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.

Rooms Kindle Giveaway Has Ended & NEW FANTASY BOOK UPDATE

The ROOMS Kindle eBook giveaway has ended, and I hope everyone that downloaded ROOMS will enjoy reading it. Thanks for participating!

UPDATE!

CAVE OF DREAMS

As you can see, I've chosen the title for my new fantasy novel. It will be called CAVE OF DREAMS and will be the second book in a series that will follow my fantasy/mystery novel titled Beatrice. Each of the books after Beatrice, though, will be able to be read independently of the others.

I'm truly enjoying the work on CAVE OF DREAMS. I did a lot of research prior to the writing of it and am doing even more as I go along. I'm working hard to make sure it is authentic to Scotland and to the time periods within the plot.

The first four chapters take place during AD 500 and lay the foundation for what happens in the rest of the story, which will take place in modern day Scotland. The book looks like it will be my longest to date, and the plot will be intricate and complex as well as being a lot of fun to write.

I'll let you know more as I progress, but I think it will be at least another six months or so before the book is ready to publish. We'll see how things go...

ROOMS: Free Kindle Book Offer from July 12-16

I hope you enjoy your Kindle copy of ROOMS, and after you read it, I would really appreciate it if you wrote a review either on Goodreads.com or in Amazon.com.

NEW FANTASY NOVEL!

I've almost completed all of the research and preparation in order to write the sequel to Beatrice. As with Beatrice, it will also be a fantasy, but the second book will be a much darker novel and will include some new characters along with some of the original ones from the first book.

I'm also glad that I've taken time away from Beatrice before writing this book. I think the counterpoint between them will be not only challenging but very interesting to write and, I hope, compelling for the reader as well.

I'll let you know more as I get into it!

If you have Rooms on your Kindle, or on a Kindle Reader for one of your devices, you can easily get the updated version by either emailing or calling Kindle Support at 1-888-280-4364 and asking them to update your current version.

Finally Beginning Research For My Next Novel

NEW FANTASY/MYSTERY NOVEL!

I've started work on a new novel. It will be written as a stand-alone novel, but it will also take place after Beatrice and be the follow up book to it.

I don't know the title yet, and there isn't a lot than I can share at this point, but the book will center around a struggle of wills, and there will be a mystery that will need to be solved along the way. It will include many of the characters from Beatrice as well as some new ones.

The setting will be in the Scottish Highlands, as in the picture above, as well as some other locations around Scotland. Some of those will be real, some historic, and others will be fictional. It might also include one or two other countries.

I've started the outline, a list of characters, the setting, and have been doing some research for the book. I am very excited to begin writing again!

Updated Beatrice and Rooms Review

I've just updated my new Fantasy/Mystery/Thriller Beatrice on Amazon. I've changed the cover slightly and made some small changes in the text. I've also included a short description and a quote below.

Description of Beatrice

Magic, mystery and historical events combine in this unique, modern day fantasy written about a family in Scotland. Ewan Bauman was about to have his eighteenth birthday party on his family’s old and venerable estate outside of Edinburgh. On the night of the party, however, a traumatic event occurred that caused his mother, sister and he to lose fragments of their memories, including everything that had happened that night. It haunted them and pushed them apart, but after twenty years, the tug and pull of that night could no longer be ignored. They had to find out what happened. Their search brought them closer together, but it also took them to a very dark and sinister place - one that they could never have imagined - a place from which they might never return.

“I attempted to reach out and touch something solid that I could push against. I had no sense of up or down or movement. I couldn’t feel or hear or smell, but I could see, not in the usual way, but in insignificant bursts that came sporadically as my eyelids opened and closed and opened and closed.  Within those small, fractured moments, I could see that I was surrounded and trapped in a dense, cinnamon-stained vapor that swirled into oblivion. I couldn’t remember how I’d entered that hell, and I had no memory of it ending.”

I've just received a new review of ROOMS that I've placed below.

Beautiful Story With A Timely Message

This book offers a timely view into a future brought on by the consequences of corporate greed and war. As I journeyed with Rad through the Old One's Room, I was not only entertained. I felt Rad's joy and reverence for the Earth and it's people. I felt his growing desolation as he witnessed the slow destruction of the Earth within each successive level of the Room. I struggled with him as he worked with Sparks and Zeer to bring health and hope to the demoralized Terran population.

Since the author left this story open to a sequel, I will be excited to see how his writing style evolves and how he ties the planet Loon (where The Old One and Zeer reside) to Earth and the other human outposts scattered throughout the universe.

ROOMS HAS BEEN PUBLISHED ON AMAZON!

Paperback on Amazon
Kindle eBook on Amazon

I actually just re-read it myself, and I still enjoyed it a lot, even after reading it many, many, many times. It is one of those science fiction books that encompasses a broad spectrum of ideas and takes place over a large expanse of time and in several different locations. As you read it, you will be engaged in more than one plot line and see them intertwine and come together towards an exciting climax. There are lots of twists and turns and things to wonder about as you read, and the characters are unusual and fun. And as some of my readers have told me it can be "quite a ride."

If you like science fiction, I think you'll enjoy it, and if you do purchase and read Rooms, please write a review on Amazon when you're done and let others know about the book as well. I would really appreciate it.
