Greetings Destiny-followers,

Thanks so much for your excellent support. I awoke this morning (Seoul time) to see a pack of excellent writers nipping at the heels of Destiny Imperfect (third place is only two away). It would be tremendous if we could put some daylight between us and them. If you’re following Destiny Imperfect but have yet to hit the pre-order button, I’d love it if you could check it out again and consider doing so. If you have already pre-ordered Destiny Imperfect, grab your nearest and dearest and explain to them the critical nature of a video game-based book and its significance within the wider framework of reality. And then get them to pre-order! The contest has a long way to go and I could do with your help!

Have a great weekend.

Cheers,

Peter

Greetings...

Since everyone liked my update where I shined a light on the JPL. Here are some quick tidbits about the Vampire Legend: While vampires had been around in legend and even part of mass hysteria in eastern Europe very early on. It was the novel The Vampyre written in 1819 that got the ball rolling. Bram Stroker’s Dracula came about in 1897. 

In some legends, creating a vampire was as simple as having an animal jump over a corpse. In others, it was curse from God or Russian Witches. Still, to this day, my favorite method of destroying a vampire from legend:

Iron Nails ran through the chest followed by a Hawethorne stake through each leg. Bits of steel placed in the mouth, over the eyes, and in between the fingernails before burial. Then decapitation of the head, turn it around, fill the coffin with rosepedals and bury the damn thing. This wouldn’t actually kill the vampire mind you, only keep it trapped. As of 2006, they are still finding corpses being dug up with this treatment. 

Which in my head just means they set the vampires free right?

Oh right! Artwork! Speaking of being set free.... here is a scene painted by Lizzy Perez of The Seventh Age:

We are so close to 1000 orders guys. If you are following this campaign and haven’t jumped in yet: 27 spots left. I’m collecting more art such as what’s above for prize raffles when we hit the magic number. Hop in, follow the updates for more bite-sized facts about strange occult legends... and a kick-ass book about what happens when they all come crashing back. 

Hey guys, I’m just simply asking for recommendations, get the word out more than what it is. My brain is exhausted and my brain is running out of glucose. Headaches are setting in and the emotional turmoil is turning me into a dinosaur. 

Good morning!! As I promised, here is the first piece of the painting! The subsequent pieces will be revealed every 25 pre-orders from here on out :) And thanks to all of you I’m currently in 3rd place in the contest! I want to ride this momentum and push myself to write even harder this weekend :)

Friday update! That means its time for my first vlog! Which means it’s time for my first nightmare with editing and rendering problems galore...which means it’s more like an early Saturday update.
But whatever, here it is:
 

Also, in case I haven’t yet made it literally impossible to forget, please place your pre-order for Tantalus Depths if you haven’t already!

Race to 100 reviews on Amazon!

I even created a graphic for this sh*t so you know I’m serious! Right now we’re at 17 and we’re not stopping ’til 100 you dirty little monkeys!

LEAVE A REVIEW HERE!

 

Thank you guys for all the support! Get in there with those reviews! Remember you don’t have to write much, just a couple words an a couple stars will do!

Here is another fantastic rendering of an iconic image from Mission 51. In this scene, Petrus presents the finished ship, Janusia, to his son Mat. Artist Chris Pyke has captured it beautifully, a touching moment between father and son, the continuation of a painful goodbye. - Chris, all I can say is... Wow!!!

Who wants Chapter 2?

Hello Readers,

To all you now 72 readers who have subscribed to I Am Waltz, a big thank you as always!

I am wanting to upload Chapter 2 for your reading pleasure, but I am holding off a bit to encourage a bit of a push! We are currently at 42 pre-orders a great start, but far from 750!

Help me get this out there. Post links and get your friends to pre-order. Once we get to 100 Pre-orders, Chapter 2 will go LIVE! Woohoo!

This is going to be fun and I can not wait to share the rest of the book with you all. 

Thanks for everything,

Matt
