Wednesday Rants: July 2014 #1

Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to another round of random ranting. There are things that I am going to have to discuss, as I am sure you may have questions. So let us begin.

[Arcana Magi]

You may have noticed by now that I had released some stories from 'Arcana Magi' onto Amazon Kindle. Well there are a few reasons for this; 1) After having received a notice regarding 'Beyond Logic Vol.1' when I was updating the Amazon Kindle release with a book cover, I wanted to make sure that everything was okay regarding publishing, and it is. 2) Because of this event, I figured this was a good opportunity to try a little something for this upcoming Season... 5. That's right, 'Arcana Magi' will be 5 year old having debut on Fictionaut in 2009. 3) Therefore, since 'Arcana Magi Zero', the first in the series, is 5 Years Old, I decided to give it the Amazon Kindle release.

As for 'Arcana Magi Rush', I want it included in 'Compilation of Prose and Thought' for House Publishing because, I feel it is a strong story that exemplifies what I discussed regarding female characters. It is also an awesome story to get published with my other shorts since its giant robots versus dragons. Finally I feel it is a good representation of the entire 'Arcana Magi Universe' on a Publishing House scale.

There will be more on the 5th Anniversary as October nears.

[New York Comic Con]

It's that season again, New York Comic Con. (http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/) So I got myself a Professional Badge for a second year in a row. I will be wandering the halls once again, but I have good news. I was able to register for a 1 Hour Autograph Session and it is under review. The results will occur next month. If accepted, I will be autographing copies of 'Tales From Arcana Magi' and 'The Impossible Man' Amazon book covers for free. I had thought about doing a panel, but I think this year may not be a good time. I want to take this one step at a time. Plus I don;t know what I would do aside from talking about the above 2 stories and Q&A. I want to get a little more stuff under my belt, like an actual publication from a house before tackling the Panels. So, I'll let you all know if I get a booth, and provide all the info needed to come see me and get a chance to meet me, finally.

[NJ Game Demo Night]

Thank you to all who had come by my table and played my board game Splatterbomb. Big thanks to Brian Chung for hosting the event and International game Developers Association for sponsoring it. Check out the sweet photos of all the awesome games and fans. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152507671090569.1073741831.141515290568&type=1

[Compilation of Prose and Thought]

This book that I have made features a compilation of my 'Thoughts on Writing' that are featured here in my Blogspot, but I also include a selection of Short Stories, many of which never been released, to showcase my writing abilities. This here is a list of what the shorts chosen for this work;

Days of Fate and Destiny
De x Maquina Chronicles
Beyond Logic - The Spectral Line
The Parody Writer and His Gluteus Maximus
Lorhavyn
Arcana Magi Rush
A World Onto Our Hands

A mixture of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Comedy and Poetry, written in many different ways. Hopefully, once I suceed in getting this published and into bookstore, everyone can enjoy a buffet of different tales and styles, and see what I bring to the table.

So that is all I have on my mind this month. Next week is 'Audio Readings: Feral' as well as Free 'Shell' Friday. Be sure to get your free copy, as always.

Until Next Time...

See ya.
