FAERIE APOCALYPSE

[jasonfranks]

I'm still a bit gunshy about talking about my bigger projects on this blog, but I'm also determined to keep talking about my writing processes on this blog. I wrote about my recently completed novel, BLOODY WATERS here a couple of months back and now I'm going to do the same for my other almost-complete novel, FAERIE APOCALYPSE. (The BLOODY WATERS

Huge fan of all the works you've noted and of the genre you're working in. Can't wait.

By the way, it's in the sci-fi genre, but I highly suggest you read Iain M. Banks' Use of Weapons. You'll understand why once you've read the whole book. (It only works if you read the whole book; even 90% of the book won't be enough to work.)

Thanks, Syn. Glad it sound interesting to somebody else. With this one, I've been worried that I'm writing for an audience of one.

I'm a big Fan of Iain Banks, and USE OF WEAPONS is easily my favourite of his books. I was just talking about it over on puffdoggydaddy's blog...

You should copyright it first! Have you thought about that? Get it copyrighted, cause you never know. Why don't you copyright it?

From what I've read it sounds like a great idea. I wish I would have thought of it first. Never would have thought of combining the world of faerie and rock 'n' roll. Can't wait to read it.

Thanks, Wood.

The rock'n'roll thing just sort of happened; it wasn't really a part of my original plan... but I was looking for something obnoxious and disruptive and contemporary and jarring against the setting and rock was the obvious choice.

Most often the characters themselves reference rock music, if they, but some of the references are in text and are maybe not obvious.

The last quarter of the book, "Black Wings", makes several references to the Tom Waits song of the same name, for example, without the sogn or its author ever being mentioned.
