Ben (Roble) and Shawndirea are in this book as well. Some early scenes are from Lehrling's perception when he first encounters them, but Roble also appears later in the book as well. Lady Squire is focused on the fall of Hoffnung, which is partially mentioned in Shawndirea.Leonard D.

I'm at 144,000 words, so it's coming to the ending. <br /><br />The series (time wise):<br /><br />Shawndirea (Book One)<br />Lady Squire: Dawn's Rise (Book Two)<br /><br />Devils Den (set 20 yrs after Shawndirea)<br /><br />What set me back on this novel was writing another novel under my pen name: T.W. Mordrake. Succubus: Shadows of the Beast was released earlier in the year. Then I started back on Lady Squire. The novel was flowing really well, and then I had to take a month off because we moved to another state. Things are back on track. I hope to see the novel out in 4-6 weeks. Leonard D.

Fantastic story. I did a review of Shawndirea on my blog. There are a few typos and other issues as noted below<br />Excessive use of “beautiful” in chapter one and two: locations 90, 104,224, 231, 239, 262<br />Location 4700<br />“And once we’re always from here” should be “And once we’re a ways from here.”<br />Location 5176<br />“After that, the tracks disappear.” Shouldn’t this be in the past tense “After that, the tracks disappeared.”<br />Crossbows traditionally shoot bolts, not arrows, and a decent percentage of your readership will know this. Bolts are shorter and heavier than arrows. While some modern crossbows do shoot arrows, it seems unlike that is the type Roble encountered in Aetheaon.<br />Location 5676<br />You name Zauber in the second paragraph, which puts me in the point of view of Zauber. However, while it is not entirely clear, I think this scene is in Roble’s POV. You would be better off not naming Zauber until your fifth paragraph.<br />(Altho in general you are flexible in POV shifts within scenes. My editor at Champagne won’t allow that, although it generally works for you.)<br />Chapter Forty-Eight… you forgot the word chapter<br />But then, later you have a second Chapter Forty-Eight<br />Location 7637<br />unusual use of the word “girth”<br />Location 8220<br />“Others tired to sell deformed chickens,” should be “Other tried to sell deformed chickens.”<br />Chapter Sixty-Four just says Sixty-Four and does not have a page break<br /><br />Thanks, Ken kennethdschultz@comcast.netAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021846384841263902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596853232991888737.post-78726360324114719482014-06-23T18:06:56.622-04:002014-06-23T18:06:56.622-04:00Thanks, Roger!Thanks, Roger!Leonard D.

At first I was thinking, "What am I getting myself into!?!?", but less then halfway through I couldn't put it down. If you are queasy with violent scenes, don't like too much profanity, or stray from sexually charged scenes- skip this one. But if you like plot twists, genetic beasts, Hollywood caliber action, cyborgs, and high energy adventure- give this book a try.
