapse of the human empire and the origin of the story of the twelve swords of power. And they never quite made it to uncover the full history of Kethem and the other nations around the Lanotalis sea.
The books did that, finally finished stories that I thought would come out in the campaign. It’s been a multi year journey.
And now comes the hard part. Marketing. There’s a bewildering array of services and suggestions out there for how to sell your books. Time to dive in.
