What’s this? Two updates in less than two months? What’s this site coming to?
For those who may not have seen it on various forums and message boards, I wanted you to know that I have another novel available. The downside is that it’s only available in PDF format. The upside is that it’s free. š
Black Crusade was originally written to be one of the first of the Ravenloft: Dominion line of novels from Wizards of the Coast. "Ravenloft" is the name of a gothic horror/fantasy setting. Although Ravenloft was created for the Dungeons and Dragons game, the Dominion line was meant to give it a new flavor–specifically, rather than drawing characters and domains from various D&D worlds, it would draw them from various periods of real-world history. In the case of Black Crusade, that period was the First Crusade.
Alas, Black Crusade was pushed back on the schedule for marketing reasons, and thus became a victim when the line was canceled. The novel was done, however, and Wizards decided to make it available in electronic format. It was initially released chapter-by-chapter as a weekly serial, but it’s now available in completed form. While I’m disappointed that it won’t see print, I’m delighted that you folks are able to see it in some form.
