Are you a fan of the sword Oni-Goroshi? -- 01/10/24: wow, a Blackloak-inspired essay!

:) Good job, Exile :) (Or is that ex-exile? ;) )

And yes, Lolozori's artwork is brilliant :)
😹😹😹😹😹

I am finding quite the niche in the indie author scene on Facebook being a more earnest version of what I was here, so....yknow, I believe it.

Sorry to be needy but Im currently hospitalised (crohns flare) and my launch was kinda fucked by it...did you read TSJ? I am so proud of GH. What it adds to Blackcloak. How much it advances my overall plans.

post sweet nothings at me. In return I will get that CE BC locked in and fiiiinally write some shit in a few books for you.
https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

Huh. My mace dude is now an actual cultist of Chayula. That's kinda wild.
Just got back from holidays 3 days ago, I will be working my way through TSJ now that work crap is straightened out ( to be fair, my staff did a great job while I was gone)

Edit: I do hope you feel better soon!
Edit #2: Yes GH adds A LOT to the storyline, like A LOT.

Just got home last night, getting into the swing of things. I have so much positive energy on Facebook now, it's kinda nuts. You have a rival for the position of superfan btw: one of my partner's friends has read BC 3 times and got things you didn't, or at least things we haven't discussed. But that's awesome, right? You got things she likely never will as well.

I also just got a very nice (and fair) review on Kirkus yesterday. I'll link it in the OP before too long.

https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/w-james-chan/blackcloak-chan/

Messy but mesmerising is pretty fair. :)

For now, working through signed copies of GH and releasing it as an ebook (the TSJ omnibus you have is officially unique for now).

Okay back to it.

A wee bit late to the party, but congratulations on your second book!

Which serves as a reminder that I have yet to get Blackcloak... let alone read it.

I will definitely get it though, as I genuinely want to know more about a certain sword and their companion. And if I find it to be interesting (and let's be honest, I most likely will), I'm gonna get Gildenhammer as well.

As a physical book for me. I want to be able to literally turn the pages, it wouldn't feel quite the same otherwise. Also, and this may sound weird, but I just love the smell of a new book.

So yeah, I'll get to getting those. Soon. Probably.
I make dumb builds, therefore I am.

Happy to sling you signed copies if ya want. A gift for years of forum entertainment.

And thank you! I have made a bit of a splash in the Facebook indie author scene but ugh Facebook.

Oni Goroshi is both a tiny flicker of the real character and, in a way, a throwback. She started as a talking sword back when I RPed as Charan but had to evolve into a full flesh and blood character to *really* fuck with him in his book. And his poor, poor sister in Book 2. And the rest of her world in the whole series.

That's when I knew, without a doubt, that these books aren't just me being a Marty Stu crapwriter: when it became clear my main character isn't the badass in a Blackcloak with a fiery katana, but the bitch wielding him.

The Adventures of Charan this is not. ;)

A bit (a lot honestly) late on the reply as always, but I'd gladly take you up on that offer then. That's gonna be yet another book on the ever-growing pile of "things I really, REALLY should read, but haven't yet". Though I'm just gonna assume that this is a well-known problem.

Anyone who reads has a pile of "to-read" :)
Charan's books are well worth the read(s).
