Lythosants Publishing

Of Lythos and Lythosants … what a name.

I am a writer. Though unpublished, still I write. A silly hope, a childish dream; it is the thing I remember always wanting to do. The dandy tell of a writer who, since unpublished, is in fact no writer at all. He is a hack; a dilettante; a slush pile denizen with more materials than sense. We all have a story to tell. All of us. Why do I think mine are worth the print?

Never thought of it that way, actually. I have a need to tell stories like one might need to change underwear and in the modern, digital age, there is no publishing house to stand in my way. This also means there is no publishing house to assist. Thusly, I will push forward to do what I can, hoping the right person will find this portfolio in the right place and contact me in just the right time. Indeed, let us hold unswervingly to hope.

But let us also toil for chance favors the prepared.

The links under the Pages area of this blog will take you to the various samples of my writing. Of the fiction, Chronicles of Mr. Grey is something I tried on a lark; I like screenplays but I don’t have the web-pertise to put one on a site. Him called, “the Cursed” is the story of Sorba the Cursed, a character I created for the game Asheron’s Call; I like him so much I move him from game to game. I plan to make a universe just for him; his character is too fleshed out to be restricted by the confines of a video game. The Wretched is the story of Ogden, an undead Troll Warlock, a character I created for World of Warcraft; like Sorba, Ogden will have his own world. Finally, Falling Down: Azerothian Dark is a feeble attempt to consider and write about the underbelly of the society created in World of Warcraft; as an anthology, that one is a work in progress.

Please note this area is under construction and has been published a bit early. For instance — I’ll actually post the stories I’ve introduced.
