Salamander and Thunder from Fenris are in!
It's been a busy week for me this week, as I've been inputting the editorial changes to both Salamander and my forthcoming audio story Thunder from Fenris.
I am now very pleased to report that I've literally just finished the last of the edits for Salamander, and I'll be submitting this tomorrow morning for the next stage in the process. I'll probably (hopefully) not see it again until the proofreading stage, when I get a final check before it goes off to the printers. All exciting stuff.
As mentioned, I've also now completed the slight reworks needed on Thunder from Fenris, a brand new Space Wolf audio. At 10,000 words (ish), it was a bit easier of a beast to tame than Salamander, but a great and challenging project to work on all the same. I'm very much looking forward to hearing it acted out at the recording session in London on May 11th. It'll be weird, I'm sure, but also very cool.
I understand, Toby Longworth, who did some absoultely sterling work on James Swallow's excellent Heart of Rage (if you haven't already, go and get it - it's ace. That's if it's released yet...), so I can't wait to see what the actor will do with all those pseudo-Viking/Nordic characters. Skoll!
Next up, my editor has me working on the sequels to Salamander (books two and three in the Tome of Fire trilogy - tentatively titled Firedrake and Fireborn respectively). As I've been making copious notes on the next two books, and, as divulged at BL Live, already have the basic story arc down, this shouldn't be too arduous. I'm actually looking forward committing the character arcs to paper and sort of crystallising my note-appended thoughts in full.
Though these two novels won't be out for a long while, and I've got at least one other novel in between, it's good to establish the overall plotline early on and get it approved, so that when I'm ready to get stuck back in to the Salamanders again, I can do so without pause.
In fact, next on the list of actual writing is a short story called 'Hell Night' for Legends of the Space Marines, which features some of the heroes from Salamander and 'Fires of War'. Beyond that, I'm reluctant to speak of in any detail. Suffice it to say, there's another short and an Empire army novel.
Busy, busy, busy!

I'm actually quite looking forward to Thunder From Fenris... Best of luck with both procejts :)
That's good to hear! :-) I just wish I could say more about the audio, but it's a little top secret at the moment.
Thanks for the support.
Long time no see.
Imagine my surprise as I wander of into a book store and happen upon a copy of "Heroes of the space marines".
I pick it up with zealous fervor and rush of home and now I´m about to read the short Salamander novel in it.
I saw two characters being put in there, Argos and Pyriel and I´m so excited about finding out in it and in the following Salamander books what kind of "geological/geophysical" enviroment you have thought up for Nocturne and Prometheus and if some of the things I wrote about will be in use in one way or another.
It´ll be an awesome read and I am so looking forward to enjoying it. Maybe I´ll get back with some thought on it after reading it but anyway, it´d be a fun read (well, lets hope Pyriel doesnt die of by slipping on a banana skin or being killed by a grot hehe).
Agan, thanks Nick for an awesome upcoming reading experience!
