Hello, friends. If you happen to own a paperback copy of The Betrayed, hold on to it tightly, as there will be no more like that. A second edition of the book is coming out soon, and it will feature a new, pimped-up cover art, by Anton Kokarev. I am in the process of redesigning the covers, and they shall never be the same again.
Ladies and gentlemen, today I received the first proof of the third, penultimate volume of The Lost Words series. It’s called The Forgotten, the cover was designed by a kickass artist Anton Kokarev, and it’s amazing, as evident from the images below. Need I say more?
In some parts of the world, it is customary to receive gifts on your birthday. I prefer the Hobbit method, where you give presents, so you actually receive them every day rather than once a year. A very neat concept, no. Now, in a couple of weeks, my primary site Dedoimedo celebrates the end of its eighth year of existence, hence gifts. For you.
Now that I’m done with my anti-hero Rennaissance fantasy novel and my first-person zombie novella, I decided to try yet another new angle at writing. So my curiosity took me to 8th Century BC, the Biblical times. As a man with a very particular taste for religion, or rather lack thereof, writing from a biblical point of view is a most refreshing challenge for me.
I am pleased to showcase the cover art for the upcoming third book in The Lost Words series. This time around, I have commissioned the awesome Anton Kokarev of kanartist.ru, to create the cover for me. As always, it’s a divine motif from the book. Now, I will also be redesigning the art work for the first and the second book in the series, and I will call upon Anton’s talent for those, as well.
This time, it’s the zombie novella. Overall, it took me about two weeks of active writing to finish it. Well, maybe less. But finished it is. Now, it’s not a great body of words, only 14K, but for the first installament in a crazy series, I guess it’s cool enough. You might wonder what’s so special about this zombie piece that you haven’t seen anywhere else before?
In just 34 days! And it’s 102K words! This averages to about 3K words a day, and it’s my new personal record, when we compare it to my best achievement so far, the third, penultimate and upcoming book in The Lost Words series. Now, let me tell you a bit about this new book.
Yes, I am being benevolent again, sooner than expected. Next week, a lot of cool things are going to happen. On Tuesday, May 6, The Broken is going to be free for 24 hours. The morning after, Wednesday, May 7, the first book in my epic series, The Betrayed will be free for a whole of one day. Amazon, Kindle edition, PST timezone. But there’s more.
Dear ladies and gents, I am pleased to announce that my first book in The Lost Words epic fantasy series, The Betrayed, has been reviewed by Readers’ Favorite. The review is highly positive, five stars yup, so this is a great opportunity to share some.
This is like the shortest post EVAR in the history of Internet posts. Books, Amazon, free, now, enjoy, you’re welcome. The Betrayed, as we speak till tomorrow night, The Broken, starting Thursday till Friday.
