Part Eleven of Army in the Obelisk starts today on the Patreon page! The Army in the Obelisk is the beginning of the end of the story. Djuhuty’s warning to Loren comes to fruition and war arrives in Portents.
Head over to Patreon and start reading Army in the Obelisk today.
We’ve reached the penultimate lap on the twelve-part serial. I hope you’ve been enjoying it half as much as I did in putting the book together. This project was challenging on so many levels, yet I will always look fondly at it.
I can’t thank you enough for being on this journey with me. From the opening gambit with the Nehebkau, to the return of the Cult of Anubis, all the way through Soriya’s struggle with the Baku and Loren’s coffee meeting with Djuhuty, there are so many great moments in this book. I’d love to hear some of your favorites.
Part Eleven Begins.
Thutmose is back. His army approaches. He wants the world to remember him for the great leader he was.
Loren and Soriya must make a final stand against Djuhuty and his forces at the Heliopolis, but first…
Patricia Fleming needs to have her say with Loren.
That’s right, this week is the conclusion of the long-simmering romance between Loren and Patti.
I’m not a romance guy. Ask my wife. She’ll be the first to tell you how heartless I am when it comes to this stuff. But for Army in the Obelisk? To have a character like Fleming in the mix, helping Loren on multiple levels throughout the narrative? This was fun. I loved the tension when Fleming was in the scene, either through Loren’s discomfort in accepting a new love in his life after the loss of his wife, or through Soriya’s amazement that such a love was possible in her friend/partner.
It was a great foil to seed throughout the narrative and helped me stretch my writing skills in a new direction.
