Hello all.
I'm a long time lurker, but I'm slowly getting around to becoming more active.
I'm currently hard at work on an epic fantasy trilogy entitled "Empire of Skulls." I'm halfway through the 4th draft of the first book, with 1st drafts completed of the next two books. After all is said and done, it will probably be around 500-600k words. It concerns a revolution against a tyrannical empire and involves a convergence of mythical gods and heroes. Off the top of my head, I would say my style is a mashup of GRR Martin, Steven Erikson, Glen Cook and R. Scott Bakker. It's a mix of gritty and high fantasy, with a huge cast of characters, and a very well developed setting. I hope to have the first two books ready for beta readers by the end of the year. I'm hoping to eventually find an agent and go the traditional publishing route.
Also, congrats Patrek!
I'm a random stranger, who has never done any beta reading before, but what exactly would that entail?
