I started writing the book shortly after a stint of unemployment, it's strange I would start writing after finding a job. It was something to do on my lunch break every day, so I started writing in a notebook. Soon it was three college ruled notebooks of handwritten story, and when I was done it was 3.5 hand written notebooks.
When I realized I was writing a book length tale, I bought a laptop (not a very expensive one) and transcribed the story over to the laptop. Funny thing is it continued to grow, tripling in word count as I entered it into the laptop. After about nine months the story was complete, so I printed it out and edited it, and then went back and expanded it even further as I was making editorial changes.
After about a year and several revisions later, it was done, and I had the story of Lyam Draken, or so I thought. While I was waiting for the proof copy from the publisher I got to thinking about it and decided it wasn't done, so picking up pen and paper again I started writing. It was kind of strange to be working on a second book, while waiting for the first one to be in stores, but I still had a story to be told.
Well now both book one and two are available, and I am starting on book three in the series, even I have to wonder where Lyam will travel and who he will meet with.
