#CyborgFriday – Cybrosis, Virtuality, and the future of Agent Ciris
Happy Labor Day weekend to all of my American readers!
Today, I bring news of the future of a certain Cyborg. Many of you who saw my Post announcing the completion of the draft of Virtuality have asked me about when the project will be podcasted. Unfortunately, it’s not even on the schedule. Rest assured, I will podcast it at some point, but with Slipspace Harbinger already in the hopper, it demands priority at this time. So the bad news is that you’re going to have to wait for Virtuality for the time being.
But I have not forgotten or forsaken Ciris, Chen, Tecgui and Briggs. Quite the opposite in fact- they are getting a LOT of love.
With the launch of OTDEM LLC and the completion of the first run at the Cybrosis sequel, I came to the realization that I needed a better way to refer to the collection of current and future stories centered around Ciris and her team. I’ve been causally referring to it as the “Cybrosis Universe” which makes sense to an extent, but truth be told it didn’t sit right with me.
So, with a little help from my colleagues, I am pleased to announce the launch of “Code Name Ciris” which will serve as an umbrella for all current and future stories focused on Ciris and her team.
As a result, Cybrosis will be re-branded as “Cybrosis: A cCodename Ciris Conspiracy” as will Virutality. Jared Axelrod who laid out the original cover for Cybrosis has returned and is modifying the original art to accommodate the new branding.
Additionally, Cybrosis will be re-laid out and re-released in Electronic form for your E-reader of choice. And, for the first time, a print version of the novel will be made available.
Yes, boys and girls: After three and a half years, Cybrosis is coming to print! I am very eager to be able to hold a paper copy of this book in my hands and to put it in the hands of some of my friends who have been with me from the very first… horrid… draft of this book, but have never been able experience the final product due to hearing issues.
At this time I have no schedule for a print launch, but I would suspect to see something hit around the winter holiday season.
With all of that in the works, you can imagine that the website will be getting a significant makeover. I will be shutting down the Cybrosisnovel.com domain and re-directing it to a new domain that I have registered that will house the Code Name Ciris properties. The original Cybrosis podcast episodes as well as the feedback/discussion shows will be relaunched as well so you and others new to the work can experience it well ahead of the podcast release of Virtuality.
So, a lot happening there and while I’m expecting the ‘Lucas revisionist” comments to start flying fairly soon here, rest assured that I won’t be doing a re-edit of the novel. The events you read and/or listened to will still be happening. I’m not adding nor am I removing any content at all. Ciris, like Han, shoots first.
Keep your eye on the #CybrogFriday for more updates
