The Chronicles of Korovia

What happens when a writer has ideas for stories that don't fit in with a normal series of books because the characters are different in every book, it is only the setting that is the same?

Well, in my case, I opted to publish a series of short stories, novelettes and one standalone pulp fiction length novel where the only thing that the stories have in common are the theme of dogs and wolves in each of the stories. Because some of the stories also feature the following I decided to call the series The Chronicles of Korovia:

• Time Travel
• Time Paradoxes
• Chronomancy

I published each story individually, and eventually I had enough of them that I decided to publish an anthology collection:

The Chronicles of Korovia: Anthology Collection

The anthology collection will be released on October 1st 2025 and includes all of the following stories:

• A Hound Named Hunter
• The Hab & the Witch
• Pawn of the Demon Prince
• The Ghost of Garter Street
• The Worgs of Winter
• The Seawolf of Weyvin
• Raiders of Pravda Vremya

Plus "Guardians of Lost Souls" and other bonus stories.

Readers can, of course, purchase the stories individually if they don't want to wait, or you can preorder the ebook version of the anthology for when it releases in October 2025.

1. A Hound Named Hunter (short story)
2. The Hab & the Witch (short story)
3. Pawn of the Demon Prince (pulp fiction length novel)
4. The Ghost of Garter Street (novelette)
5. The Worgs of Winter (novelette)
6. The Seawolf of Weyvin (novelette)
7. Raiders of Pravda Vremya (short story)
   

 

Updated September 2024

 I don't use this website much any more, usually preferring to use my fiction.charlesmoffat.com website instead, but this blog still has its uses.

For one thing, I can use it to promote my magazine, Peasant Magazine, which features fantasy authors and historical fiction authors (and historical fantasy authors, obviously). Each issue also includes 1 short story set in Korovia, for my fans.

I can also use this blog to promote Arcane Tomes, an indie fantasy bookstore that is open to all indie fantasy authors and their books.

So yes, korovia.blogspot.com still has its uses even if I don't use the Korovia domain name any more.

Today, for example, I updated the top of the blog, giving it a Bookshelf in a similar manner to Arcane Tomes, and I have updated a number of the links and visual aspects of this blog.

And in the future I am planning to release the Korovia Roleplaying Game system, and I can use this blog again to promote the KRPG.

And I should really be posting updates on here regarding new book releases. I am releasing 5 or 6 new books per year (usually 1 novel + 4 or more short stories/novellas), so this blog can be an extra source for marketing those books.

I am releasing a new novelette on October 1st 2024: The Worgs of Winter, which is the 5th book in my Chronicles of Korovia series. Each story/novel in the Chronicles series features dogs and/or wolves in some manner, and each story interconnects with other Korovia novels and short stories. Eg. Soljargon, one of my fan favourite characters, makes an appearance in The Worgs of Winter.

 

And lastly, since much of my marketing is done via social media these days I should also be plugging my social media accounts, including:

facebook.com/charlesmoffat.fans

instagram.com/charles.moffat

ko-fi.com/charlesmoffat

threads.com/charles.moffat

twitter.com/charlesmoffat / x.com/charlesmoffat

youtube.com/@CharlesMoffatAuthor

The social media accounts that I use the most I have marked in BOLD. Obviously due to the nature of social media these accounts are changing regularly, as is which ones I frequently make use of. For example, I find I am using Twitter/X less often these days.

So yes, I really should be using this blog more often for marketing purposes.
