Atlantis Rising | Andrew J. Peters

I’ve been watching this trend over the past few months.

First, there was the announcement that fantasy author T.A. Barron will release the first title in a planned series: “Atlantis: Rising.”

Then, BBC announced that an epic mini-series “Atlantis” is in production and scheduled for airing in the Fall.

Now there’s the news from British media The BookSeller.com that Penguin and Amber Entertainment will collaborate on a book and film called “Atlantis Revelation.” Julian Fellowes, the creator of “Downtown Abbey,” will be Executive Producer of the film. The book, scantily described as an “action adventure,” has an anonymous author at this stage.

Fall 2013 is the season for Atlantis, including The Seventh Pleiade by Andrew J. Peters!!

I caught this story on Hypable. Fantasy author T.A. Barron (Lost Years of Merlin series, Great Tree of Avalon) has an upcoming book called Atlantis Rising.

I thought that was pretty cool since my Atlantis-inspired The Seventh Pleiade will be released around the same time. Will Fall be the season for Atlantis titles? Barron’s book comes out in September. Mine comes out in November.

According to T.A. Barron’s website, Atlantis Rising will be based on Plato’s account and will chronicle the legendary kingdom from its early history. The Seventh Pleiade takes the story from its very end (or is the destruction of Atlantis the very end?) So readers will have a chance to check out two perspectives, in surely very different styles.

I’m definitely going to check out Barron’s book. Will he check out mine? 🙂
