Vambrace – Final Cover
Here is the final cover for Vambrace: Keaton Clarke’s Tale!
February 17, 2016
Vambrace – Blurb
Vambrace is coming together nicely for its February release. The latest step completed is the Blurb.Let me know what you think!
A vintage game remastered.
A retro boss looming.
A cocky player annoyed.
Industry Giant Tornado Tech has finally released a new version of their breakout arcade game hit Vambrace and Keaton Clarke is primed and ready to play it hard all night long. Every nook must be delved into as deep as possible and Keaton Clarke is just the gaming master to do it.
But not all games are created equal and Vambrace hides a terrible sensual secret within its coding. The game pulls off the gauntlet to challenge Keaton, the self described master of all things Vambrace, directly and he needs to be ready for an entire new kind of challenge, whether he wants to take it on or not.
As the digital labyrinth falls into pixelated panic an important question remains unanswered. What kind of retro game experience would secretly plot against its own players? More importantly to Keaton is his own personal question, “What do you mean this story isn’t all about me?”
Warning: Contains m/m situations and pixelated monster banging.

Vambrace Cover – Stage One
The first stage of the Vambrace Cover is finished. The characters are the second stage to be made, in case you were wondering why it looks a bit blank.
Does this cover remind you of anything?

Welcome to Gentalia, a land of magic, excitement, and elfbutt.
Hello and welcome to the official page for the books in the Annals of Gentalia series! If you are under the legal age for your country turn away now. You shouldn’t be here. Shame on you (and learn how to spell Genitalia)! Otherwise feel free to look around!
Currently the following books are either out, or in production.
The Anders’ Quest Series: One elf’s journey though the sexually charged world of Gentalia.
Breakers of the Code – Out! Read a sample here: HERE!
Fighters of the Code – In Final Editing! Look for it in March!
Somethingerothers of the Code – Fully written, and in first editing!
Annals of Gentalia Quickies: Little tastes of Gentalia. Best of all they are free! (Once they are out) Tornado Tech has worked on more games than their MMORPG Annals of Gentalia. Could these other games been corrupted as well? (Of course they have! Otherwise the stories would be horribly dull!)

Chicken Pugget
This week (after a long holiday break) my writing group could just not think up a word to do for our Flash Fiction Writing Slam! I suggested that we go to Google, type in the word ‘Crazy’, and write about the 18th picture that showed up.
This is that picture. Sorry original photographer, but I have no idea how to credit you, this picture turned up everywhere in searches, and now it is here as well! If it is yours, let me know and I will credit you.
Chicken Pugget
Whimper.
Aristotle looked over at me longingly. I had to avert my gaze in shame.
“No,” I said, my voice riddled with guilt, “these are not for you!”
He returned a look to me that I understood all too well. That was the look that didn’t say “Yes they are for me, as I am cute!”, it was the look that said “Those are not for YOU either.”
He was right. I shouldn’t be eating these. I had made a promise, not just to myself, but to Steve, Aristotle, and everyone at the used video store when I bought my new Jazzercise VHS tape.
“Look, it was a busy day at the rollercoaster repair shop, I didn’t want to cook tonight.”
Whimper.
I wasn’t going to get away with it that easy, I could tell, but I had to try.
“You shouldn’t be eating these either you know. They are bad for dogs!”
Whimper.
“I’ll do an extra set of Jazzercise tomorrow okay? It is my weekend.”
Whimper.
“Okay fine, just one! But don’t you dare tell anyone Stots!”
The flung nugget was devoured in one swift dribble dusted bite.
“I wouldn’t dream of telling anyone Angela, this will be our little secret.” Aristotle said, licking his lips with his oversized tongue.
“Oh right, I always forget you can speak one sentence after eating a chicken nugget.”
Whimper.
It went weird at the end there, I admit.
If you have 15 minutes to write about this picture, what would you have written about?

Introducing: Crafts! Series 1
Introducing the very first official Annals of Gentalia merchandise! (Besides the books of course!)
I have absolutely no idea how you could quickly order one if you wanted one… I probably need to set up an official shop on this website or on Amazon or something. But you can still be the first non Beta-Reader to own one of these hand-crafted (by the Author no less) crafts! If you wish to own any of the Series One Ornaments, contact me directly through this website! (They cost $8 each, but buy more and save!)
They come in three varieties. Hanging Dangler, Magnetic Stick it to Things, and the Special Edition Action Ready which comes with neither convenience!
Series One Contains:
Anders, Fournimer, Palcath, Roodg, Lissa, and Mr. Max!
Anders Perler!
Palcath Perler!
Fournimer Perler!
Roodg Perler!
Lissa Perler!
Mr. Max Perler!

Fighters of the Code and the Editing of Scrutiny
For those that are interested, the giant Fighters of the Code (which is the name of Book 2) edit is nearing completion. It looks like it will be out of my hands at the end of December.
That means that in January I will be looking for… Not beta readers, I had those already, but beta editors.
Do you wish to be part of something bigger than yourself? I suggest volunteer work, it is satisfying.
But if you have ever wanted to be a freelance editor, then let me know and I will appreciate it.
Editors get a free copy of the finished book, and an author made gift! Editors that love in my city also get a rough book to do edits in, that is printed and
signed, and a collector’s dream!
