Discussing Excerpt Eleven | Marketing Mondays

In yesterday’s post, I shared the introductory scene about Finn from a work in progress, tentatively titled “Technomancer”. This book will not have any explicit content, though it may have some romantic elements, so it is a departure from my prior works.

I’m hoping readers of this blog will respond to the chapter and let me know what they think. As of right now, the book is 30,000 words, so about one third written. I’m planning on finishing the first draft before the year is out and will be adding 50k words during NaNoWriMo.

Here are a few common questions I’m willing to answer at this point.

  • What is the book about? Technomancer is a Sci-fi/fantasy novel that explores the intersection of magic in a high-tech world, or the impact of technology on a magical realm. As you can tell from this first chapter, it starts in a world of magic.
  • Who is Finn? As you can tell from the expert, Finn is a bit of a hacker on a mission. He is trying to fight the system that he sees as being unjust. He is a bit of a white knight, but has enabled the darkness he is now fighting.
  • How does Finn relate to Elara from the opening chapter? The short answer is their two paths will cross very soon. However, what path their relationship takes and what it means for their character arcs is not yet revealed.
  • How can I read more of the tale before it’s published? That’s a good question. I may pull a few more WIP posting from it, but am not committing to that. I need to get the first draft done. I may open a beta reader program. If you are interested in being a beta reader, please subscribe to this blog so you can be notified if and when such a program opens. In the meantime, I’m back to writing.
