Interview with D. William Landsborough Author of  Shadow's Advent series   Please tell me a little about your current work in progress. I quite literally just finished up the final revisions on my second book, Revelations, and sent it out to my copyeditor. It’s the sequel to my debut novel, Archangel, and the second of six books in my Shadow’s Advent series. In Archangel, the angel Uriel descends to an Earth that is now ruled by demons. It’s been ten years since the war between Heaven and Hell began, and Hell lost. After establishing a foothold in Archangel, Revelations takes place right where its predecessor ended. Uriel, his half-demon friend Shandra, and a host of other angels try to capitalize on their victory by marching an army towards the demon prince, Abaddon. The books are very much dark fantasy and Revelations in particular has a lot of action scenes. One thing I wanted to really push in Revelations, considering this is a series about angels and demons, is ques...

  Promise of Carnage and Flame is written. 27 chapters and 90K plus words. I have celebrated the completion of this this stage of the process by rewarding myself with some miniatures and recreating the battle of Vauchamps as I re-learn the Drums and Shakos Large Battles Rules. I'll post a battle report later. I don't have a cool cover completed for the new book yet, but here's this, which is completely unrelated: I've also got a couple short stories battling in my head. They will be the next items I write, and fairly soon, before I get to my stand-alone dystopian thriller novel--and then on to book 5 in the Tomahawks and Dragon Fire series--I already have about 15K words done for book 5. I'm contemplating some new beasts which will appear in the series, and I think they will also go in one of my short stories, as I will set the short story within the Tomahawks and Dragon Fire world. My newsletter should be coming out this week. If you haven't signed up yet, her...

 (Originally published 3-7-21 then censored then supposedly restored but only shows as a draft - now attempting put it back) Have I been ill? Affirmative. How ill have I been? I've been so ill that I did no writing or editing all week long. Was it the commie-rona? Could be. I've lost most of my sense of taste and all of my sense of smell, but I have refused to succumb to the insidious disease. While I've accomplished very little, apart from finally finishing a couple books  book, Ferling's Independence: The Struggle to Set America Free , as part of my research for what will be book 5 in my Tomahawks and Dragon Fire series, I did fit in a viewing of the 1950 production of Cyrano de Bergerac,  one of my favorite movies ever. I think any list of my top ten movies has to include Cyrano de Bergerac and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance . Of course there are more, but those two leap to mind. As for Ferling's book: I have nothing but unadulterated praise. In fact, I may h...
