Publication: Vesuvius' Revenge

Vesuvius' Revenge is now published!

Hooray!

So yea...paperback is available.

If you would prefer a hardcover version, please message me (or comment below) and I will see what I can do.

eBook format is also available.

Still waiting to see if it gets accepted into eBook retailers. All of the other books have.

But now that I have googled the title...I realize an error...

I should have realized the character was named after that famous volcano that took out Pompeii...

Yea...apparently it's famous in history...

Oh well. It's still there, you just have to sift through the rest of it.

There will be more links and stuff too when the retailers get a hold of it and google starts posting links to those.

Update: Vesuvius' Revenge Picture...maybe?

Okay...so I finished this picture of a zealot helmet.



SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!




It's going to be a "chapter starter" for Vesuvius' Revenge.

I won't be sharing it yet because nothing is official.

I am sharing my excitement cause I'm too excited not to tell somebody.

I still have this one last step...

Because the zealot lore came out of Andrew Gray's head...there is a bit of artistic distinction that needs to be made with it.

So...in the next few hours, I will be waiting for his response regarding the picture's "accuracy" to actual zealot helmets.

I have a feeling it will not be quite what he had in mind.

But...it's got artistic value. So, who gives a fuck right? :P



But, I'm a formal coworker with this coauthor, so I'm going to wait for his response before I start turning this into actual paperwork.

In the end, I have been trying to work on this for months. It has been really hard for me to do. Visual art isn't really my best...style?

I can make some stuff easily...but some of it just doesn't come easily to me.

...

What? You want to see it?

No...I probably shouldn't...

...

I...I dunno...

...

Okay, you twisted my arm. I'll show you a draft version of what I am working with!

 This is not the finished piece though. This is just a draft version...

It's one of more than ten drafts that I went through to get to the final piece...

Don't hold your breath, Andrew Gray is pretty busy. So, we'll just have to wait and see what he thinks of it.

...

Again...not the final piece, so it is a bit more refined than this blocky piece.

What do you think of this draft piece?

Vesuvius' Revenge

Vesuvius' Revenge is just about finished.

Next step is publication...

So, we are debating on a publish date.

As soon as that is decided, we will let you know.

Update: Fall of the Honor Guard

Fall of the Honor Guard is just about ready for publication.

We are not done yet. It is going longer than we had planned.

Also...for those of you who are also wanting to read Vesuvius' Revenge...we have decided that this piece is unfinished...

We will be adding more to Vesuvius' Revenge and...I guess that will extend the publication and whatnot.

Think...Think...Think... I cannot!

I think...

I think...

Sorry, I got a hiccup in my thought process.

It seems to be happening to me quite often lately.

I almost repeated a scene from Dorm Haze right into the second book, which seems dumb...

So, I need to find my focus and make these mind hiccups go away.

Anybody got a good scare?





LOL

Any hiccup curing ideas? It has to apply to mental...not real hiccups.

You know?

Kay...so anyways...

Now that I remember...what I was talking about...

No...I don't remember...I was thinking about...



Oh right! I was thinking about publication and stuff...because there has been timing issues and hiccups in my brains...

My coauthor and I had hoped to have "Fall of the Honor Guard" published sometime this month...but I am starting to worry about whether this book will even be finished by the end of this month. It is getting quite difficult to finish.

I mean...we only have about three more chapters to go, but it moving very slowly due to time constraints with the rest of our lives and the hiccups happening to our tired minds.

I might have to take a break from writing this summer to rest up and juice up for the fall school semester.









NAH!







You know I cannot resist writing, no more than a nerd can resist reading their favorite novel over the summer vacation.

Besides, my summer vacation will be longer than most Americans' summer vacation will be. My semester won't even start until October.



Sooo...I guess this comes full circle and I am finally reminded of what I started this post for.

Publication dates are...far away...

Since Fall of the Honor Guard is not yet finished, and we are not entirely sure of how long it will take us to finish the last few chapters. (We really really want this final piece to be perfect before we finally publish the entire series.) So we will not be releasing publication dates for a while.

We do not want to mess up, under the possibility that it might take us longer than expected to finish "Fall of the Honor Guard"



So, we still do not know when we will be publishing the last of the "War of the Zealot Empire" series.

We won't publish book 5 before book 4...so it only makes sense that "Vesuvius' Revenge" and "Return of the Outcast" must wait for the completion of "Fall of the Honor Guard" so sorry...

Delaying Publication

It seems to be getting difficult. Delays are happening to the completion of "Fall of the Honor Guard"

I'm getting quite a few messages asking about when this book and the next ones are coming out.

Patience people...

We only started publishing this series last year...sometime around August if I remember correctly.

Most authors have years between each book and we have already published Entangled Hearts, Sins of an Empire and Vesuvius' Rise. And that's just the books I have published with my coauthor.

You guys don't even know what work goes into the publishing part of it all.

It's not just handed over to some expert or something like that...

I do all the work myself.

I format the internal pages...

I make the cover.

I upload every single file.

I create the chapter starters...





In the end, it is more work than just the writing...

We still have quite a few chapters to go, and after it is completed, I will have to format it for publication.

So...

fans...

readers...

random readers passing through my blog...

The publication of Fall of the Honor Guard won't come for quite some time. And it will not be until it is published that we can release publication dates for Vesuvius' Revenge and Return of the Outcast.
