\"Wizard<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As previously threatened, I have completed and published a novella set in the world of Zdrell. It is a short work that lets you understand just how tough being a wizard’s apprentice is in this world even if you have talent, especially if you have a low pain threshold. Wizardry is most definitely not for wimps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get a copy of this book for free when you sign up for my newsletter (https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/da5dcc14f3a0\/zdrell-list<\/a>) or if you think you already get too much email but still want to get the story it is available on Amazon for $0.99. (https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B088W5RH8X<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for all you folks impatient for the final installment in the trilogy, I really am working on it. This independent author thing is also not for wimps. I have a lot of different stuff I have to do beyond just writing the book. Everything a traditional publisher does, I have to do myself or pay someone else to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m still on track to have the first draft of Master done by the end of the year with the book itself out sometime in early 2021. I wish I could write faster. I’m trying, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for your support an patience,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
