In the mean time, I have a special new short story related to the Kingdom of Gems trilogy to get your taste buds going. This story is set many years before the events in Candara’s Gift and is called “The Awakening Of The Candara Gems”

Pretty much all that’s left to be done is the final editing and the illustrations. The illustrations are now well on their way.

Although things are moving along well, I still can’t actually give you a publishing
date yet. It is likely to take a few months to get it into print.
The book itself is virtually ready, however, and I have sent copies to my two agents in the US.

CAA are my agents in LA and are dealing with film interest in The Kingdom Of Gems trilogy. Very exciting! I will let you know any developments.

I also have an excellent literary agent in New York who is dealing with the publishing side of things. I will be meeting with him next week after which I should have a clearer idea of when The Silver Well will be available.

Keep your eyes open as there will be some exciting new things added to the site very soon!

I’ll try to post more news here as soon as I can.

It has taken longer than I thought at first but I’m sure that you will find that when you do have it in your hands the wait will have been worthwhile. I have been working very hard on it and enjoying every minute.

The story for the whole trilogy was completed some time ago, but I wanted to add some new ideas and characters. I have done this and it just needs a little more work to have it ready to go.

I have just begun illustrations. There will more maps, Wizard Elzaphan’s coat of arms and over thirty illustrations. I will keep you up to date with the progress.

It’s all very exciting and I can’t wait to get the new book out there!

Jasper
