I’ve decided to send out another round of queries for Christmas in Pandemonium. That’s my work-in-progress. You can see my prior post about it. It’s been nearly six months since the last round, and I’ve made significant changes. I’m also open to beta readers, if anyone is interested.

In other Pandemonium related news, I think I will start posting a bit of the Pandemonium lore on my blog. You see, I began writing Pandemonium before I knew what I was doing, so the first chapter of my book was 14,000 words of pure exposition. Yeah, not how you want to start, but my worst piece of writing does do a pretty good job of explaining the idea.

Pandemonium is a town founded by Satanists in the year 1620 on the coast of South Carolina. The opening chapter was a long excerpt from a book called “A Brief History of the Island and Town of Pandemonium” written by the current Satanic High Priest, Acton Ravenwood, a ham if there ever was one. Over this “brief history” Ravenwood explains how the town was founded, the people who live there, and how it exists in the present day.

It’s bad, no good, rotten exposition, but I still love it. It’s my first dive into real writing, so I’m going to put it on my blog. Can’t get it published, so I might as well post it.
