Finally, an achievement reached!

The full adventure of Beyond the Morning Mountains, Volume Two is now finally written: 3000 sections / 476,000 words (plus several bonus articles & stories, new RARE items, and an expanded Creature Compendium). Having finally achieved this noteworthy goal, I’m now editing the recently completed sections while checking their gameplay to ensure that the text is free of any major faults. I’ll then work on the remaining illustrations before starting on the page layout and other production tasks.

Unfortunately, I honestly cannot provide a reliable release date for the publication of Volume Two (later during 2025 is my only target) or guarantee that I’ll actually be able to finish all of the outstanding work at the standard of presentation I desire. Beyond the Morning Mountains is certainly taking a long time to complete, but when read together, the two volumes create a 4000-section adventure that will hopefully bring enjoyment to all who love exploring detailed fantasy worlds.

  1. Congratulations for completing the second book! I’m sure the wait will be more than worth it. You’ve created something so totally unique and original with your world – both in writing and in its congenial illustrations and phantastic imagery – it’s a real piece of art. I admire your work and you’ve already left a powerful and lasting hallmark of your own. I own your first book in hardback and two softbacks (first and second edition) and hold it as a treasure. I can’t wait to hold the second book in my own hands. Good luck!

    • Thanks for your kind words, Alexander – I’m very happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed my world of Quahnarren. The second volume is so full of content that I would be very surprised if you don’t find plenty of further entertainment within its many pages.

      I’ve still got a lot of work to do to reach a publication date, but am hopeful that all this effort will be well worth the wait.

      Regards, Michael.

  2. I only came to know about your gamebook recently, and am wondering if book 2 will be made available at Amazon?

    • Hi Calvin,

      Like Volume One, the 2nd book will be available from DriveThruRPG – that’s the only online retailer that I’ll sell it through (their pricing, service and print quality is the best I’ve found).

      Regards, Michael.
