Some free chapters of Halloween Knight, also me talking about the woes of self-publishing- you can pretty much read only half of this post and ignore the rest- haha...

Good day, dearest Reader!

I've been working hard on several projects, including the sequel to Xtreme Force, a guest post for a blog, but also the first segment for a new project: Halloween Knight!

This story revolves around mild-mannered music fan and pseudo-spoiled brat, Clara Stone, and her quest to make Halloween the greatest of Holidays. How? Why? Well maybe you should read some here and find out for yourself:

Enjoy the first four chapters right here!

Um, also here's some nice music to listen to. Pretty catchy and stuff.

Said and done, enjoy and check back often for updates.

Oh, also, the Channillo thing isn't working super well. I'm not saying it was a bad idea, because everything you do as a writer is a step to maturity, but I think I'm finding less and less of a need to rely on middle-man distributors to get my book around (Amazon and Smashwords don't count- I love you guys <3)

And to be honest, I really did feel bad keeping writing back and away from you guys. I much prefer to just give you guys things (and then engage you to naturally buy the rest of my writing *evil laugh*) rather than ask for an entry fee.

That said, the channillo.com idea is good, I love the site and the people who make it happen, however I think across sending stuff to them exclusively, writing things for free for you all, writing standard blog posts, writing guest blog posts (also exclusive) and writing stuff that I actually want to make money off of,it's become harder and harder to keep it all going consistently.

So yes, I'm thinking of stepping back a little, and focusing more on my personal platforms, which means more free stuff for all of you, (and also more stuff that I'll charge you for, *evil laugh again*).

All in all I think this will be the better direction, as I don't think Channillo yet has the audience to make it all work- when I can simply turn around and make the magic on amazon and other such sites that have over 100x the audience. I was charmed by Channillo because I loved the idea of serializing my writing, but truly, I now have the assets and knowledge to sorta do all of that by myself so I'm seriously thinking of cutting that tie. I feel rather silly, but I guess it's okay because some of the people I touted it to seem to really like it, but I feel it's less so for me.

Self-loathing done, expect a lot more tasty writing soon. Thank you for your time and attention!

Much platonic love,
Inky

The Release- Xtreme Manly Man Force of Intense Badassery: Book One

Greetings, beloved Reader- today's rather important. "Why?" you may ask? It is the release day for my recently finished book in the Xtreme Force series, the first of many to come.

This is only the first step, Reader. We'll get to know each other so well and have so many adventures together- who knows where we'll be in five years from now!

Anyway, a beginning to our Reader/Writer relationship bond can be found here on amazon.com. If you have amazon prime, it's free, if not, please tolerate the .99 cents price tag, because amazon won't let me make it free </3

Enjoy the epic tale, and read on to victory!

Much platonic love,
Kell

The Time Comes!

Hello, Reader- Wonderful news!

Xtreme Manly Man Force of Intense Badassery: Book One, is on its way to amazon.com- free for the first few (probably five) days!

I've decided on amazon prime first because of the very large viewer base available, to help increase awareness. Should this displease you, dear reader, and you want it on your nook or other non-Idevice/kindle, just let me know, and I should be able to work something out- just email me.

Stay tuned!

Describing the Omniverse 2: Dragon-kin part 2

And we'reeee back!

Next up is the extermination wars, and a very brief mention of a couple of important Dragon-kin characters you, dear Reader, will read of in the upcoming books.

Thousands of years ago during the rise of the kingdom of Reinen, the mightiest human kingdom in dimension #13's history, Humanity was threatened by the greatest kingdom of dragons (considered the only "real" one among most historians), known as Wyngog. It was a pretty huge chase down for awhile, most humans of the unconnected territories completely unknowing of Reinen's existence.

Between Wyngog and Reinen, the battle was drawn out, the strife lasting for thousands of years (and arguably still today with dragon-kin as a whole), and the war itself (popularly referred to as the "Extermination Wars") was eleven years long. As the human side had more resources, numbers, allies, magic, and territories, they eventually won out, executed the majority of the noble line of Royal Dragon-kin, and this is where things get a little dicey.

1/4th of the territories of the dragons were annexed by Reinen, and 3/4ths were devoted to a charismatic Ragnivanian general at the time, who strove to make his own kingdom, a man named Ultriel. General Ultriel was also at the forefront of incriminating the Dragons and Dragon-kin for their crimes against humanity- gaining him the nickname "The Executioner of The Scaled". His treatment of all dragon-folk is considered intensely brutal now, but at the time the mass-guillotinings were a fair punishment for the centuries of hardship their race had put the humans through. On the other side of the continent, Reinen had stopped the executions at the last of the nobles, and instead delegated the remaining Dragon-kin forces into reservation camps far away from human society, where they could live out their lives and maintain the culture under the eye of the Royal Knights of The Old Kingdom who, while being tasked with containing the Dragon-kin and preventing uprisings, are considered the only human organization that has ever been on even terms with Dragon-kin society.

Two notable Dragon-kin in the upcoming novels (both of them of the "Higher" Dragon-kin variety,) would be Hos'Rayull, an honorable, reserved creature that was raised by the knights from birth, and some mysterious badass named "KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL", at least, that's the name he goes by, because no matter the race, people who live in subspace are always missing at least one screw.

Turn in next time, in which we talk about Overlord Chaos!
