Julian Green and Finn Mcrae liked an update for Ghosts of War

Hey everyone,

There’s been a bit of a break between updates, but things are sort of at a point where weekly updates don’t really make sense anymore. So from now on they’ll be going out when there’s actually something to update you all about.

This is one of those times.

Some of you may have noticed that there’s a new cover. If not, well, there’s a new cover. 

Since Ghosts is being published under Quill, cover design isn’t something that’s......covered. 

To use my existing concept, I would have had to probably re-draw/paint the whole thing from scratch since it was just a cobbled together, photoshop thing. I wasn’t wholly confident in my ability to produce something publishable in that style, so I decided to try out some simpler designs.

What I’ve settled on is something that’s a bit more traditional, and feels like a more polished version of the very first cover I ever did for Ghosts. I’m pretty happy with it and I hope you all like it as well.

When I finished the cover I was in a bit of a creative groove, and in a move that’s part ’getting ahead of myself’, and part ’being prepared’ I did up some covers for the 2 sequels to Ghosts.

Here’s all three together:


What’s a Kylgor? Why does it have a shadow? And what’s in that shadow?

You’ll just have to wait until later in the year to find out...

Oh! I almost forgot... Writing is chugging along. Think of me like a duck on the water: Calm on the surface. Furiously flapping my feet at a keyboard beneath it. 

I will leave you with that image.

Until next time...

    Epic Update time Rebels!

    Finn and I have been REALLY busy. So busy in fact we haven’t had time to thank all of our supporters and followers. So here’s a big thank-you from the both of us. Shortly followed by some new and extra material being added for your reading pleasure. 

    What have we been doing?
    Glad you asked. After taking some feedback from our half dozen alpha readers we set ourselves some pretty big goals for developing the MS. We wanted to get the bulk of this done before we concentrate on marketing. Remember our goal is to make this the best damned story we can. Here’s a rundown. 
    • We decided to gender swap two of the characters. This involved a search and destroy mission for a truckload of he’s she’s himself herself etc and swap them around. (By doing so we inadvertently created a slight homoerotic overtone to one scene which was funny to fix). 
    • We also decided to remove the chapter headings for stylistic reasons and add some weirdly revealing location tags.
    • We added a minor supporting character or three and wrote additional scenes for some of the main characters.
    • We added a subplot to heighten action at the 3/4 mark of the novel.
     Are we finished?
    We have big ’ol chunk of it done. After editing like mad, I’ve declared the first third of the book done. We’re not looking to fiddle with it again until the helpful staff at Girl Friday productions start pointing out things. We set ourselves a goal to get these changes bedded down by the end of the month and we are well on our way to achieving that. Half a dozen more sleepless nights and we can start marketing more seriously. So now we have lots of text to reveal for you getting the word out about this project. In addition to our prizes of your name in the second book and a nifty piece of artwork. 

    What’s next?
    We’re going to make pests of ourselves, whenever and wherever we can. I’d like to hear from other Authors about what’s worked for them, but really we need exposure. So if you read the new chapters and want to read the rest . . . help our dream come true and tag someone on Facebook. Show people who you think might be interested. Dead tree or bust rebels dead tree or bust.
