This is one of the things I need to work on: the summary. I wrote the first draft of this about 20 years ago and it topped out at a whopping 190K+ words. By the time I was finished and gotten the usual rejections from agents/publishers, my kids were on the way and it got tucked into a closet.
Enter the Kindle age and self-publishing and I dragged it back out and got involved with a writer's group. It's been seriously trimmed down (to ~130K words), which has made it a tighter book. The group is reviewing the last of it this week, then I'll spend a couple months incorporating feedback, sending it out in one big block to anyone from the group who wants a last shot at it, then hopefully up on Amazon by the end of the year.
What's it about? It's a fantasy/sci-fi mix. There is a world with a medieval feel to it that is struggling, where the land is rotting around them. There are creatures that live there that, under the right conditions, transform from docile beings into violent, armored monsters. In this world, there is a gateway that links to our world, roughly 20 years in our future. Automation, electric cars, etc are more prevalent; the Internet is now a 3D world you access via a visor. There's a bit of mystery to it, as I piece together the structure of the medieval world, how it came into existence, why these creatures transform.
Ultimately I focused on writing a fantasy/sci-fi book that didn't line up good on one side and evil on the other and have them duke it out. I focused on the characters, their motivations, so that even the "bad guys" are more shades of gray.
