I’m incredibly excited to reveal the first book in my brand new series, “Land of the Elementals!” The name of the first book is “Rampage”, and I’m sure that it will prove to be an exciting and thrilling read!
Rampage is a truly enormous book, and is nearly a year in the making! The total word count for Rampage is over 158,000 words (around 470 pages!), which is a truly staggering number, especially when you take into account that most first books in a series rarely go above 100,000 words.
It has really been a wild ride since I started working on this book. I’ve released five other books in the interim, and finally, this one is nearly releasing! Writing a book of this scope and magnitude was really difficult at times, but the final product is really amazing, and I’m so happy that I stuck with it until I saw it completed.
Rampage is an epic fantasy book, along the lines of “The Wheel of Time” by Robert Jordan, and “The Stormlight Archives” by Brandon Sanderson. If you want to read more about what makes something Epic Fantasy, you can check out this great article on Fantasy-Faction. The shortened version is this: Epic Fantasy takes place in world other than our own. Pretty obvious. Also, they’re long.
In Rampage, you’ll travel along with our protagonist, Arbor, who has his entire world turned upside down in one night. Fate often has a cruel way of bending us to its will, and Arbor learns this in the harshest way possible. However, he isn’t willing to take such a beating sitting down and ventures out into a dangerous world to exact his revenge.
You’ll get to meet a variety of super cool races in this book! In addition to humans, there are elves, dwarves, gremlins, and salamanders. (There might also be some others, but I won’t be spoiling anything now.) Each of the races all have unique histories and ways of living, which go far beyond their mere physical appearances.
Also, can we talk about how amazing this cover art is?! The insanely talented people over at MiblArt have really outdone themselves! I love the way that Arbor and Grak (who’s a gremlin, by the way) look, and the cover overall is super cool and atmospheric.
In fact, it’s so good, that if the book is successful, I might just print out some hardcover copies and do some signed giveaways. So it’s really in your best interests to make this book do well!
“Rampage: Land of the Elementals Book 1” releases on September 26th, so make sure to mark your calendars.
As always, if you enjoy my work, please like, comment, and share with your friends!
