Bible Tales Plans

Last updated Dec 23, 2021 @ 5:03 pm.

We are always writing books, and serials are often in progress.  But we are also planning future releases.

Items on this page will normally include an empty progress bar and some expected milestone dates.

These dates are given in the knowledge that God is in control of our lives and everything else – things do not always work out as we expect.  As far as it is up to us and we continue to live, these dates are important targets.

News of progress and further releases is included in the Bible Tales Thursday Newsletter.  Sign up now and you will hear the news first.  Planned projects listed on this page will not normally be mentioned in the newsletter, but sometimes they are.  Once progress is made, these projects move to the Work in Progress page.

If you have any more questions about the books and can’t wait to hear answers through the newsletter, please ask through our Contact form.

NaNoWriMo 2018 began the process of writing another novel.  Subject: the prophet Daniel.  Title “Daniel, Man of Light”.

Content is still being slowly finalised.  Target 80,000 to 85,000 words. Plans for publishing are different from the Terror on Every Side! series.

NaNoWriMo 2020…

The words written (God willing) in November are only ever a start of the process. Extra content is always required as well as thorough editing. Target length would probably be in the range of 50,000 to 100,000 words.

This is testing a work in progress.  Our family trees are normally done in SVG, but getting these to display properly requires embedding of the font (Roboto Condensed).  Currently testing two things to do with SVGs:

1. use of svg-buddy.  First save as “plain SVG” in Inkscape (filename “DavidFamilyTreePlain.svg”).  Then use svg-buddy: “java -jar svg-buddy.jar DavidFamilyTreePlain.svg” to create DavidFamilyTreePlain-e.svg with embedded font on MacOS. It seems to work well with the SVG Support plugin by benbodhi.  Add SVG file as an image, but it is best linked so that clicking on the image opens the SVG file in a new window.
2. setting of “Title” attribute so that it scripture references can be displayed as a tooltip with standalone SVGs.  eg. Click on family tree below to display the SVG drawing in a separate window and then hover over Jerimoth (under “Unknown mother(s)”) to see the tooltip: “2 Chronicles 11:18”.
