Early August News Round-Up

Well the first part of the 'Sword and the Ring' Kindle giveaway was a fine success, with a couple of hundred units shifted in three days (and a good few dozen in Germany, fittingly enough - the spiritual and mythical home of the 'Ring' Cycle!) We still have 2 days left of that promo to run so will keep you posted when we plan to run that. The artwork for this series continues to generate a good buzz on Deviantart, probably because there is already a well-defined audience for this kind of myth-based fantasy - albeit in a very idiosyncratic style.

Art and writing work on the Book 2 of this series is going well, although Book 1 will no doubt continue to be tweaked and revised as we gather more feedback. A review with Readers Favorite had been scheduled, then postponed, as I pondered whether to tone down some of the more mature content. That's still on the cards for sometime soon, though.

Morgen Bailey ran this interview with me last year, but she's now re-publishing all her author Q&As on a new blog to raise a little more awareness for folks. Be sure to check out her new pages and give her some support, won't you!

Chaz Interviewed by Marcie Turner

Recently, Chaz was featured over at Marcie Turner's To Read or Not to Read blog. The article covers writing, characters, illustration, comic books, and more. Marcie seems very open to showcasing new writers and doesn't just ask the same old set of questions to everyone - if you fancy, drop her a line. Sure she would love to hear from you.

You can read the whole Question & Answer feature here.

Chaz Talks Books with Morgen Bailey

Following on from Morgen Bailey's helpful guest post earlier, Morgen also recently hosted an extensive interview with Chaz, in which he discusses writing, books and publishing in depth on her blog.

It's a long interview but Morgen posts many of these with writers - and is always happy to hear from new people, so if you're a writer, feel free to drop her a line. Submission guidelines are clearly posted all over her site.

The full interview is right here.

Thanks to Natasha for the support!

A Chat with Rainy Kaye

Earlier this month, Rainy Kaye ran a little interview with Chaz over at her web base for world domination.

The full post is available to read, here.

As Rainy makes a good habit of helping to promote other writers and creators, I'm sure she won't mind me saying that if you're one of the above, feel free to drop her a line anytime. She doesn't bite.

Chaz Interviewed on the 'Upper Kingdom' Blog

Thanks to the readers/writers social networking site Goodreads.com, Chaz met up with writer Farida Mestek, who was seeking other authors to interview for her blog, The Upper Kingdom.

She posed some very interesting questions, and the full interview is now up on her blog, right here. There's talk about Chaz's earliest days as a writer, as well as details of Maranatha and The Wish and the Will.

Be sure to check out her other pages and interviews while you're there.
