The “Dark Captives” novel (working title: Reylian Orb) is out now at Renaissance E-Books!

This story explains what happened to Alex to drive her to Arcadia, as well as the mysterious “Reylian Orb” incident, the first meeting between Alex and Jeron and the daring escape from the Zenon that threw Alex and Gaston into each other’s arms.

And that’s not even a spoiler!

Please check this novel out and let me know what you think.  I think you’ll love it, if you loved Peacekeeper and the Misadventures series, “Dark Captives” is a dark, intense blending of both styles of stories and I think it’s the best I’ve written so far.

The cover is, of course, by me as well.

Good risings!

“Dark Captives” (the actual title of the book we’ve been calling Reylian Orb) will be released in the early part of June, so that’s within the next couple of weeks here.

Once I get a firm release date, I will post it, but I’m looking forward to the new book being finally available to those of you who have been paitently waiting for it.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it!

The Reylian Orb is finally complete and has been sent to the publisher.

My next plans are to get Peacekeeper back out and design a cover for Reylian Orb, hopefully getting those done really soon here.

When I get more news on when it will be available, I’ll post.

I can’t tell you how much of a relief it was to finally put the finishing touches on the manuscript and send it off this afternoon. I love this story, it’s the best one I’ve done to date and I think you’ll love it as much as I do. It’s exciting, dramatic and very, very hot.

If anyone wants to know what it’s about and you don’t have Peacekeeper, let me know and I just might post another little teaser.

Good risings,
Tabbi

I’ve started a newsletter!

This newsletter will have much more information than in the blog and details on things readers in specific might find interesting and useful, such as information about the upcoming revision of Peacekeeper.

I’m hoping to add serialized short stories, fun facts about Diranda and other stories, news and reader contributions.

I plan to release every 2 weeks for now.  If anyone would like to suggest content or want to help out with producing the newsletter, please let me know!

I don’t know where else to turn.  I understand that you have been able to find things no one else has been able to and although I and my colleagues have been dismissive of your profession in the past, we find ourselves desperate and humbly ask for your help.

My deplorable  pride has gotten the better of me and allowed me to fall for the false promises of a truly unscrupulous and evil man.  He hired us to find a particular Artifact, one that had been rumored a myth, impossible to find.  However, I, in my blind pride, assured him that my team could find anything, even this Reylian Orb of which he was so desirous.

I was wrong.

Now, half of my team is dead.  The other half are so exhausted they may welcome death if they are pushed any further.  And our employer gives us no respite.  If we do not produce the Reylian Orb by the time he arrives, he will feed us to the Rysusi, of that I am certain.
Please, Miss T’Kayn, I ask–no, I beg of you–please help us.  If not for me, for my team, who never deserved this.

Hello everyone,

After some rather rocky last few months, I’m getting back to work and am looking at some big changes in 2011.

The Reylian Orb is finally looking like it’s close to done, and should be out pretty soon.  When I have a more definite release date, I’ll let you know.

I’m moving this month and am returning to full-time writing and art so there will be quite a bit more new fiction, covers and articles coming out very soon!

Since I’m going freelance, I am also planning on offering professional editing services for writers, cover art design and other consulting services.  I’ll have a page up on that soon, so if you’re a writer or a publisher in need of an outside contractor for editing or cover art, please let me know.

The convention schedule is pretty open at this time, but I have tentative plans to attend both the annual SF/Fantasy conventions held in Phoenix (Leprecon and Coppercon) as I have in past years.  I am looking at the possibility of attending other nearby conventions depending on finances and my physical ability (I am still walking with a cane).

I am working on plans for future books and series right now, including more Dirandan Chronicles.  The next release after Reylian Orb will pick up where Peacekeeper left off.

Peacekeeper, which you will notice, is not currently available for purchase (if you do find a copy available, it’s either a distributor of Renaissance or eXtasy who hasn’t removed the book from their shelves when they were told to.  If you can, please send me a note with the name of the distributor/catalog, the URL and which title the book is currently being sold under and I will let the publisher know about it).

There is a long and rather interesting story about the release and re-release of this book which I might post sometime just for clarification and interest purposes.   However, the end of it pretty much is that I took the book out of production last year.  I planned to do a rewrite of the book, particularly the ending, which I never liked.  So the book currently exists in huge chunks on my hard-drive and has been in the re-write process for about a year, while I have been writing Reylian Orb and working, which has drawn the re-write process out.  The revised edition WILL be available this year and my plan is to have it back out and available this Spring.  I don’t know who will be publishing it at this time, although Renaissance was willing to release the revision when I discussed it with them last year.  It will have new cover art and possibly a new title, but I will make sure that you don’t accidentally buy the same book again (and plan to do something for those of you who bought the original and want the new and improved ending!)

Well folks, this is the new home for Tabitha Bradley’s website, which like Diranda.com, is now a blog, among other things.
