What About That Cover?

Cover Reveal ApproachingThe final touches on Prossia are underway, so it's only a matter of putting everything together. One of the final items to be covered is the cover, which was finished this past week. Be on the lookout for the reveal to the new and improved version of my first novel. Now, if I could just get to that prequel...

Let’s Talk About the Prequel

Oi. With all this talk about republishing Prossia, it's probably easy to forget that a prequel will be coming right off its shoulders. Operation: Sand Gnat (I love my code names for things :P) will be available this November in digital format for free. Yep. You heard me. Free FREE FREE. I've explained before that readers shouldn't have to wait 3 years for an author to produce another book. So, here's my way of saying, "My bad!"
So, what can one expect from a Prossia prequel? Wel...

Operation Pirate Bee Ad 10

What the Heck Is Pirate Bee???

I really haven't opened up a great deal about my other projects beyond Prossia, so I know a lot of people are scratching their heads whenever I post something about Operation: Pirate Bee (OPB); that or they simply go "meh." :P Either reaction is understandable and okay, actually. As a matter of fact, such reactions are exactly what I currently want for my next main project. See, right now is the time for me to push the adventures of green alien chicks growing up and kicking @$$ in a...

Prossia Progress

Oi. It just keeps on going! :P If you follow the Prossial Novel Page or my Twitter account, you'd know that I finished my final edit of the republished manuscript of Prossia last month. So, now that this is all said and done, that means its ready to get published, right? LOL! If only!
I'm planning on distributing the book on various formats (Kindle, Nook, Print, Smashwords, etc.) and everyone has a particular rule to follow when it comes to the style/formatting. And, since I'm quite the novice...

Prossia: A novel by Raphyel M. Jordan

It'll be back on the market before you know it!

Operation Pirate Bee Ad 9

It's been a while since we've seen ads for my next big project, Pirate Bee. I had to put it to the curb for a while, given all the Prossial stuff I got goin' on. But now that I'm nearing the post-editing phase of republishing "Prossia," it's about past time I star building up some buss on this novel again. ^_^

Where Were You, When You Had To Grow Up?

Getting Back To Writing

Time to get back into the trenches! I've been having loads of fun working on my art with various clients throughout the year, but it looks like I won't be taking anymore commission work until I get my two books published at the end of the year. One will be a republished version of "Prossia," and  the other one will be it's prequel that's currently dubbed "Operation: Sand Gnat." Oh, yeah! And what about that Operation: Pirate Bee you saw some ads for? Yep, I'll be getting back to work on...

Prossia Novel Leaving the Market

Yep. You heard me. My first and only published novel will no longer be available. No more Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or any other format will be gone from the web... 
Well, at least, for now. ^_^
All of this is being done as I prep up the republished version of the novel, along with the prequel that will shortly follow suit. See, if you're an author, you probably already understand this part, but for the rest of you good peeps, here's what happened. I self-published "Prossia" through what...
