We've completely rewritten the book. The plot (which was epic, no matter who we asked) is still the same, but we've been practicing our writing style, and parts are different. More than things being changed, it's just plain better written; and we're pretty proud of that.
We took the prelude to the pilot and we rewrote it. Then, we edited it. Then, we made alterations and found any loop holes and errors in story and plot. Then, we edited it again. We put a lot more time, effort, and love into this book, and I can say with certainty it's good.
Genre: Historical fiction romantic fantasy. Might seem long, but it's shorter than the pilot was--which was scattered at best. It still sets you up for the sci-fi/post apocalyptic genre that resounds in later books, but it is a stand alone book.
I can honestly say that this series makes me proud now. My mother's not a reader. She actively complained about the pilot being 'too wordy'. ...Well, she says this one's words, too; but it's less so, and she likes the story. As my mother has never been one to kiss my butt just because I'm her kid, I take this as a personal win. :D She's on the edge of her seat as I read her Book Two, but more on that at a later date. :P
In print as of May 15th, this series WILL keep you interested. You WILL have issues putting it down. And anyone who can take a picture of themselves holding their copy of the pilot can get their copy of 'To make a hero' at half price! Better hurry and get yours today at www.talesofatonement.webs.com ; there are only 80 copies left of this limited edition pilot!
And as always, here are some sneak peeks at a few of the images you'll find within the book:
