Woohoo!

I was hesitating to post anything about this, but since it looks like things will turn out all right in the end, I’ll go ahead and announce!

I will have an artist table at Persacon this year. I have some hard copies of the second edition of Playing the Hero to sell there. And when I run out, I’ll hopefully have lots of art to sell instead. I will certainly have some cute earrings.

Additionally, I’ve decided to offer the book as an ebook on Smashwords. Haven’t decided on price yet, and don’t have the file ready to upload there either, but I’ll certainly be working on that between now and then.

So if you’re in the north Alabama region, stop by Persacon and see me!

I've finished editing the text for Playing the Hero version2. It will be available to purchase shortly.

Additionally! I made a new cover for it. I like the original cover, but it needs fixing and I can't fix it because I don't have a photoshop file with all the layers anymore. I don't know why I did that, but I did, and the end result is that the file is no longer really usable.

I think the next cover I make will be in Manga Studio - since my sister got that for me. I just need to learn how to use it.

 I will post the new cover on here shortly.

As well as a few other pieces of art I was working on.

Here is the new cover idea that didn't make it

Chapter 9
First Blood

Natan’s Wonderful Autobiography!

For my twenty-ninth birthday, I bought myself the Van class Xarian, and Green Wave, and the Sport class Seven. I was in the business.

I moved over to the Xarian, making it my new flagship, since I’d made it so spiffy with twenty-four guns and a custom coded AI. I also gave the Midris a new engine, since it was now the slowest of the bunch, handing over captaincy of it to Codas’s bother-in-law, Yaun.

With four ships and the need for experienced crew, I looked to my old Navy buddies for captains and bridge crew. I collected Arih's sister, Chira, for Weapons Two - my Carrots are so cute sitting next to each other like that! - Zandre, Logos, and Valef were Navy friends and I made them security on my flagship. I talked Ninisaki into retiring from the forces and taking over Green Wave, Fou practically jumped into my lap and begged me to let her have the Seven, so I agreed and let my new captains pick their bridge crews, since I’d filled out mine to my liking - except for a second in command. I had more to think about than just one ship and I had so much to do.
