The Ever Changing World of Wolf Guard

I have reached a point with Unleashing the Underworld that I feel if I write anything further I will be delving too much into the third book. Thus I am very excited to say that Unleashing the Underworld is complete!

I am now in the editing stages of the second novel and I have come to a conclusion about the entire Wolf Guard series. I have had a vision for Wolf Guard since day one and that is that it would be a trilogy in one novel. Thus Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark, Unleashing the Underworld and the tentatively named Sacrifice will be compiled into a single novel that will be broken into three parts. This will take some re-working of the originally published Encroaching Dark by adding the remaining two novels to the already existing formatted documents.

The saga of Wolf Guard continues as I push ahead with the editing of the novels and the writing of Wolf Guard Sacrifice.

That is all the news from C.R. Paynton literary for now!

Folklore of the Forest

Shadows cast upon your face
There is magic held in the dark
As you search for the keepers of this place
Let not your fear show or your footsteps miss their mark

Branches rattle in the air
As you try to make yourself believe
That there is nothing there
But you have lost the opportunity to leave

Many stories have been told
Those who fail to see the truth of it all
Shall be lost to the creatures of old
Into their clutches you shall fall

You can not enter such a dangerous land
Without faith in magic as your guide
As the forest folk reach for you with open hand
There is nowhere to hide

Now I warn you to take heed
When walking through their home
Respect you most certainly will need
Lest you be taken by troll, wolf or gnome

Working Away

I would have to say it is One of my favorite feelings when I complete a chapter. This is especially true when a chapter flows very nicely as chapter 22 has! That is right Unleasing the Underworld is on chapter 22! It is coming together very nicely and as the second novel of the trilogy nears the end I am feeling very happy with it! The joys of rewriting and editing are just around the corner as well.

It may not be a while until Unleashing the Underworld is released but I really want to make sure it is at its best before it is released!

I have just picked up a new cd for writing which fits so well with my style! The artist is a young man from Sweden and like me he is an independent artist. His name is Adrian Von Ziegler, check him out on YouTube he has some great stuff! He and I have also discussed his music being used in the book trailers and we are both very excited about!

All the news I have for now, check back soon for more updates!

Slight Delay...

There has recently been a slight delay in my writing process as it has been brought to my attention that although I tried to be very diligent with my editing there is room for improvement. Thus Wolf Guard Encroaching Dark is being edited by a very kind reader to assist me in finding anything my eyes missed. I am very thankful for the help and it just reminds me of the importance of a second editing perspective. Thus Unleashing the Underworld may be postponed for a while pending its completion, edit by myself, edit by someone else and then the cover art.

I will keep my blog up to date with the progress of Encroaching Dark's editing as well as the release of Unleashing the Underworld!

Unleashing the Underworld

Wolf Guard Unleashing the Underworld the first draft is at Chapter 21 which means there are only another couple of Chapters to go before it is time to edit! Although I do not enjoy editing that much I know it is necessary along the path to the novels release. Thus I shall grit my teeth and push through it!

I have been in contact with Patrick Parish of COG Studios about the cover for Unleashing the Underworld which I am very excited about. I am really looking forward to working with Patrick again as I was so pleased with the work he did for Encroaching Dark.

Prior to Unleashing the Underworld's release I am hoping to find a few individuals interested in doing a review in exchange for a sneak peak of the novel. If you are interested please email me at cpaynton@gmail.com

Thank you once again for the support and coming along for the journey of the Wolf Guard
