♥ ﾟ*｡ Happy Zaldizko Day ﾟ*｡♥

Zaldizko goes live on sale tomorrow with all prices set and ready.  I have had some last minute corrections applied that will be updated within 72 hours. I'm not expecting a rush of sales, so all good.There is so much history that backs this story, dating all the way to 2006.  I began the Seriphyn Knight journey as a way to cope with the stresses and boredom of life.  It eventuated into a series. The highlight for this story is the encouraging comment I had received from t...

New Look I'm Kita Duran

I've finished doing a complete revision of I'm Kita Duran due to Createspace's merger with Amazon KDP. 

It was an opportunity to fix up the dodgy grammar and add in some supporting scenes that I thought up after the fact.  One addition was more of Saski's observation on Duran, when he was deciding whether our protagonist was a bad guy or not (falling in love in the process).  I may have became more automated toward the last chapter.  I think I've fixed up a lot of the gramm...

1K Blessings For Honest Readers

Thanks to a brave and honest reader, I was able to correct my content rating mistake for Zaldizko. I also made some revisions to some of the graphic scenes in the book, hopefully reducing their impact and impressions.

Luckily, I was able to resubmit the revised manuscript before release date 15/02/2019. It wouldn't be nice to realise after the fact that I had done such a boo-boo. That is why beta readers are very important before proper publications.

On Webnovel and Wattpad, I've now attached a...

Original Music Makes: Revolutionary

The push for Zaldizko has taken priority over the next volume in this series. Unfortunately, it will be a long time before I can work on and publish volume two.

In the mean time, I plan to release one-shot stories for events after volume one.  These can be read for free at Wattpad.

The central theme of the one-shots as per below:
Duran Kita is performing for the life of the Hotaka Music Club,  before a two thousand seated audience.   

He must win an overall place within the...

Hitting Strides With Zaldizko

I'm almost at the halfway mark with my story and likely to hit my end of year target and intended go to market of February 2019 for paperback and specially formatted ebook versions.

It has taken a short 12 years to reach this point and I'm, so far, happy with the results.

The story is available for reading at Wattpad now.

Note: the cover at Wattpad will be the cover for the paperback and special ebook versions as well.

Zaldizko Progress

I'm impressed with myself.  Why? Because I'm finally making progress with my new Seriphyn Knight draft.  If I continue at the pace I'm at, I'll expect to have the first volume of the series released around July.

I've simplified the name to Zaldizko and have described in detail the terminology of things that would be important for the revised version of In Anwar's Care.

About Zaldiko
The story is told through a first person perspective as per In Anwar's Care. The protagonist is Famine w...

Happy Birthday Duran Kita

Today is the birthday I granted my fictional friend :).  I can't believe it has been almost two years since I released Duran's story in I'm Kita Duran.  Looking back, I'm quite proud of myself for actually finishing something.
Writing a story is never any easy journey for me. As I'm constantly riddled with distractions, interference, troubles and all sorts of burdens that real life can bring.   I'm not so fortunate that I can make creative writing my living. However, I have...

Evolving Out of Web Fiction

It's been my Achilles heel for some time - web fiction.  I love to write out the weirdness pooling around my brain regardless of audience presence. Although, I don't know of a writer who doesn't write for one. Even if it's an imaginary mob in one's head.

The more I keep to my method of posing and sharing my fiction through blogger and other free-for-all post-share-as-you-go channels, I realise writing this way is a lonely world.  It always makes me feel as if I've been dumped into th...

Restart Resolutions: Zaldiko Aldeketa

Phew!  I've had one hell of a year, which I'd sum up as a tiredness borderline depression. I'm far from achieving my writing goals.

That's okay.  I'm now able to restart the challenge again.  So I commence with volume one of the Seriphyn Knight Chronicles.


Zaldiko Aldeketa


This volume outlines the demise of four brothers who were kidnapped from an old world temple by a despot organisation known as the Illuminate, and imprisoned within a fortress city called Apocalypse.
