Actually, it's the sixth here. Revenge of the Sixth sounds better anyways.
Okay, I just googled it, and apparently there is actually a fight in the Star Wars universe about whether it should be Revenge of the Fifth, or Revenge of the Sixth. Sixth works better, but the fifth is right after the fourth so....
I'm passing it to you guys. Should it be Revenge of the Fifth or Revenge of the Sixth?
Technopath
I'm finally done with the final checks and formatting, so here you go!
The link below should take you to the landing page. I'll have it up on Amazon and Kobo soon, and I'm hoping to put the price as free, so don't worry if you lose or delete this email.
Technopath follows Tia, a young girl caught out on the streets of the undercity at night. She meets a boy from the Upper City, and together they're ambushed by demons. It was originally going to be marketed as Dennovan's origin story, and to a certain extent it is, but.... Well you'll see.
I'm going to take a detour here, and ask about the cover. While I told the cover artist the character is thirteen, looking at it, I'm having the biggest "13 or 30" question mark floating over my head. What do you think? Does Tia look 13 or 30?
Book covers. No not these ones
Did you know selling book covers is a thing? It's actually pretty fun scrolling through artists who are trying to sell their premade covers, even though I don't have the money to buy many. (Book covers can be $500-$1000 by high end designers.)
Anyway, I found a set in back in Feb that I loved. Absolutely loved, but I had no story for. Since then I've checked in on them, but my rule is always I'm not allowed to buy book covers until I have a book for them. The rule stops me impulse buying and spending money that should be for editing. Since I didn't even have a story for these covers, I couldn't justify buying them.
UNTIL....
Yesterday I finally had an idea that would fit with these covers. It slots into one of my already established universes, and would be a good side series for it - another way for people to get into the world. Even better I wrote the original series with the intention of having that particular cover artist do a cover for them, because her work is awesome, but not entirely fit for my undercity heroes series.
So now it's a race against time. Can I write and finish a book before someone else buys the covers? Can I write a book in a week? (experience tells me yes, I can) I'm going to try. Wish me luck people, I'm going to need it.
Book Giveaways for the month:
Well, I'm obviously going to have my nose in my laptop for the rest of the week, but I thought you might like to keep checking out some free books. The two giveaways are Flights of Fantasy and Free Fantasy and Sci Fi Books.
Please let me know whether any of the books are worth pulling my eyes from the screen. I've already downloaded some, but I feel like I won't be getting the chance to read them on Fridays like usual.
No matter the day, May the Force be with you.
