Twilight Rising
Posted to Creative Work category
I have uploaded my unsold novel Twilight Rising and made it available from the Astral Trading website, all 17 chapters and 8 appendices.
It is intended for mature readers. I have posted warnings but the files are currently not locked.
This novel was originally written using Sprint, an editor sold by Borland in the 80s. The files were later imported into Ami Pro for OS/2. More recently, the Ami versions of the files were imported into KWord.
To generate the website, the KWord files were exported as XHTML, and the files have received some minimal tweaking, but the HTML source remains ugly and primitive. There may be some garbling due to the multiple generations of translation. Please let me know if you find any.
Note: the only substantial difference between the posted file versions and the version that was submitted to various publishers (unsuccessfully) is that the English translations have been removed from the poems at the chapter heads. 17 poem translations out of 100 is way more than fair use. Alternative translations of the various poems can be found here for those who are interested.
I also colored the maps.

Let me know if any of the text got broken in its migration? I didn't want to dink with the text much, because I may have some new stories coming on.
