Two quick notes.
1. We have officially moved to the Draft Stage and need to start building a community of Readers and potential Backers! (previously, this group has been almost exclusively made up of Inkshares authors interested in submitting an entry for possible inclusion in the anthology)
2. We have a temporary cover! (check it out)
Hello Champions!
I don’t know about you guys but I had a cool day yesterday: I got to read the first chapter of Champions of the Third Planet to the fourth and fifth graders at Mid-City’s Prescott School of Enriched Sciences here in Los Angeles.
It’s been a looooong time since I was in elementary school but the students and teachers and Principal Panes were very welcoming and highly enthusiastic. I also got to leave before anybody gave out homework.
This was the first time I’ve read any of the book to anybody and I thought the reaction was FANTASTIC -- I hope the kids agree. The room got really quiet when I started to read about Milo and the Orb, the kids seemed to spark to the idea and asked me a lot of great questions afterward -- I really, really enjoyed it. Hopefully I can return when the book is on the shelves...

I should have mentioned this previously - we’re shooting for wide audience appeal and as such the Anthology will be family friendly G or PG rated.
