1. At last, the fourth book of the Epic of Old series has been completed. Each work has been longer than the last, and this is no exception. Anyone wishing to get absorbed into this world of mine should have no trouble after this next installment. You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KVXTRPA
2. The previous three books have been updated as well. The covers have seen a seen a relatively big change. Occasional typos have been corrected, and the Appendices section of the third book has received a major update. Mainly, some of the content was removed and added to the next book while the calendar and dating system has been overhauled. Besides mentioning the lengths of the year, there are actual months now that follow a set pattern. I may update the names of the months so that the naming system makes better sense. The ending of each month followed a pattern, but the beginning was left up to me. If this gets changed, there will also be a rotating set of beginnings that work with the endings. I realize that such a change should have been implemented before the new stuff was published, but this is likely to improve the work overall.
3. Work on the next book has already been started. Originally, the contents of the current fourth book were either going to serve as the first half of the story or be sprinkled throughout as the information became relevant. However, the content of that section grew so much that it was best to separate it entirely. This means that I have a jump-start with the next book. The current material is 14 pages, and it is pretty well organized into an outline. One of the chapters is already halfway done. Part Five is currently titled "Plight of the Gods".
4. The book cover for Part Four has the created map in its black and white version, but this does not mean the map is actually complete. What I am doing is slowly converting the picture into an Excel version that will become incredibly easy to edit. It should improve future efficiency, but the time it takes is so long that it may not be worth it. Honestly, I should have worked in Excel from the start. The map has received enough updates as to look quite different to the one previously shared on the blog, so I will eventually share it once I am done.
