No, not Five years of Fife Ramblings. But Sunday, September 16 marks the five year anniversary of the death of a man who managed to shape the very fabric of my life without ever having been directly in it. I am speaking of Robert Jordan, the man whose writing inspired me to write. Today has [...]

Chapter Eight: “A Name” So, I feel like I’m becoming a bit of a Sanderson expert. I’ve read all of his published work except for his thesis and that new media tie-in piece he did, and I am acquainted with him from conventions, and I correspond with his assistant Peter from time to time. So, [...]

And here we go again: Volume Two is launched! Remember to read it all, prologue and chapter one put up today. Speaking on that, a good number of people seemed to miss the epilogue of Volume One, if my hit count is anything to go by. If you missed it, that link is to it [...]

Page Five! So, April and I have really been enjoying this vacation while Kassy does most of the work. But, alas, all good things must come to an end. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to be replaced with another good thing, right? So, I am please to announce that Tijervyn Volume Two is [...]

First off: Page 2 of The Legends of Tijervyn. Wee. I recently read the Alcatraz Smedry books by Brandon Sanderson, and I’ll go ahead and say yes, they are good. You should find them and read them. But this isn’t a review. Instead, I’m keying in on something that was brought up in the second [...]

“Legends of Tijervyn” is now live with the cover! I hope you enjoy Kass Herron’s art. A little about this project (and not at all about the heavy hitting blog post I was promising.) Cook has become a bit of a favorite for myself and April, and she quickly grew onto Kass. Why? I really [...]

So, I told you I had a project coming up that isn’t quite Volume 2, but is still something good. I am pleased to be able to tell you what that is. Starting next Friday with the cover page, RichardFife.com will begin running the new webcomic “The Legends of Tijervyn” written by yours truly and [...]

Chapter Twenty-Two: “Revelation” Epilogue And thus concludes Revenant, Volume One of the Tijervyn Chronicles. Yes, I finally named it beyond “Volume One”. The singular chapter downloads, audio and eBook, will stay as they are, but further distribution (such as a possible paper book or the compiled eBook) will be under the new name. Also, please, [...]

Chapter Eighteen: “The Basement” I have always felt a little odd, writing steampunk in a secondary world. I mean, part of the point of steampunk is to write an alternate history. People want to see London or Seattle or Paris or Beijing or what-not in the Victorian era with lasers or something. Well, there is [...]

Chapter Eleven: Fires in the Night And yes, that is a vague reference to the Genesis song: Land of Confusion. Funny story, I actually have a vague, dreamlike hope of eventually seeing some sort of video being made to that song using either the panels from Tijervyn or scenes from the eventual super awesome HBO [...]
