Second edition released of BEATRICE: BOOK I OF THE ALBAN SAGA

2nd Edition Released!

I just released a 2nd edition of my young adult fantasy novel Beatrice: Book I of the Alban Saga. It's a new version of the original novel that has been revised and edited. The second book of the series is Black Grotto, and I will be issuing a new edition of that book as well in a month or so.

The series name is new for the two books as well, and I plan on eventually adding others. The history behind the series' name is that the books all take place in modern day Scotland, but there are aspects of each that are derived from Scottish history. The word, Alba, is an ancient name for the Scottish isles, and I used Saga instead of series because it means long story, and that is exactly what this group of books will be - thus, the name, Alban Saga.

The new edition can be purchased in either paperback or Kindle eBook on any Amazon site around the world. Just search for "Bob Stegner," and you will see the new cover design.

Progress on New Book and Rewriting Older Novels

In my new fantasy/science fiction book, Merlin & Arthur: The Awakening, I'm almost done with chapter 23. I'm well into the series of events leading up to the climax. I was hoping to get the book finished in 2018, but I might not make that deadline. We'll see.

It's been an incredibly exciting and challenging story to write, and I'm looking forward to everyone being able to read it. You'll be the first to know when I'm done.

Also, I'm working on revising all of my prior novels. I reread them recently and found some things that I wanted to change. I'll let you know when those are done, too.

It's been a busy year of writing, and I've learned a great deal.
