Story Status: In progress. I’m writing this story over on my Substack, Joe (the Author) – Novel in Progress. Come follow along and share your thoughts as this one takes shape.
The official start date of this first draft is: 11/11/2024, much later than the initial notes I pulled together on the story, but the first pass at really fleshing it out.
Story Order: Neftando’s Education | P.Atulous Rising | Silke’s Story | Convergence | Distraction | Enter the Game | Rise of the Space Pirates | The Collapsing Order | The Final Conflict
Neftando is an important “villain” in The Seven Coins series. Like every interesting villain, though, he has a compelling backstory.
Though you might easily overlook it, Neftando makes an appearance in Silke’s Story as well as Convergence.
From an early Log Line:
In the vast Cherophan empire, strength is prized. Lesser folk defer to greater. Women yield to men. And gravity bows only to the Slip Rider. One boy imagines a world where all are valued and honored. A world where people have the right to meaningful choices and pursuits. A world that is different from his. But to achieve this vision, he will have to become the most powerful creature in all of the Cosmos.
