Get ready for a World of Fog

Posted on July 31, 2018 (Subscribe to Blog)

If you're an Island of Fog fan, you'll love what I have planned for the next six months and beyond. Exclusive to subscribers only, I'll be adding a "secret" section to the website containing all kinds of special Fog-related goodies such as:

Detailed timeline including short stories and books
Character and creature studies
Short stories and novellas
Author notes, ideas, and inspirations
Discussion board for fans of the series
Special offers on books

...And plenty more. Basically, it'll be a place to analyze the books -- a compendium of fun and interesting facts related to the Island of Fog world. You'll be welcome to join in as well, if you like.

I've done a similar thing over at a fansite I run for the much-loved English author Enid Blyton, who died in 1968 after publishing hundreds of books and thousands of short stories. On that website, I reviewed her most popular books and added a bunch of articles, and then other Blyton fans joined in with their own discussion points and ideas. It became a community effort, a place to drop in and say hello to other fans.

The first things I'll add to the World of Fog is a general introduction to the series, then a detailed timeline of all the books and short stories. I'll add to this timeline as I write more books. There will also be a free short story, a series "teaser" if you like, taking place right before the first book.

All of this will be free to subscribers.

Of course, not all of you have read every Fog book. Some of you haven't read any of them. That's okay, but to avoid spoilers, you'll have to tread lightly when you enter the World of Fog. But for those who have read every single book, there will be plenty for you to dig into!

I'll most likely open the portal to this secret place sometime in September.

Until then, I have Death Storm to write...

That's a brilliant idea! Looking forward to your "secret" section. I can see little toy figures of the main shapeshifter characters changing into their alter forms (transformer-style) in a near future. Wouldn't that be awesome? :)

Yes, the toy figures are on my bucket list. They go with a board game that has Island of Fog and Elsewhere all mapped out, and players select a character and have only that character's shapeshifter powers to help them in their quest. :-)

I should add, more seriously, that I intend to do a web-based "choose your own adventure" one of these days, and that will be part of the secret content. Since I'm a website designer, I can make that happen quite easily once the adventure is written.
