New Epic Novel In The Works
Posted by Bryan Caron in Books, Entertainment, Novel, Releases, Video, Writing on August 13, 2015
I have a new novel in the works, and it’s going to be epic! (I know, I’m boasting. But hey, I’m a writer… I give the truth scope!)
Originally written approximately 10 years ago, the novel flowed from my fingertips like luscious honey, and no matter how hard I tried, I could never find a way to close the floodgates. But what writer would, especially when my characters were taking me on such a wild and adventurous journey — one that I now feel is ready to share with the world. Though a release date has yet to be set (because, you know, it has been sitting on my digital shelf for nearly ten years… I need to blow some ones and zeroes off of it before it’s at its best and brightest), I’ve tentatively scheduled it for sometime in November.
More will be revealed in the coming months. But for now, here’s a short teaser trailer to whet your appetite. View Teaser Trailer

It’s getting closer!
Before my new novel officially lands on June 23, you now have the chance to check out the first two chapters, which are ready to be devoured as part of the brand new Phoenix Moirai Publising site, which itself dives head first into what makes publishing with Phoenix Moirai so unique (or at least what will make it unique, once it’s fully operational in, say, ten or so years *cross fingers*; I know, it’s a long time to wait, but I’m still building the business, here, so be patient!)

1st Draft Complete… Finally!
Posted by Bryan Caron in Books, Miscellaneous Stuff, Novel, Observances, Releases, Writing on June 17, 2014
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been pretty quiet in posting much of anything other than my weekly movie review. It’s not necessarily that I didn’t have anything to say, it’s that taking the time to turn my thoughts into anything that would make a modicum of sense has been elusive, mostly due to a lack of motivation. Part of this, I think, stems from the struggles I’ve been encountering in getting Phoenix Moirai out into the public consciousness and turning new contacts into actual clients. I knew going in that it was going to be an extremely steep and laborious climb, but with the reality of it all settling into place, and my current revenue stream beginning to dry up, you can see how this might make me feel a little insignificant and powerless.

A New Author Interview
Posted by Bryan Caron in Books, Entertainment, Miscellaneous Stuff, Novel, Writing on March 2, 2014
Back when I was in the middle of the virtual book tour for my novel, In the Light of the Eclipse, I was contacted by a blogger who wanted to know if I would be up to doing an interview for her blog. Of course I said yes (duh). I finished the interview back in December, hoping to have it released around the end of the tour, but for whatever the reason, that particular interview was continuously postponed.

And the Sequel Begins
Posted by Bryan Caron in Books, Entertainment, Novel, Writing on January 6, 2014
This afternoon—after a holiday season that saw a lot of time away from the computer and a lot of busy work on other projects (which included my book tour for In the Light of the Eclipse, looking into selling my feature film, Secrets of the Desert Nymph, beta reading my friend’s new novel, playing “Star Wars Angry Birds” and “Skyward Sword”, breaking in the new Wii U I got for Christmas (I know, when that procrastination bug takes hold…), spending time with family, prepping the filming of my sister’s wedding, helping to put new carpet into my family’s living room, and of course looking and applying for a new full-time job)—I finally wrote the first 2000 words of my next book, Memoirs of Keladrayia: Jaxxa Rakala.

Insider Tips: Character Development 101
Posted by Bryan Caron in Books, Commentary, Film, Miscellaneous Stuff, Novel, Writing on August 29, 2015
Characters are the bread and butter of your story, the glue that holds the plot together, the icing on the… oh, you get the gist. The characters are the emotional center of any written work — they are who takes us along with them on their journey. If we aren’t emotionally involved with the lead character (who may or may not be the narrator), or find the supporting characters boring or nonsensical, the reader will quickly become bored and no amount of plot will bring them back. It doesn’t matter if it’s a young boy who discovers he’s a wizard, a group of kids who band together to fight the evil lurking in the sewer, or a man who builds a spaceship to hunt for his abducted wife, if the characters are weak or underdeveloped, the story will suffer. So how do you go about engaging the reader with compelling characters that they’ll want to follow to the end of the world? Learn the Basics for Character Development
