Thanks for the support, I just posted a new comment from my glossary of the novel. I am working on a potential cover art for the book, though my source is certainly a third party because I’m not talented enough for such things. I hope that you guys find my updates at least readable and followable and is interesting enough to share with others the excitement I have when I post and write about these things. Thanks again for the support, enjoy.

Updated some entries in my glossary section at the end of the book. In my story there are a couple distinct groups of soldiers that are mentioned; Defenders, Knights and Guardians. It is also mentioned later in the novel that the Raptor Battalion, the unit of soldiers that are focused on in the story, are considered Elite Knights.

I’ve seen a lot of positive response since I put it on pre-order.  Thanks to my first pre-order, Seth. He’s known about this for several years and he let me know that he’s been ready for it. 

I’ve done it...I’ve posted for pre-orders and I’m actually looking forward to trying to sell my novel. If you haven’t checked out at least one of the chapters, I recommend you do so. It is a draft, so there will be errors, but I aim to correct those in the final.

I think when I post over here, I’m going to set it up like: Background "glossary" type information. I’m not really sure where I can type this out and post it all, I guess I can type it out as a chapter and then post it in the drafts. I might do that later, but for now, I’m going to be posting this into the comments of the story.

So a little background information on this story. It had originally begun as a concept for a movie that myself and an old high school friend were trying to come up with back in ’02. The start of the concept was the Aerion and Urrizen, two human worlds of the same system, were at war with each other and during a campaign, the Princess Liandri and Jake Morose (name changed later), fought on opposite sides of the war, until they met and we get a standard romantic twist of them being on opposite sides. Of course we tried to toss in a twist with the idea that an alien intervention disrupts the war during a final campaign against Aerion with an additional twist that a human years ago had been genetically altered as a hybrid, and that father happened to be Jake’s dead father. 
My friend and I decided that I would write and he would work on the visual aspect. I started writing what we have here, though I morphed it into a slightly different version of what is posted now in my drafts.  Some more story history later.

I’ve finished chapter thirty-one and I’ll be typing up the next one today.  My current word count is 94k. I’m looking for a final word count near 110k. It might seem a little low, but the size from what I can tell is a normal paper back size for a sci-fi novel. I had to break book one up because of what I’ve done in my rewrite. I think that I’ll be working on maybe an origins series of comments. I realize that I’m going to have to keep a continuing update on what I’m doing with this to generate a base of readership, so for those who are following keep an eye for updates on this comment thread.

    Those who are following the book, please recommend it as I want to hit fifteen followers before I offer Pre-orders. Click on recommend and make comments. Even better if you get a chance to read at least the first chapter.

I found it a challenge to present my "idea" in so few words,  and honestly I think that my brief description fails to capture how in depth this novel will be. I would normally post this under a science fiction, but I had somebody read through the first chapter a year ago and comment that it really was a space opera which I didn’t even know was a viable genre aside from the listing in the TV Guide about Star Wars.
