Hi, everyone! Just a quick update on the Dark Mage Series. After finishing and publishing Magician’s War, I went through a move from Huntsville, AL, to Cold Spring, KY. Whew! After living in the same home for 27 years, it’s incredible how much stuff you can accumulate. Anyway, getting that house ready to sell and all the work required on my new home meant putting writing on hold for several months. I’m back at it now, though.
Rather than start on Book 6 of the Dark Mage Series, I decided to do a prequel to Magician’s Heir (Book 1). Why? There seems to be a lot of curiosity out there about Max Hendricks. Who is he? Why did he send Adam Gray to Tantris to fight against the Dark Mage? If he’s truly the famous mage of legend, Makzendrix, why didn’t he return to Tantris himself? This book will answer all those questions and more.
I’ve tentatively titled the book, “Magician’s Beginning” and it’ll be Book 0 of the Dark Mage Series. When completed, I plan to offer it free of charge to those who join the Dark Mage Reader’s list. Don’t worry, though. If you join before the book is published, I’ll make sure you get a copy.
In the meantime, I’d love to hear from you. On those days when the writing’s not going so well, it always brightens my day and gives me a charge of enthusiasm to hear from fans. Drop me an email at: dbrucecotton@dbrucecotton.com
