HobChakana.jpg Iron Dragon Series update: Book Three, The Secret Empire is coming out late this year, more details on soon. All the books in the series will be available as ebooks and will have print versions. Book three will feature an amazing cover once again by Ciruelo Cabral and there will be a total of five books in the series. This image will be the cover, except Ciruelo will be repainting the dragon to look more like Draglune, the Iron Dragon King.

Other projects have slowed this down, but I’m going to finish it this year for sure.

I’m giving the keynote address, then doing a fun writing workshop, then a book signing. You can find out all the details about the writing contest here.

GargoyleFinal666.jpg I’m editing a new series of ebooks, called The Crimson Pact. There is an open call for flash fiction (1,000 words or less), deadline Feb. 15, 2011, for volume 1, and tentatively June 1, 2011 for volume two. Here’s a link to the website where you’ll find another free story, the frame story for the anthology, written by Patrick M. Tracy and myself, called, The Failed Crusade. Read this story, then the guidelines and then write a flash fiction story. If you’re a published author, email me and you’ll probably get invited to submit a short story (3,500-15,000 words in length) for volume 2, tentative deadline, June 1, 2011.

I’ve been super busy lately with writing projects. I’ve been editing a lot of Crimson Pact stories, plus I wrote The Cost of a Tasmanian Tiger, and I sold a story called Eureka to I, Hero Magazine. Plus I’m doing research and working on Medusa’s Daughter and The Secret Empire, not to mention my full-time job as nurse in a cardiac unit at Intermountain Medical Center where I'm the chair of the Leadership and Safety committee. Most importantly, Tammy and I just had our 16 year dating anniversary. Fun times.

Your busy friend,

Paul Genesse
Author of The Dragon Hunters
