Hi guys,

First things first: We're in THIRD PLACE!  OMG man, I'm so jazzed about that.  I love being able to say that even for a brief moment, DHM was winning this here contest.  There's still a month to go, and a lot can happen in 40 days, but for now, we're there!

Okay, I'm about to head back into the world of DHM, but I wanted to share some inspiration images that I've found that describe the feel of the book. Now, these aren't mine, they are from artists on Deviantart, but they give you a better idea of what DHM is about.  First up is a hacker:
This is part of a painting called "Hostile Takeover" by Omen2501, and it does a great job of illustrating the sort of hacking gear Isidore RAM might be dealing with -- well, minus the pool of water (probably?).  I dunno, water might be an interesting medium for an interface. Hmmm...I'm going to need to think more on that.

Secondly is the racing mech:

This awesome concept was created by muzzoid on Deviantart. When Isidore heads into the world to investigate the mystery she stumbles on in the Grid, she gets caught up in a mech gang headquartered in the Tustin blimp hangers.  Granted, by this time Tustin is beachfront property, so that's a little different.

In any case, this is the sort of story I'm writing, and I hope it gets you excited to read it!  Now off to get some writing done so you CAN read it!

    Michael Sebby liked an update for Blood Dawn

    Greetings all!

    A few months back, I had announced the publication of a free short story prequel to Blood Dawn, called One Who Waits.  In this short story, we meet A'la, a boy in the Sun Priesthood whose father is about to kill him, and learn about how this experience leads to the events of Blood Dawn.

    Today, I'd like to announce that One Who Waits is no longer available for download from the Noisetrade site where it was hosted -- I've now published it on Amazon and Smashwords, for the price of $2.99, the first of many such complementary titles that spin off from the main epic Blood Dawn and its sequels will form.

    Click on the cover to buy it on Amazon:



    BUT you can still get it for free... IF you sign up for my newsletter!

    Upon subscribing to my newsletter, you will receive a link and coupon code to download One Who Waits for free from Smashwords. It's available in both epub and mobi (Kindle) on Smashwords, and you don't need an account to download a free book.

    So... do you want One Who Waits for free?  Click here to sign up for my newsletter -- you'll receive your download code within 48 hours.

    (If you've already signed up for my newsletter, the download code will be sent to all newsletter subscribers in the next monthly newsletter on December 11.)

    And if you like what you see in One Who Waits, then be sure to pre-order your copy of Blood Dawn on Inkshares!

    Thanks,
    John Robin
