Yes, for those wondering this is the same Tom Larcombe that is currently releasing the Litrpg series Light Online on Amazon. Also, yes, I'll be posting to this blog again now. I didn't get a lot of folks visiting when I was using it before, but I'll drop a link into the back of the next Light Online book letting people know that they can communicate with me through this blog.

For those reading Light Online, the second book is almost completed, I've got 1-2 chapters to go, depending on if I can wrap everything up in a single chapter or not. Then it's off to the editor and waiting on a cover before it's published.

Also, for those wondering, my daughter will not be continuing to make covers for the series and I'll be replacing the cover on the first one as well. She declined when I asked if she wanted to make the covers for the rest of the series like she did the first one, so I've got a cover artist making a replacement for the first one, then doing the second one for me.

Tom.

So it's finally available, only a year plus since I wanted to get this one out.

Crystal Cache on amazon.

Thank you,
Tom

After a long Hiatus, I'm finally back to publishing under my own name. I spent a good deal of time writing since my last post here, but under different pen names, in totally different genres.

Crystal Cache - Crow Hill #2 will be submitted to Amazon shortly. I'll make another post here when it's been accepted and is available.

in the meanwhile you can get communicate with me on the Facebook page I've set up for my books:

Crystal Beach - Crow Hill #1

Crystal Beach - Crow Hill #1 is the title of my next book. After a multitude of delays, it's finally close enough to release to mention it here. I hope to have it published on Amazon by Dec. 8th, 2014.

This story is set in the same world as my Merlin books (An Untimely Error series). But it starts approximately 75 years after the Merlin books leave off. Here's the tentative blurb for it:

What's a wizard to do when he's still being punished for a thirty-year-old transgression and the country begins to fall apart around him? Michael Hart doesn't know, either. So he's making it up as he goes along.

An old flame has contacted him looking for a place to go. She teaches at the only school for wizards on the continent and took responsibility for several of the students when the school was evacuated.

The country is falling apart, the Board's still punishing him for actions taken in his teens, and now they're showing a renewed unhealthy interest in him. Michael needs to be able to offer a safe haven to Rynn and the students, but he can't bring himself to ignore the problems of those around him either.

There are always more things to do than time to do them in and, of course, a man with a gun can pose a serious problem, even to a wizard.

I'll post a link here and send a notification on my mailing list when the book is available on Amazon.

Extended Availability

Now that Merlin's Target, the last book in An Untimely Error, is available I've been going back and adding the first two to different distributors. Merlin's Awakening and Merlin's Travels are now on both Smashwords (and everyone they distribute to) and Google Play. I've set Merlin's Awakening to free on Smashwords in hopes of garnering more interest in the series. The links for these two books are as follows:

Merlin's Awakening:
Smashwords (free):
Merlin's Awakening

Google Play:
Merlin's Awakening on Google Play

Merlin's Travels:
Smashwords:
Merlin's Travels on Smashwords

Google Play:
Merlin's Travels on Google Play

And the good news is that I've already gotten the first book in my next series written. The first draft is done. Proofreading and editing is now started. It was banging around in my head hard enough that I had to do the final proof of Merlin's Target during the day and then write the new book in my free time at night. The series is called "Crow Hill" but I don't have the title pinned down for book one yet. I haven't found one that seems exactly right.

Merlin's Target will migrate to Smashwords and Google Play after its 90 days in KDP select. Hopefully, I'll have them reformatted and waiting to go when the time period is up and I'll upload them the next day.

Merlin's Target

So, I finally managed to finish proofing and editing on Merlin's Target, the third and final book in An Untimely Error. It's on Amazon already and is available at:

http://www.amazon.com/Merlins-Target-Untimely-Error-Book-ebook/dp/B00MTB5VO8

I've almost finished writing the first book in my new series, which is why the third Merlin took so long to become available. I find it difficult to sit down and simply proofread when I have a new story trying to take over my brain.

The new story is a bit of a genre mix up. But it does take place in the same world setting as the Merlin books. The time frame is different, the new series will advance the timeline there by seventy+ years from the end of Merlin's Target. I'll post more about this new series later on, after I get some opinions from beta readers.
