| This week’s Notable and Quotable from the Bloodlines Reforged Saga. |
| This week’s Notable and Quotable comes from Roland’s Triumph. This is short, but, in context, communicates a great deal. “Tribe,” was all Kodii had to say. I hope this week’s newsletter finds you all well. It’s a bit early to announce it, but we will be giving away ebooks of Roland’s Path, Book I of the Heirs of Vanity Series, for one day and one day only on Friday, July 31st. Plan accordingly.  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 will find a deeper understanding of all the characters involved if you read all the series. Please consider leaving us a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. Thanks! I also need to let you know about Queen of the Unicorns. Here’s what Amazon had to say, “You all know the story of Rumpelstiltskin, but did you ever wonder what happened after the fairytale ending? Well we know. Not all afters end up happily, sometimes the real adventure starts much later… Vale hasn’t been the same for Princess Eliana since her husband passed away. Now, left grieving and pregnant, she finds solace in the peaceful meadows surrounding her castle, taking comfort in the presence of the wild unicorns who make the meadow their home.”  We’re also participating in the Summer Reading Sci/Fi & Fantasy Giveaway. There are a number of great reads to pick from and they’re all FREE! 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. For those who have asked, I saw my doctor Friday for my six week follow-up after surgery and was given permission to begin my regular routine as long as I exercised “patience and moderation.” According to some, but I don’t think my wife and kids know what they’re talking about, I’m not too good at either. However, so far so good.  Here’s hoping you’re all surviving the Big Q and adjusting to the huge changes we’re all facing right now. In these hot days of summer, I like to think about Halloween. You read that correctly, Halloween. It’s a big deal in our household and we usually throw a huge bash. Here’s a picture of me and the kiddos (who are ‘adults’ 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 or the world of Stratvs. If you enjoy our brand of ‘humor’ or just want more frequent updates, you can follow us on Facebook here; Roland’s Quest! Until next time, ‘Crush your Enemies!’ R.J. |
