B. Throwsnaill (bthrowsnaill) | 208 comments Figured I'd add a thread for Hemlock and the Wizard Tower. Description and Amazon link below:

Amazon.com link to Hemlock and the Wizard Tower
How is power gained, retained and exercised; and what happens to a power structure when a young girl with magical abilities hacks and slashes her way into the very core of its apparatus?

In a magical city that travels through multiple dimensions, a young girl named Hemlock has risen from being a lowly cutpurse to discovering that she is a powerful fighter. Under the guidance of an aging freedom fighter named Safreon, Hemlock battles to keep the peace in her run down district, while across the City the upper class Elites enjoy peace, prosperity and freedom.

The Wizard Tower looms in the center of the City, casting a long shadow over its affairs. The Wizards rule behind the scenes, dictating and controlling the use of magic. Hemlock instinctively feels that the Wizards are her enemies, but Safreon will not discuss openly opposing them, as he seeks to methodically mentor Hemlock, and advance his own cryptic plans for the City.

Hemlock makes a decision to make a bold attack on the Wizard Tower alone, convinced that she can destroy or undo whatever method the Wizards are using to control and ration magic. As the novel opens, we join Hemlock just after she has infiltrated the Wizard Tower, learning what happens through a narrative interspersed with flashbacks to events leading up to the attack.

B. Throwsnaill (bthrowsnaill) | 208 comments Rob, I have to confess that the "that" exorcism is not completely done yet, but the other edits have been made.
Scott and Jeff, thanks for the update on the beta. I just finished an epilogue that I'll send to you once I edit it over the weekend. Things end a bit abruptly in the manuscript you have.

Bill - I created a private thread on my blog where we can chat about Hemlock 2 and not give anything away to all your readers waiting for you to release it.

My blog would require you to register a username and password. Scott is already a member. I have that thread password protected. Send me an email at jmpoole (at) gmail dot com and I'll email you the password to get on. You, too, Scott. That goes for anyone else that you'd like to include, Bill.
