A Thirst for Vengeance, volume 2 coming June 10 2014
Shit guys, I'm sorry to say that I've had to delay the book.
I was right on track in terms of word count... but the story ended up taking longer to conclude than I anticipated. Meaning, Vengeance 2 is a whole lot longer than Vengeance 1.
I've been reading the reviews and I know you've been asking for a meatier book. I thought I could finish it in time for May 28th, but that's no longer the case. Right now, the worst-case release date is set to June 10th, 2014.
(Worst-case meaning that June 10th is the absolute latest, latest I will release the book. If everything goes really, really well, I might even make the previous deadline and finish it by May 28th. But I'm not holding my breath. I need an extra week for edits.)
(also.. June 10th is an awesome day to release the book because that's the start of E3. I'll be able to publish and then relax for three days watching the expo. I know I've got at least a few video game fans as readers...)
So anyone who's marked their calendar... you're going to have to adjust that mark. The upside is that you get a longer book in the end. There'll be more of Dagan's story there. And, the wait for the sequels won't take anywhere near as long as from Vengeance 1 to Vengeance 2. I'm estimating a month and a half, two months (max) between books. Maybe less. We'll see. I'll try to do less.
ALSO! The sequel to A Thirst for Vengeance is simply going to be called.. A Thirst for Vengeance, Volume 2. Easy, right? I'm going to get rid of the whole "Ashes Saga" bit. Or maybe I'll keep it, but "The Ashes Saga" will refer to stories set in the world that I'm building, while A Thirst for Vengeance books will be Dagan's story.
Anyway. The cover is done and looks freaking sick. I can't wait for you to see it. My artist did a masterful job.
Lastly.. after I published A Thirst for Vengeance, Volume 2, I'll update this entire site. It'll move over to Blogger, I'll get some real information on the pages, and use the blog more frequently. It'll be great. I'm excited.
Cheers,
Edward M.

No worries on the delay as far as I'm concerned. I am going to try and start the first book this weekend and that way I won't have as long as a wait for the next installment. I'm totally impressed with your estimated two months per book! I'm curious how much you plan ahead as far as plot and world detail. The narrative style that everyone has commented on definitely leaves room to be spontaneous, moreso than traditional epic fantasy. Anyway, best of luck with the editing phase! (Your cover for volume one is beautiful. Anxious to see the one for volume two!)
