Temple King Re-Born for release 2010 christmas

I have just finished self-publishing temple king for release over the holidays of this year.

So with that i had to re-do the idea of it, instead of 7 books there will now be 5.

But don't worry, they will keep to the storyline, as a fact the TOTD & FSOL will be merged into 1 book and the same goes for COTK & TOA.

Here are the new names for Temple King.

Temple King: Quest For The Sword
Temple King II: The Dreaded Fires
Temple King III: The Forgotten Empire
Temple King IV: Revelation Of The Past
Temple King V: Dagger To The Throne

You know the length of This story, when i say this i don't mean just one story for the entire legend of my world, but i mean that there could be a few more stories that are told, for instance the prologue could be lengthened, a few prototype names i have below.

Temple King: The Beginning
Temple King: Rise Of The Centaurs
Temple King: The Next Age

They are three of a possible thousand books i could release, but keep in mind i am still writing this series.

Currently QFTS is written, but i did finish TOTD before i thought to merge both 2 and 3 together, so the second book is still being written, there is over 20 chapters so far, i am aiming for a total of 35.

I hope you all stick with me and this story will begin in the holidays.

Temple King: Delayed

Okay, so i have run into a problem with my publishers, apparently they wanted to sell the book for £10, so i said no and they told me unless it was £10, it wouldn't get published by them as they want there revenue off the book.

So here is what i did, I took the contract i had, tore it up, threw it in there face, took my book and decided to self-publish until a new publisher is interested.

Now the original release date was June 27th 2010, but i guess now it won't release until 2011.

Another reason was this, they decided that one of the chapters was too scary and too violent for the younger reader, in question here is the chapter they decided to take out.

"Chapter Six: The Hourglass"

Sure, it involves a dark cave, with a portal, a ghoul and alot of bloodshed, sure it's very scary, but that's kinda what the second book is all about anyway.

So, as promised in the last update before i released a few characters and items, i promised to reveal the chapter names, so here they are.

0.Prologue
1.Coronation
2.Fall Of Zior
3.A Shadowed Light
4.An Allied Foe
5.Journey Into The Forgotten
6.The Hourglass
7.The Battle Rages On
8.City Of Legends
9.March Of War
10.The Path To Everstone
11.The Challenge Of Ahriman
12.First Clash
13.Knightfall (final)

Now i know what you're thinking, 14 chapters, not alot, why buy it ?, am i right, well, it's over 800 pages long, the sixth chapter is 80 pages long, the rest mix up into around the 60 mark.

It's longer than the second, but as explained in a previous post, the second will be split into two parts as will the third and final fourth.
