Corruption of Nine




For those of you who didn't know, I'm writing a book.  It is called Corruption of Nine and I have no intentions of publishing it.  Ever.  Now that I've gotten rid of the Tolkien Society guys, I'll tell you about it.  It is set in Middle-Earth, before the Ringwraiths became that way.  It talks briefly about their way of life, then goes into them getting the rings and their reactions to them.  There will be twelve chapters in all.  There will be a Prologue sort of chapter, then one chapter for each of the wraiths, then an Epilogue.  I admit I have taken some license with making stuff up, but where's the fun in writing if you just make stuff up?  Once all the chapters are written and edited, I'll put them on a different blog, where you can read them.  I also have an idea of my next book.  Those of you who were wondering, I've sort of scrapped the Second Age idea, or at least put it up on a shelf.  My next book will most likely be a historical fiction.  I'm considering my options but am thinking of one set in England, called Lindisfarne and based on the Viking raid on that monastery.  Other choices would be the Battle of Lake Peipus, fought on a frozen lake, where the Novgorodian Russians routed the Teutonic Knights.  I would call this one.... Red Ice.  In all probability, I'll do them both, just at separate times.  E-mail me if you have a good idea for a historical fiction book!

Evan-

Have you read anything by Stephen Lawhead? He writes a lot of historical fiction that I really enjoy. Also, some fantasy.

Yes I have! I like his books very much, and own lots of them. My favorites are the King Raven series and Song of Albion.
