Celtic Bard: Blog

As part of getting ready to set things up for having one of my books e-published in the near future, I have set up a LiveJournal.com account. This means that I am offically coming out from the shadows, so to speak. The title of the blog is The Celtic Bard and you can find me under the name J. M. F Hildebrandt.

As a gift for those of you who have been reading Enter the Darkness, I have left a snipet of something I have been working on to accompany Darkness. In future chapters of Darkness, as Alexa's life gets more compicated, some of the codes for that story will come into play. When that happens, I will likely have a history piece to post that will fall into the world (Universe, but it won't be listed with it) that I created for Enter the Darkness. It will help explain where I came from when I started writing Enter the Darkness and is written in the manner of an alternative historical prose. The reason I have not posted it yet is that it has taken a lot of research and is still not finished to my satisfaction. What is posted on LJ is merely the first section, the foundation on which I stand the entire premise of the story.

Anyway, check it out if you want and post your comments if you have any, I will be trying to keep up with it on a daily basis from now on. And thanks for everyone who has been reading and writing to me, your support, encouragement, and constructive criticism is what has gotten me to this point.

Well, for those of you who wrote me about Chapter 24 of Justice Resurrected (and those of you who checked back all weekend and were disappointed) the new chapter has been submitted. Depending on how fast the Webmaster works, it should be up later today or very early tomorrow. Those of you who read my last entry know that it is late because I had to attend to some family obligations this week and also wound up with a couple of other things that disrupted my schedule. My apologies, it was unavoidable. With luck, and no intrusions into my schedule, this week's chapter will be on time.

So, enjoy Chapter 24.

A quick word while I have two seconds. Summer has once again intruded on my schedule. Justice Resurrected has been delayed in posting because of family obligations. I am hoping to have it up this weekend, hopefully tonight. Sorry about that.

Chapter 5 of Enter the Darkness has been submitted. You should be able to get it later today or early tomorrow. I am hoping to either post the full addendum (probably titled [The/A] History of the Order) with the next chapter or following the end of Justice Resurrected, whichever occurs first.

Enjoy the new chapter in Alexa's story and look for the next one in Jonar's Friday.

I finally got around to looking at the mistake in Enter the Darkness that I wrote about a few entries ago and got a look at a map of DC and it looks as if the mistake is not as big or involved as I thought. So, that being the case, I will be able to repost Chapter 4 with that mistake corrected and Chapter 5 will be posted in the next day or two as well. The chapter is completed, I just need to complete my editing process. So look forward to that and possibly (probably sometime after the end of Justice Resurrected) an addendum to Darkness that will flesh out the story once the plot begins to thicken.
