UPCOMING
PROJECTS FOR FANTASYFIC
Battle
Cleric 2- anticipated ready date - late Spring or early Summer 2011 This is my novel for NaNoWriMo 2008 and is very exciting to me. It is
the sequel to Battle Cleric: The Lost Scroll of the Gods, my 2007 Nano
novel, and tells the story of how Emerald and her band of adventures complete
the quest, find the rare green sea rose required to invoke the spell contained
in the Lost Scroll of the Gods. It remains to be seen whether this is to the
detriment or benefit of the inhabitants of the world of Athero. If Emerald
invokes the spell, will she be required to sacrifice a good portion of her
life? Will the spell save the planet from being overrun by the maligns anyhow?
All the questions posed in the first book will be revealed and answered in
the second, including what happens to the shade of Bronzearm Shemara and if
he is reunited with Emerald after all.
Battle
Cleric: The Lost Scroll of the Gods- anticipated ready date - late Spring or early Summer 2011 This story was my 2007 NaNoWriMo winner and concerns the lovely Emerald,
renowned Shemaran battle cleric and the devastating challenge she faces when
a long lost scroll containing the most powerful spell ever in existence surfaces.
When pronounced by a cleric experienced in battle for many seasons, the spell
will resurrect anyone, no matter how long dead they have been. The ramifications
are staggering, especially if the Scroll falls into the hands of the maligns
of Athero, specifically the Kor Brethren. The tale involves the intrigues
of a half-elf rogue, the scorn of the Shemaran Council against Emerald's supposed
mishandling of Temple funds, a traitor in the midst, and a longdead lover
whose absence tempts her to use the Scroll for personal gain. (more...)

ANNOUNCEMENT
- Nov. 30, 2008:
Oh, exciting times. We have five confirmed winners,
in order of finishing--Kallysti, Sarekai, Raya, Bayn, and Caranfinand--all
with over 50,000 words of a novel (and Cara with 75 pages of a play) well
before tonight's midnight deadline. Wychwethl went along with us for a while,
but had to pull back due to school projects that wouldn't wait. Zeiram and
Lenore are still writing.. Congratulations to EVERYONE who at least tried.
You are, in our opinion, winners as well. As NaNoWriMo 2008 winds down, we
get ready to finish our books. Just because some of us hit 50K words doesn't
mean the novels are finished--oh no, no! None of us who has finished the quota
has finished our novel. But from the excerpts we posted in the forum, I can
tell you that the books will be bestsellers, mark my words. All I can say
is, join our forum, become a Star Member, and take a peek.

ANNOUNCEMENT
- Nov. 4, 2008: Welp,
it's that time of year again. Yup, the NaNoWriMos are out in full force and
the FantasyFic crew is no exception. We have no less than seven members tossing
their writing hat in the Nano ring and rising to the challenge of attempting
to write 50,000 words of a brand new novel between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30, 2008.
The one exception is our playwright entry--Caranfinand (CrazyForTrying) needs
to write 75 uniquely formatted pages of a brand new play. The novelists are
(in alphabetical order): Bayn, Kallysti, Lenore (Cabbott), Raya, Sarekai,
Wychwethl (Wych), and Zeiram. Yayy for us and let's keep on plugging. In addition
to our furious Nano writing, we are having a blast in our private Nano forum
at FantasyFic, challenging, encouraging, and teasing each other, ultimately
inspiring ourselves to reach new heights. The excerpts posted are nothing
short of fantastic. I can't believe it's not real bestseller material.
ANNOUNCEMENT
- Oct. 26, 2008: I
was surprised and delighted to find out that I have won another award for
Witchcanery from the editors at iUniverse...this time the "Rising
Star" Award. The iUniverse editors award this designation to anyone they
feel has a solidly good book that meets all the criteria they consider necessary
for a successful, well-written book. Watch for the second edition of Witchcanery
coming out in the next month or so.
ANNOUNCEMENT
- June 16, 2008: Because of various benefits, the
Witchcanery team decided to produce a second edtion of the book. This
one is being published by Chapters publishing partner, iUniverse.
Basically, I planned to submit the same text in a new design, using the same
beautiful artwork of Karen
Sweetland. I dutifully submitted my manuscript and was astonished to find
out I won the Editor's Choice Award given by iUniverse to books they feel
are extraordinarily good and destined to sell many copies. At first, I thought,
oh they probably give that award to nearly everyone who submits. I was gently
corrected on that score. Only
6 to 11% of all manuscripts submitted ever win that award, and out of those,
less than 1% win it right off the bat. Usually they win it subject to making
corrections suggested by the iUniverse editorial evaluator. I apparently won
it right off the bat. I was very excited.
The second edition will be coming out this summer at a cost of $16-$18. At
that time, I will retire the first edition, which will be available as a limited
first edition at around $25-$30. It will be autographed and numbered. Therefore,
if you want a first edition copy, now would be the time to buy it.
ANNOUNCEMENT
- Apr. 14, 2008: So many things have happened. Where
to begin? The Esterhazy Lions Trade Show in the middle of November, 2007,
was a big success, and the Gaeia T-shirts were very well received. The book
signing in Calgary in December, 2007, at Chapters Spectrum went very well...the
most copies snapped up yet, with people browsing the first page and the back
cover and then making me promise to write a sequel.
I've
been busy too as a freelance news reporter for Esterhazy's local weekly, The
Miner-Journal. One of my articles was about Duladian with a picture
of him in full uniform.
I
have also been hard at work on my Nano novel, Battle Cleric: The Lost Scroll
of the Gods. It is a wonderful fantasy story of love, war, betrayal as
seen through the eyes of Emerald, a veteran battle cleric.
I've
also been pulled back, by popular request, to my activities as an instructor
and consultant with ALC Canada. As we speak, I am leading a group of people
who are interested in self-discovery right here in Esterhazy. What does this
have to do with writing, you might ask? Well, it was an ALC course, Speaking
and Writing by Guidance, that helped launch me into successful (and saleable)
fiction and non-fiction. By the way, ALC stands for Americana Leadership College
and is one of the entities founded by Dr. Francisco Coll, along with Inner
Peace Movement (IPM), Astro-Soul, Peace Community Church, and Growing Executives
of Tomorrow. Ask me about my adventures with IPM back in the '70s and '80s
sometime.
I
finished teaching an eight-week basics writing course for young teens in March
and will be starting a course for adults in May. That is quite exciting. Two
teens finished the course and produced the most amazing short stories. Oddly
enough, they were both fantasy stories, although that was not a requirement.
One of them was by one of our own FF Star Members, pandaktty. I will see if
I can get permission from the girls to publish the stories in our Star Member
section of the forum.
ANNOUNCEMENT
- Nov. 1, 2007: Lots of things have happened. FantasyFic
headquarters have moved to beautiful, bucolic Esterhazy, Saskatchewan. Witchcanery
has gone through three successful book signings at Chapters in Calgary, and
sales did well at both Chapters Spectrum (Sunridge Mall) and Chapters Chinook.
Book signings will also be going on at the Esterhazy Lions Trade Show, Nov.
16 and 17, 2007. Online sales are good, and the consensus coming back is that
Witchcanery is just a darned good read! Also big news is the fact that
eight FantasyFic'ers (Kallysti, Wychwethl, Duladian, Lenore, Sarekai, Stonestorm,
Orchid Pacer, and me) have joined the 2007
NaNoWriMo challenge are are involved in writing a 50K word novel in 30
days - during the month of November, as a matter of fact. If you want that
kind of challenge (and it's free), join us on the forum as we talk about it.
If you do join the challenge (at www.nanowrimo.org), let us know and we will
give you access to our special NaNo forum. A note of interest - my NaNo entry
will be a novel based on my short story "Battle Cleric," which is
available to Star Members for free reading.
Birth
of a Unicorn and Other Stories - An Anthology by FantasyFic Writers, Edited
by Sandra Bell Kirchman - anticipated
ready date - Christmas 2009 or early 2010
This book will be a collection of short fantasy stories by the FantasyFic
writers. The whole thing is open for submissions by members of the forum who
have signed up for the anthology right now, up until August, 2008. Editing,
cover art and subsequently layout will begin in September, with a finish date
of late November and publication in early December. At least, that's the plan.
The writers lining up have great fantasy writing skills as evinced by their
contributions to the CTS (continue the story) we are writing in the forum.
I can hardly wait to see the finished result.
Battle
Cleric 2- anticipated ready date - Spring or early Summer 2010 This is my novel for NaNoWriMo 2008 and is very exciting to me. It is
the sequel to Battle Cleric: The Lost Scroll of the Gods, my 2007 Nano
novel, and tells the story of how Emerald and her band of adventures complete
the quest, find the rare green sea rose required to invoke the spell contained

detriment or benefit of the inhabitants of the world of Athero. If Emerald
invokes the spell, will she be required to sacrifice a good portion of her
life? Will the spell save the planet from being overrun by the maligns anyhow?
All the questions posed in the first book will be revealed and answered in
the second, including what happens to the shade of Bronzearm Shemara and if
he is reunited with Emerald after all.

of a half-elf rogue, the scorn of the Shemaran Council against Emerald's supposed
mishandling of Temple funds, a traitor in the midst, and a longdead lover
whose absence tempts her to use the Scroll for personal gain.
Tales
of Athero (working title) – anticipated
ready date – Fall, 2009. This collection of short stories and novelettes all takes place on the
world of Athero. Included in the book will not only be the three stories offered
to FantasyFic members for free reading, but also sequels to each of the stories.
The sequel to The Secret of Moon Magic will follow the capture and enslavement
of Starsong’s high elf husband, Silverwolf. It follows the unusual circumstances
of his captivity, explains why the orcs are torturing him and keeping him alive,
and how moon magic enters into all of this. The sequel to Birth of a Unicorn
will follow the continued adventures of young plains rider Patryll Caelthar,
as he aids the high elves in stemming the tide of foes intent on subduing the
Free States of Athero. These foes seem bound in an unlikely alliance, including
goblins, orc raiders, and the dark Kor brethren. Finally, the prequel and sequels
to Battle Cleric will offer various stories about Emerald, the renowned
Shemaran Battle Cleric, and how her memories of battle are aiding her in achieving
greater wisdom and peace within herself. These collected stories will be offered
for sale as a hard-print book. Beyond that, we can't say, for who knows what
lurks in Bell Kirchman's mind. It seems the self-appointed chronicler of Anthero
is much taken with the hijinks of this particular world and may continue with
its history long past the preliminary collection.
Stranger
on the Shore (a trilogy) – the
first book in the series might be ready by Christmas, 2009.
The first book in this series is already three-quarters written and kicks off
the saga of three generations of royalty and their loves. The prime country
(Arethicallia) of the southern union of four sovereign states has been attacked
along its northern borders by tribes of powerful beast-like creatures known
as the Mraki. The four allies have banded together for mutual benefit under
the leadership of the king of Larandish, the acknowledged military kingdom of
the union. The kingdom of Teriyah, which is the agrarian/hunting sector in the
union, and the principality of Pauca, the artisans and makers of beautiful crafts,
have historically sent their sons in times of military need in return for the
protection the Larandish army affords. An urgent call to arms goes out to the
rulers of these two nations, asking that the eldest son of each family join
the Larandish army. A Larandish prince is sent to Teriyah to help with the muster
and ensure that things go smoothly. Yet things are not smooth at all. The Mraki
have attacked the Arethicallians with such vigor that it appears that the unthinkable
may happen…the Arethicallians will be beaten and the treasure of spiritual awareness
and richness that these “founders of all races” hold may fall into the hands
of the enemy.
On
his way to the Teriyan capitol, the Larandish prince literally falls for Shael,
a young hunter. He falls out of a tree as Shael is preparing to make a difficult
bowshot at a magnificent five-prong buck on his way to drink at the lake. The
ensuing relationship between the prince and the girl is fraught with mystery
and tension, since the prince, wanting her to love him for himself, doesn’t
want Shael to know true identity. The stakes get higher, as Shael decides she
will uphold her family’s honor by offering herself as a family’s token soldier
for the Larandish army. Her prowess with bow and blade is renowned throughout
Teriyah, and she is determined that she can fill the requirement as well as
or better than any Teriyan man. During the course of events, Shael commits herself
to her own spiritual quest of finding out what her life purpose is, the idea
of which Arethicallian priests give to each child born in the four kingdoms.
In an nearly unprecedented move, they would not give Shael hers and were less
than forthcoming when asked why they would not reveal this vital information
that every other child in the four kingdoms received as a matter of course.
Shael is determined to find out what her Sidhallis is and why it was
withheld.
When the war
heats up and the prince has to act as an emissary to Pauca, he is stunned to
find that Paucan intrigue has clouded the issues and the Council of this country
seem not at all interested in sending their young men into the army.
There is further
mystery when it seems that Shael’s father, presumably killed by the Mrakis twelve
years ago, seems to have come to light, at least in Shael’s mother’s mind. At
some point, no one can be certain who is foe and who is friend.
The book follows
the paths of three women and their men through battle, treachery, spiritual
unfoldment, and great love, when a race with time becomes the new enemy as the
Arethicallian strongholds are in deadly danger of being overrun by the rampaging
Mraki.

Completion
of NaNoWriMo
novel
- DONE November 30, 2007
With respect
to the icon at the left, we had eight FantasyFic members who are participated
in NaNoWriMo. The first winner crossed the finish line on Nov. 26, with 50,195
words. That would be me. Three others also finished with a novel
of 50K or more words (Kallysti, Wychwethl, Sarekai and me). Kudos to Kallysti
who has now finished her Nano novel at 73K words. Kudos also go
to Lenore, who surged ahead after Nano to not only complete the 50K quota, but
completed her novel as well.
Eye
of Newt and Toe of Frog – COMPLETED ON TIME – May 30, 2007
This story is the prequel to Witchcanery, where the whole adventure of
Shelley, Brad and Jason started. Eye of Newt… was originally an entry
in a short short fiction contest (had to be under one thousand words). When
Nanowrimo came along, the idea of Shelley,
Brad and Jason expanded into the love/adventure/comedy/drama that has evolved
into Witchcanery. So, if you’ve read the novel, you might be interested
in finding out what happened at the previous meeting between Shelley and Jason,
why Brad and Shelley appeared before the Grand Council of Wizards in the first
place. And was Brad, in fact, a golem or a boy? And if you haven't read the

as a special bonus, to the general public. Go here

Completion
of the FantasyFic forum - DONE in May, 2007
For the time being, the forum will simply be a place where we can chat and get
to know each other. It is also the place where members can go and read a few
of the short stories of Sandra Bell Kirchman. Later, the forum will also be
the venue for showcasing Star Member writers' stories.
