This week’s Notable and Quotable comes from Roland’s Triumph, Book III in the Heirs of Vanity Series. “I don’t know any of it,” Roland said. “But I feel that it is true.” “I do too, friend,” Eldryn said. “I guess I do too. I just hate it when you’re right about bad news.” The two friends mounted up again and began their ride. As the sun reached its peak over the land, Roland reined Road Pounder in. “We should make the jump from here,” Roland said. “It gives us maybe seven hours of daylight left. If we can’t get it done in seven hours, then we can’t get it done.”  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 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! Keep an eye out for the announcement of a winner in the audiobook giveaway of Heirs of Vanity, the boxset of Roland’s Path, Roland’s Vow, and Roland’s Triumph!  You can find an ever-growing glossary and geographic guide on our website here; www.bloodlinesreforged.com. You can also find a few spoilers such as lineage of kingdoms, the Code of the Cavalier, and so on. I need to mention The Changeling, a Short Story by J.M. Jablowski. It’s a wonderful, quick adventure into a sci/fi realm where assassins and spies use tech to carry out their clandestine missions. You can get it now for 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. We just added a new page to our website where those videos will be showcased. I’m about 17k words into Stalking Shadows, Book IV of the Lords of Order and Chaos Series. Here’s hoping you’re all surviving the Big Q and adjusting to the huge changes we’re all facing right now. We had a pretty great gaming session this last week. We’re embarking on a Spacemaster campaign set in a homebrew universe that is a combo of many popular sci/fi worlds from movies, books, and a few video games. Our party consists of a Chiss, a Wookie, a Krogan, a Salarian, a Quarian, and a Vulcan.  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. |
