Originally, those two were suppose to be book one when I wanted my series to be a trilogy, but the independent publishing company I am with wasn't comfortable publishing books longer than 80,000 words, so I had to split my trilogy into five installments.Jason W Baccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777059072163667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-23134124067309250072012-04-25T10:48:56.096-02:002012-04-25T10:48:56.096-02:00Thanks for this great giveaway!

If you want the ebook versions, they're all available on Amazon, and also on the barnes and nobles nook. The paperbacks are available at Whickey Creek Press. I hope you enjoy them.Jason W Baccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777059072163667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-18493765583575028282012-04-22T09:05:35.222-02:002012-04-22T09:05:35.222-02:00Ha ha!

In the first book, Darshun falls for a woman, whose little city had been destroyed, with her being the only survivor. I wish I could say more, but I don't want to spoil anything for you. As the books move on there is another character who develops a romantic interest with Dar's sister. They are both so feisty. ^_^Jason W Baccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777059072163667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-58289306143761320162012-04-22T03:01:31.195-02:002012-04-22T03:01:31.195-02:00Is there an element of romance in this series...do...Is there an element of romance in this series...does Dar have a 'love interest(s)?Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026687148684681149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-47600539267547762252012-04-21T22:55:57.496-02:002012-04-21T22:55:57.496-02:00Now that I have gotten better at writing, and have...Now that I have gotten better at writing, and have gotten my anxiety and ocd habits under control, for the most part, my concentration is much clearer, and I think I could finish a new book in about 12-15 months.Jason W Baccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777059072163667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-18057037153469482412012-04-21T22:53:20.166-02:002012-04-21T22:53:20.166-02:00Hello Jess.

Once I got to a point where I had more time to work on it, and what I was writing started looking better, I got a lot more serious and persistent. All in all, I think it took me about 3 years to get the basic structure of the series down, and another 5 or 6 to complete all 5 books.Jason W Baccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777059072163667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-16802007483584670972012-04-21T03:39:17.359-02:002012-04-21T03:39:17.359-02:00about how long does it take you to write one book....about how long does it take you to write one book. are you able to write more than one a year<br /><br />thanks<br />jessharrison78@yahoo.comJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355634120536811788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-29597461896678152012012-04-20T15:41:44.223-02:002012-04-20T15:41:44.223-02:00Donna, I think I was about 20 years old when I fir...Donna, I think I was about 20 years old when I first began Prophecy of the Guardian, and it just gradually developed over time.Jason W Baccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777059072163667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-78478565285043056582012-04-20T09:55:14.260-02:002012-04-20T09:55:14.260-02:00Hi Patti, thank you.

My Wizards are a bit different from the norm, they're the "result" of the spilt blood from the Holy Angelic of Heaven in the first battle on earth, in the beginning. Their origin is explained in chapter two in "Prophecy of the Guardian." But the most interesting race is my series, for most readers, so far is the Nasharin race, which is what the main character, Darshun, is, very colorful, fearsome and bad arse. ^_^Jason W Baccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777059072163667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-83559630513543297332012-04-16T20:06:41.954-02:002012-04-16T20:06:41.954-02:00this is a new series to me but it sounds interesti...this is a new series to me but it sounds interesting.

While jotting down notes and rough drafts, the story gradually built in my head for a couple of years, and once the "shell" of it was accomplished, it all just started to fall into place. That's my favorite part of writing - the version you make after the "shell" is complete.Jason W Baccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777059072163667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-19750222144638043442012-04-14T22:49:21.885-02:002012-04-14T22:49:21.885-02:00Do you decide how many books will be in the series...Do you decide how many books will be in the series before you begin or as you go?<br /><br />marypres(AT)gmail(DOT)comMary Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201076939557413255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-53266620929772877842012-04-14T19:08:00.756-02:002012-04-14T19:08:00.756-02:00If anyone would like, feel free to check out my vi...If anyone would like, feel free to check out my video book trailer for my series on Youtube. :)<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2Ok8IqLFMAJason W Baccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777059072163667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502773361685989905.post-44333410020959559862012-04-14T19:02:58.464-02:002012-04-14T19:02:58.464-02:00M Williams, I'm sorry, but no, "The Comin...M Williams, I'm sorry, but no, "The Coming of the Light" is not a stand alone book.
