Halcyon Days: The Colossus is coming May 27th. Pre-Orders coming soon!
Hi!
To those that don't know me:
I guess I should start with an intro. I write fantasy adventures with a sci-fi bent, and characters that react somewhat logically. I want you to enjoy the story above all, and I want my characters to feel like they’re making real choices, not just moving the plot forward. I am personally littered with misspellings, grammar mistakes, and questionable syntax. I also love oxford commas. I know, I don't make sense to me either.
If that sounds like your jam, then put it on this sandwich, we have a picnic to attend.
To everyone who I know and love:
Thank you so much for reading my story! Ah, this is crazy. I’ve been writing my whole life. Got my start on the mean streets of AIM chats, and now it’s all Outlook emails so putting together a novel feels surreal. I don’t even know where to start, except to say this book wouldn’t exist without the people in my life.
My wife, my son, our dog, my parents, and my brothers and their families. As well as my wife’s family, they support me by supporting my wife every day. This book has a legion of authors even though I’m the one (unfortunately) holding the pen.
I’ve been thinking about this story for 20 years. It changed, evolved, and refused to let me go. I actually had a girlfriend use it against me during a breakup speech. I’ve taken many cracks at putting it on paper over that time, just for my own sanity, but none of them made it past Act 1.
Last Christmas, I took a long drive halfway across the US and back again. I had a lot of time to talk to the dog, my co-pilot, and he helped me rearrange the beats that cracked the story wide open. What I’m saying is that dogs are the best. My wife and son are the best-best, but our dog is like right there.
Last, but not least, thank you reader for supporting my work. I wrote this so it could be read, and I know it’s not perfect, but I hope you find something to love about it like I did.
-Love
A.C. Bishkey
