I guess I'm going to be using this blog to catalogue my writing process, and also to advertise my story. (On that note, I haven't posted a recipe in a very long time...)
I have just completed Scroll I of the Soulless series of short stories, entitled Osiris. It introduces two of the main characters in the series, as well as the events kick-starting the introduction and involvement of the beings I call the Soulless.
No doubt the people reading this story will connect the Soulless with Osiris the Egyptian Lord of the Underworld, that they are, perhaps, the same. How that will be told remains to be written, as well as read, but I can assure my readers that more Ancient Egyptian mythical gods will be featured during the entirety of the series.
In some sense I am following Rick Riordan's footsteps in creating a story that revolves around mythical deities but set in the present day and age. Indeed, Riordan has given hints that a new series based on Egyptian gods will be released soon. Some may be tempted to say that I stole the idea from him. I wish to clarify that this is completely untrue. The actual truth is that I have written Osiris as long as five years ago, and now wish to expand the story to include more gods and myths of Ancient Egypt. So if anyone wants to say who copied who, I dare say that since I wrote this first, Riordan copied me. ;p
On a lighter note, I will send Osiris to be published in the June issue of Opinionated Monthly. Any rights to republish the Soulless series is hereafter reserved by OM. I will of course also reserve the right to publish it here, but that will depend on me alone. Having said that, I know I promised to publish The Maze here too, but since The Opinionated Ones blog has already published it on the Internet, there's no need to copy it here.
Author out.
