I spent an insane amount of time yesterday working on the peripheral materials for the new Arthurian Cycle. The Arthurian mythos is so vast and varied combining that with both actual 5th-6th Century history and my own story canon is proving to be quite a feat but an incredibly enticing one. Honestly, all this work is coming to the detriment of my other priorities, but I’m sure I can set things aright.

Now I’ve got to decide how I want to break down the series. I’m thinking that the first book should be devoted to the lead-up to Arthur’s birth, the next one to Arthur’s tutelage under Merlin, and the last one all the tragedy leading up to the Battle of Camlann. It’s kinda funny. I’m getting so wrapped up in Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table that I start to forget the character who acts as my primary link with The Brothers Pendragon. (I will say, though, man, does he ever get what’s coming to him.) That isn’t to say I lost sight of all links to the Tellus Arc, as a significant portion of the cast has been reimagined to inextricably link them up. (You’ll probably be surprised at some of the connections made.)

Honestly, I could write a whole novel just about the rise and fall of Constantine III, but all that is more a distraction that anything to the main story. Perhaps I’ll make a spinoff. We’ll see. Stay tuned.
