| This week’s Notable and Quotable from the Bloodlines Reforged Saga.This week’s Notable and Quotable comes from Bloom of Blood and Bone, Book II of the Lords of Order & Chaos Series. – Silas stirred to the low whistling of wind passing through a nearby chimney… no, chimneys. He looked around but could not see them. He listened for several long moments noting changes in pitch and tone and timed those with the slight changes in the speed and direction of the mountaintop wind gusts. He decided there must be a network of chimneys and tunnels that, when the north wind blew, played music much like an elaborate flute. He thought it a shame the way lives were squandered for petty advantages and pursuits of vanity. There was so much beauty hidden in such variety throughout the world. Yet so many were obsessed with their own little corners and pockets of society. Those were his thoughts as lay on his stomach and he ran his hand into the dark and cool depths under a rocky shelf. Presently the mountain snake struck, driving its fangs deep into the flesh between Silas’s thumb and king finger. Silas smiled.  I hope this week’s newsletter finds you all well. If you’re looking for a starter into the Bloodlines Reforged Saga, Fires that Forge and/or Roland’s Path are the starting blocks. The complete first trilogies of both are available on Amazon and can be found here; Heirs of Vanity and Lords of Order & Chaos. We have at least two more series planned (Orphan’s Blade and Templar’s Rebellion) that will go into the over all Saga. Each series is set up to stand alone, but you find a deeper understanding of all the characters involved if you read all the series. Please consider leaving us a review on Amazon. Thanks!  I also need to let you know about CurseBreaker of the Dark Legends Series by Jaclyn Roche. A Fated Mates, Insta-Love, compelling dark fantasy that fans of Sarah J. Maas Assassin’s Blade novellas will love.   We’re also participating in the All Genre Clean Giveaway. You can find in all here, thriller, sci/fi, fantasy, mystery, and it’s all ‘clean.’ FREE downloads for those of you who wish to avoid rough language or are perhaps looking for something for that younger member of your household. On the home front, we’re going to begin creating a few videos of me reading segments of Roland’s Path and Fires that Forge which can be found on our Facebook page here; Facebook Bloodlines. I’ve also begun work in earnest on Stalking Shadows, Book IV of the Lords of Order and Chaos Series. Thank you to everyone that has emailed and messaged their well-wishes in regard to my procedure this week. For those of you who didn’t know, I had heart surgery earlier this week which has slowed me down some. Incidentally, if you’re ever offered a ‘straight cath’, ask a lot of questions before just agreeing to the idea. I can take that off my bucket list now. However, recovery is going well and I’m getting plenty of time to work on future books.  Here’s hoping you’re all surviving the Big Q and adjusting to the huge changes we’re all facing right now. Let me know how you’re doing. Feel free to drop me a line at rj@bloodlinesreforged.com with word of how you’re doing, questions about our tales, or comments about the story. Until next time, ‘Crush your Enemies!’ R.J.Check us out on Amazon |
