Now that Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark is Out.......Unleashing the Underworld is soon to Follow!

Hey everyone!

I am currently working hard on Wolf Guard Unleashing the Underworld which is the second novel in the Wolf Guard trilogy. With the full release of Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark it will only be a matter of time before the second novel is out but there is a problem....you have to have read the first novel to be ready for the second!

Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark is now available for all Ereaders both on Amazon.com as well as Smashwords.com. Both links can be found on the side bar of the blog under "Where to Buy". For those readers that prefer the classic print version, you can also get your copy of the novel in print from CreateSpace.com. Amazon should be carrying the print version soon as well.

Unleashing the Underworld is currently at Chapter 19! After the editing is completed and the cover design done I am hoping to release it prior to Christmas!

If anyone is interested in a signed copy of the novel just send me an email at cpaynton@gmail.com and we will work on getting a copy to you!

Release of the Print Version of Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark

I am very excited to announce that I have just approved Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark for release in print version!

You can find the novel available at the printing companies website at https://www.createspace.com/3683799
This company is an affiliate of Amazon.com and they are the ones who supply Amazon. This order would be direct from the publishing company so would be a great option for anyone looking to purchase the print version.

The novel is already available on Amazon.com as an ebook and will also be available in the print version within 5-7 business days. Thus, if someone prefers dealing with Amazon rather than the printing company directly that will be available shortly!

Once again I would like to thank everyone who has supported me throughout this entire process. It is so amazing to see everything coming together.

The second novel in the series is over half way done and I am hoping to release it before Christmas.

For now enjoy your print copy of Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark!

Print Version Modifications

I received my first copy of Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark in print version today for review! It is such an amazing feeling to be holding my very own novel in my hands!

There are a couple of things I want to adjust with the cover and the interior and thus the print release has been postponed a bit while I get those things sorted out.

It won't be long now as I am at the very final stages and just need to make some small alterations.

I was also speaking with a local store in my area and they are very interested in stocking my novels as well as possibly having me do a book signing! I am hoping to set up quite a few of these over the next while in different cities!

More good news to come!

Time for a bit of a laugh

I have just recently discovered a very funny British comedy show. One of my favourite skits from the show is titled "The surprising adventures of sir digby chicken caesar"

I can't seem to get enough of this character/these sketches.

Thought I would share them as they are quite a laugh!

Almost There

Alright...let's hope that the third time is the charm! I have resubmitted Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark for review at the printing company. The first two attempts there were minor adjusments that needed to be made to the interior and exterior layout.

The company has been really good about reviewing the novel within 24 hours so I hope that we have the all clear within a day or two!

I am getting extremely excited to finally be able to announce when Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark is available in print format.

In the meantime here is one of my favourite songs for your listening pleasure...

Print Version of Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark

The countdown has begun until the print version of Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark is made available! The fully formatted print version and the new full cover have been submitted for review to the printing company. Now, within 48 hours I will hear back if the book is ready to go into print or if it needs some revising!

I am very excited to be announcing this news as it is the final step in the publishing process for Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark.

I am hoping to get back to work on Wolf Guard Unleashing the Underworld once Encroaching Dark is fully published. The second novel of the series is still at the half way point and I am starting to fine tune the details of the third novel that has yet to be named.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have given me support along the way! As well I would like to thank Patrick Parish of COG Studios for the fantastic cover artwork! I look forward to working with Patrick and COG Studios in the future. Check out the link to his site!

I will officially announce the release of the print version as soon as I have confirmation that it is ready to be shipped!

Repo The Genetic Opera

Alright, so in the meantime while I have been far too busy with life in general and not able to get any writing done, I have been able to watch a movie or two while unpacking.

One of the movies I have watched recently is Repo The Genetic Opera...for some reason I can't get enough of it! The songs, the style and the general story/theme of the movie are fantastic. If you are looking for something very different but very interesting check it out!


In publishing news...the full print version of the cover for Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark is coming along splendidly which means that the print version should be available very soon!

I am really looking forward to announcing the release of the print version as I know I am going to enjoy getting my copy and hopefully others will too!

Back on Track

As I sit in my new house writing this I am happy to announce that after a whirlwind few days there is actually beginning to be some sort of order in my life again!

I moved into a new home and released my first novel all within a couple of days and I was feeling quite run off my feet (while working my normal job which is stressful enough). I am glad to see that the pile of boxes in my house are disappearing and things are getting organized. Marketing for Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark is underway and I am very excited to finally have the chance to write the next chapter in Wolf Guard Unleashing the Underworld later today!

Remember, Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark is now available!

Check out Smashwords for most ereading devices at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/85793 to get your copy!

Or for the Kindle go to Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005KPAGI6.

Thank you again for all of the support!

Announcing the Release of the Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark

The time has finally come! The cover of the Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark has been completed and I am so happy with it. The novel has gone through yet another edit and in my mind is ready to be published!

After so much time working towards this coming day I am so excited to finally be able to announce that the Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark is going to be released...

Saturday September 3rd, 2011



"Darkness is falling upon the Druid civilization of Cathenia, as the demon Vampire Antrocius sets out to destroy the natural world once and for all. Although the situation has become dire for the Druids, there is light to be found, even in the darkness. A hero shall rise to fulfill his role as a beacon of what is right, as the protector of the natural world...the Wolf Guard shall return."

A novel depicting the eternal battle of light versus dark as the natural world inhabitants, the Druids, face off against a demon vampire and his horde of Troll soldiers. The balance shall be tipped with the finding of the protector of the natural world, the Wolf Guard. Unfortunately, the current Wolf Guard, Rolf Lupus, who is destined to lead the Druids to victory, has no idea of his fate. Rolf must learn the ways of the new world he finds himself in while discovering his true power and gaining an understanding of what love truly means. Time is quickly running out for him to find his place in his new role while summoning his inner strength before the world is engulfed in the flames of war, and all hope fades into darkness.

The first release will be on the Kindle from Amazon and I am hoping that at the same time I will be able to have it formatted to be released on all other devices as well, including Ipad, Nook, Kobo etc.



This is a very exciting time for my publishing/writing career and I hope you can enjoy in the excitement as well!
