TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Two years ago today, I released The Crystal Crux : The First Three Days. The book is a YA adaptation of the first two books in The Crystal Crux series – Betrayal and Blue Grotto.

Because there are so many adult themes, dark images and sexual situations in the original series, it was difficult to create a work that whitewashed those elements into something presentable for younger readers.

While I believe it turned out well for a YA offering, I’m personally not as happy with it as I probably should be because I never intended to reach this audience with this story.

I am not sure if I will try to transform anymore of the remaining books in The Crystal Crux books into a YA edition.

For now, if you are a YA reader, or know a YA reader who is interested in entering the challenging world of The Crystal Crux, The First Three Days is a good place to start.

The entire Crystal Crux series is a 10 day adventure in the year 1198.

Pero de Alava, a caballero from Spain, stuck in the heart of Italy, curses God and begins a quest he doesn’t expect to ever return from. He believes his sacrifice will save his people.

He couldn’t have been more wrong.

Betrayal covers the First Day.
