Update for Monday the 11th of May:

I will update again when the time lapse video goes up, but as always if you'd like to see more of BrotherBaston's work you can check him out here:

Now in the little break I've had from writing I actually found myself back doing a bit of art again (it's been a long time and quite a bit of rust had to be knocked off) and I started working on a picture of Kira. It's a more realistic (if a bit rough around the edges) take on her character compared to what Patrick has done for me, but I decided to incorporate the scarf he gave her into it and call it finished.

 I'm also happy to report that Ghosts of War has pushed past the 50 orders mark but it's unfortunately quite a ways behind 5th place (100 orders to be precise), so I'm still in need of a lot of help to get this over the line in the next couple of weeks. So if you could help spread the word and try and bring in some orders it'd be greatly appreciated.

Every order counts.

Until next time guys.

Quick little follow up to yesterday's update.

It's Sunday update time...and it's an exciting one.

Today I received the first bits of art from Patrick Le Roux (BrotherBaston) and they've come out really cool. Here's a group shot of the four main characters that form Shadow Point.

I really like how they came out and I hope you all do too. There'll be a couple more character shots coming later this week so keep an eye out.

Some time soon he should be uploading timelapse videos of the creation of the above pictures, but I don't have a timetable on that as yet so I'll keep you posted.

As a short writing update, it's progressing well but after a solid month of writing I've decided to take a few days off over the weekend and will get back to finishing up the first draft this week. I'm into the last few chapters so hopefully it won't be too much longer till the draft is complete and then...rewrites.  

Also in case you missed it, earlier in the week I posted a new excerpt from the book, you can find it at the link below.

An excerpt from Chapter 6

And lastly, thank you to all the new backers in the last week, your support is really appreciated.

Until next time.

So here's some kinda cool news...

Yesterday there was a nice surge of pre-orders (thanks again to everyone who has pre-ordered so far) and Ghosts of War has moved up into 8th place overall. Let's hope things keep heading in that direction as the campaign progresses.

Now there's something else that has brewing behind the scenes for the last few days that I can now talk about. I am happy to announce that I have commissioned artist Patrick Leroux (BrotherBaston) to create some key art for the 7 main characters in Ghosts to provide a better idea of what they look like. Patrick's style should add a real nice edge to the characters and I can't wait to see what he comes up with and share it with you.
