Landon Trine liked an update for REB1RTH

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.

      Landon Trine liked a review for Fortunes of the Space Sloth
      Fortunes of the Space Sloth begins with what seems to be an underachiever in a universe of travelling via black holes. There's something engaging about the dichotomy of how advanced technology is, versus the level of slack the protagonist tries to get away with. Not only does the world seem three dimensional and engaging, the reader is comfortable with the new world they find themselves in.
