Survivors of the warp, hello again.

It is a beautiful moonlight night here as I write this message and bring you some good news!

If you remember the road map I gave 48 hours ago, you will remember 4 things being on my list for the very near future. And I am happy to say, 2 of those are checked, stroked and have drawings of cakes and balloons over them! (I need to stop, now...)

First, I have to thanks a whole lot Landon Trine for the beautiful cover art. He contacted me for the cover and I have to say, he did a wonderful job on the cover in such a small time. If you want to help me thanks Landon, go on his page and look at his books and follow/pre-order what you like, recommend, review. He deserves any positive attention you can give him.

Second, as promised, a new chapter is up, called And They Fought till Dawn. Go read it. I’ll wait.

You are back? Gives you more clues on the style of the book than a prologue doesn’t it? What? The redaction thing? Let me explain.

In Chapter Nine, Chimera talks at some point about her past with Sliver, a character we see a few times in the previous chapters of the book and I thought, ’If it isn’t for this part being a bit of a spoiler, this chapter is just perfect as a preview. Combat, discussion, mystery. It has everything the book loves.’ So, I had to cut that part unfortunately. Sorry about it. I promise I will keep the spoiler redaction to a minimum in the future samples.

So, now that those two elements are done, what’s next this time?

1. The book is still in the same state it was. I haven’t had the time to do any writing between the day job and edition. So that will come next. Until then, I will be laying low on excerpt. I might post a quote or two from characters here and there as I see them.
   
2.   Also in the short term scope, the video. As much as I dread having to do a video with my voice, I will be looking into something for the video as I can see the importance of such a media piece. More on that in the close future.  
3.   Replacing the two marked off elements on the list are small excerpt, apart from the book to wet your appetite on the world REB1RTH builds into. Character bios, creature logs, city descriptions, etc. These most likely will end up in a free online companion piece or as a compendium at the end of the book.  
4. Finally, I need to get my advertisement shirt on and start reaching out further than I feel comfortable doing so. Currently, I have been running a silent campaign outside of my personal social medias.

While this update is getting long, I would like to quickly end with a list of people I thankful about:

•  Landon Trine, for the cover. Can’t thank you enough.
  
• J-F Dubeau, for giving me the final push into jumping on the contest. Go give his books a look.
• The Nerdist people, for the contest.
• Inkshares members for the wonderful.
• Every single one of you giving this project attention.

On this note, I will return to the moon’s glow and keep on plotting the destructi- eh, I mean continuation of this world of mine.

Volvary, out.

Hey, everyone who decided to follow! You’re all awesome. Who knew this novella would bring in the most attractive people on Inkshares?  I look forward to checking out all of your books.

 Thanks to some kickass typography from an author with one of the coolest drafts I’ve come across, Rebekka S. Leber, I have a cover. So... I’m diving into the Nerdist contest! I’m working on getting an excerpt ready to show to the world, so expect that soon.

Good luck to my esteemed opponents... and happy gaming.

Hey everyone!

Howdy Again All!

Greeting Jackolytes,

They say the Devil makes work for idle hands, and I’ve got enough of the Devil in me not to stay idle for too long. Currently Jack and his ride are in the Inkshares shop receiving tender ministrations from the folks in the production team. To keep busy, I’ve decided to jump into the most recent Inkshares contest.

The result is Destiny Imperfect. I know you’ve already dug deep for Sync City, but it’d be truly awesome if you could spare the time and money to back the new project. If Destiny Imperfect is in the top three at the end of the contest in six weeks’ time, then I get full production backing at Inkshares – something WELL worth having.

Dig deep, spread the love and Jack will have a stablemate to keep him company! Get on board and pre-order at: Destiny Imperfect. It’d mean the world to me … and probably beer for you …

Cheers,

Peter

I am feeling dizzy with gratitude! This was truly a special night. Mission 51 reached a funding milestone in a truly heartwarming way. I simply asked on Facebook, and friends responded. We now sit a 100 pre-orders! I am overjoyed!

Thank you Marie Nall for helping us get there, and Sally Johnson Reed for your friendship and support! You are the greatest! :-)

And a very special thank you to Michael Haase and wife Margie, who took time off from new baby duties, to dial the pre-orders up to 100! Thank you!! :-)

Michael, as you all must know, is the author of The Madness of Mr. Butler, winner of the Nerdist Space Opera Contest (in production), and of An Adventure With Dada which is currently in funding. Please give them both a look and send some love his way! :-)
