Terrene Press Announces Fantasy Author R.T. Kaelin to Publish a Series of Short Stories Inspired by His Critically-Acclaimed Novel, Progeny
The Terrene Chronicles is a series of short stories illuminating past events mentioned in R.T. Kaelin’s high fantasy novel, Progeny. Each story will be free for fans of the first entry in the fantasy series, The Children of the White Lions.
Columbus, OH, March 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The success of R.T. Kaelin’s first high fantasy novel, Progeny, has prompted the author to write and publish a set of standalone short stories inspired by historical events referenced in Progeny. Fans of the first volume in the Children of the White Lions have stated their desire to know more about the expansive world of Terrene and its rich history. The Terrene Chronicles will give old and new readers alike a chance to see what shaped the people, countries, and events of the world.
R.T. Kaelin, author of Progeny, recognizes that any author who hopes to be successful in the current book marketing environment must meet the demands of the marketplace. Beyond full-length novels, readers today desire smaller stories and more affordable options for when they read. For this reason, he has chosen to offer each short story on the Kindle for under a dollar.
"I am extremely pleased," stated Kaelin, "with the critical success of this fantasy novel. Progeny was written to draw the reader into a vibrant, vivid world full of characters as substantive as any living person. When the last line is completed, I wanted the readers of the first entry in The Children of the White Lions series to demand to know what comes next. I was not expecting them to ask what came before Progeny. The Terrene Chronicles will be an opportunity for fans to get peek into the past, as well as hopefully pull new readers into the world of Terrene."
Progeny, the first installment in the Children of the White Lions series, has garnered rave reviews, drawing parallels to the writings of top fantasy authors Brandon Sanderson, David Eddings, Scott Lynch, and Jim Butcher. Many believe it is among the best fantasy books released recently. Progeny has been compared to Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter. Interest in the book has been high for this fantasy book, and R.T. Kaelin has been very busy sharing his fantasy fiction novel with readers.
The latest review from Her Book Self Book Reviews states: “Progeny by R.T. Kaelin is a stunning work of epic fantasy. The story is wonderfully told and full of action and adventure. A single village or kingdom is not enough to contain the story, so the setting is an entire nation with multiple terrains, laws, races, and cultures. Along with a pantheon of gods - good, neutral, and evil - the story refers to seasons, history, education, politics, ancient prophecy, customs, and legends of the land, all of which contribute to bringing the world to life.”
The author has been touring high schools, talking with hundreds of students about creative writing and the power of the written word while sharing his love of reading and writing. A ten-day Authors Chat with R.T. Kaelin was held at LibraryThing.com where the reading community interacted directly with the author, asking him questions about his high fantasy book.
Kaelin has also been involved in a number of high profile media interviews, the most recent appearance being The Authors Show, where listeners were able to hear what went into writing the epic fantasy story. He shared where the ideas for his top selling book came from and why the writings of certain bestselling fantasy authors like Raymond E. Feist, Christopher Paolini, and Robert Jordan inspired him to write.
Future events for the author include additional speaking appearance to discuss creative writing as well as a book reading and signing events. Kaelin is available for media interview and can be reached using the contact information below, or by email at rtkaelin@terrene.info. More information, including links to full reviews, is available at his website, http://www.progenythebook.com. Progeny is available at http://www.Amazon.com and http://www.BarnesAndNoble.com and may be ordered from any bookstore. The Kindle edition was published on February 4, 2011 at http://www.Amazon.com/Kindle-eBooks.
Each installment of The Terrene Chronicles will be available for a short time for free at his website, and bundles of the stories will be available for purchase for the Kindle for $.99. The first story will be published on March 8th at http://www.RTKaelin.com.
R.T. Kaelin grew up in Cincinnati and now resides in Pickerington, Ohio with his wife and two children. He works in the information technology field in Columbus. He realizes that the traditional method of publishing involves a high amount of luck and, not wishing to have his high fantasy novel bogged down in the traditional publishing business model, he decided to follow the path of self-publishing. His gamble has paid off as evidenced by the success of his fantasy novel, Progeny.
Representatives of traditional publishers are welcome to contact R.T. Kaelin to discuss acquiring national publishing rights to Progeny and the remaining books in the series.
