Today is one of those rare Friday nights when I actually have plans, so I’m announcing the winner early!
The next queen joining the cast of Bad Medicine: Slay it Queen! is Miss Peaches Putnam (AKA Holly Masi)
Peaches Putnam is a shoe obsessed queen, known in the drag community for her Cirque Soleil-style performances.
Congratulations Holly!
Remember you can win too. Pre-order, send me your drag name and you can be a character in the book.
Also, I have new concept art. This time from French comic artist, Pier Caltafer. The way he imagined Bad Medicine is very Jinx Monsoon look alike. I’m also loving the post-apocalyptic New York City.
Seen my book through the eyes of so many diverse artists gives me life!
Finally, I will be posting the second chapter this weekend. It is a meaty one and full of surprises. I hope you like it.
Have a fierce weekend!
Lore Update:
Deep space mining has become a crucial part of humanity’s expansion across the stars, and Exotech is the undisputed leader in the field. The surveying expedition to Tantalus 13 is but one of hundreds in one of the most lucrative ventures in the galaxy.
With thousands of probes scattered across the galaxy searching for valuable new worlds to exploit, it’s perhaps inevitable that Exotech would be the ones to stumble across a find like Tantalus 13. For mining, Tantalus 13 is barely worth the effort, yet Exotech clearly believes otherwise. How much do they know about what lies beneath its surface? What is it they expected SCARAB might find there? For that matter...are they ready for it?
Find out now when you pre-order Tantalus Depths!
DEAR DAX HARRISON READERS, FANS, PASSIVE FOLLOWERS, ETC...
Hello, all.
I try to update as frequent as possible since these are the last few days. However one of you wrote something very interesting. I hope you don’t mind my sharing it with everyone.
"This book sounds like modern day relationship issues, yet it is an ancient story newly written by the author! Very artistic!"
Thank you very much. Yes, that’s pretty much the idea. I wrote it this way because all of us are in some sort of relationship, everything we do, there is a relationship or interaction with another person or even an object. There’s no way to exist on earth without being in some sort of relationship with something or someone. A relationship doesn’t always mean romantic love. They can exist with no love or emotions at all. Like for example; the appliances in your home. There’s no love for them on any level but yet you have an interaction with them every day.
But I know that isn’t what the commentator meant. I wrote it this way to exhibit the fact that no matter how far back we go into human history we will find the same emotions and ideology existing today and even if you move forward into the distance future these emotions will still be there because they are what human beings are made of. As nefarious as they can sometimes be, that’s human.
Now getting back to the commentator, no, these are not modern day relationship issues. They have been around since the dawn of humanity. It just seems they are modern because people express their opinion more often and openly today than in the past.
Have a great weekend. :D
Hello Knightmares!
We have 7 days left in the campaign, and we’re sitting pretty at 260 orders. If you’re still looking to buy a book, grab one now while I’m still offering free stuff!
In the meantime, check out my next book, VEXED, that is still in a draft phase. I am going to take my time with this one, but check it out as I start to ramp up content, post excerpts, and put together a trailer in the coming months. If you liked The Knightmares, VEXED will blow you away.
In the meantime, please take a look at Mothering- The Game! It has under a week left and is SOOOOO close to hitting its campaign goal! It deserves to get published!
I’ve never been so thankful for a Wednesday.
First of all, A Beast Requires is closing in on a 100 backers! So far 93 people have pre-ordered 115 copies of the book, pushing it towards that first hurdle of 250 pre-orders. Yea, it’s pretty damn awesome. What isn’t awesome is that this entire month has gotten away from me. There was a carefully orchestrated schedule of events and a timeline set in place, that went out the window to find a shallow grave in the backyard. Granted my entire backyard is a shallow grave, see as it’s the place where good grass comes to die.
See, I have this job, right? It’s at night, doesn’t pay great, and ever so slightly eats away at your soul. It’s difficult to describe, mostly because of the sort of work they do. Say you’re out at the zoo, and you’re walking through the primate house, unless your zoo doesn’t have a primate house, which would make me sad. But let’s say hypothetical zoo has a hypothetical primate house, full of hypothetical primates. Now there is a spot in this hypothetical primate house, where hypothetical primates fling hypothetical poo. There’s no avoiding the spot, no matter how much you try, and before everyone leaves, they are always pelted with hypothetical poo. My job is to block the exit and ask you which hypothetical poo smells the hypothetical best.
On Monday I gave them my two week notice. On Monday I was offered a much better job. It will take me a few days to adjust to a new work schedule, but it will be much more conducive to updates. With 70 days left in the campaign, there’s a lot to get done, and expect the videos to start returning next week. Thank you all for supporting A Beast Requires. Without knowing it, you’ve all helped keep me sane and helped me to survive the hypothetical house of poo.
