Month: June 2021

After hinting for years that I would write a book for writers, I am finally taking action on it. I have been writing a non-fiction book for writers/storytellers titled Virtue in Story: How to Write Stories that Impact Generations

I was hesitant to announce this, because I have started this project several times without success over the past decade. Now the meat of this book is filling in, and I can see it pulling together as one cohesive book. I will update you all as this progresses, but realistically I think this could be published December of this year.

Have you noticed the mysterious silence on Author Appleton’s website this last six weeks?

Maybe a dragon ate him, or he fell down a well… Nah, he’s finishing writing Sword of Tears for all those eager fantasy readers. He’s between heroes and villains, and between heroines and the wenches that need to get what’s due them for their evil deeds. Traitors seem to be everywhere, but he’s out there on the field trying to rouse the best in the Hemmed Land to stand up for truth and justice. He’s exhausted, as well you can understand, but he will call on you soon to join the political upheaval and cast your weight behind Ilfedo and the sword of the dragon.

Coming September 2021
