cgockel:

Saga Volume 3: I should have ordered Volume 4 when I ordered Volume 3 because now I have to wait for the post. Blah.

So Saga Volume 3 is better than Volume 2 (review), which is better than Volume 1 (review), which is pretty damn good. I’ve passed my copies on to my dad, to share the love, and I know I’m going to ask for them back because I think I’ll be rereading them.

Anyway, unless you speak German or French you can’t get these in Kindle format (!!!!) but they are well worth your spare change. I have an Amazon credit card and I’m using all my points on this series.

Anyway, if you are waiting to buy Volume 3, don’t. If you haven’t started the Saga series, do it! Do it now! Buy Saga Volume 1 on Amazon.

Thank you for that magnificent series, it was everything I wanted. It made me cry and laugh all the colorful emotiona of the rainbow. I do hope you write more I really love it thank you!

Oh, thank you! I’m so glad you liked I Bring the Fire. I loved writing it. 

I am writing more. A sci-fi love story trilogy. I’m about one-third of the way into the first book. I am wondering if I should finish the whole trilogy and then publish, or release one at a time … I’m not sure.

I think some of my Fire fans will like it. I try to write sci-fi like fantasy and fantasy like sci-fi. And like Fire it does touch on big themes.

Preliminary sketch of Bohdi Patel. He’ll have a lighter in h is hand of course. I need to smooth out the light on his nose. Maybe sharpen his jaw?

Not even going to bother with his clothing. I’m finding it’s better just to go straight for the stock art with clothes. Hate drawing them anyway. Blah.

For anyone joining in, this is for Fates, Part IV of I Bring the Fire. The first part is available free on Amazon, iBooks, B&N, GooglePlay and Smashwords.
