Haha no she isn't on this forum, she's going to be an English teacher, so I'm helper her and she's helping me :) It works out great, now only if she could return new draft 4 completed, then I'd be ready to put my final touches on and send to the publisher

There are no more chapters for this book, this was merely a teaser 10 chapter draft.. I have added several more chapters, elaborated, and overall improved this book all together. It will be going up soon, and will be for sale. It is longer than what is up here, and more or less is better.. I changed a couple names, and did it up in a nice package.

I am currently working on doing up book two, making it into a better version of what I already have, then putting up a teaser for it too, not as in depth as this one, but enough so you get the general drift, and hopefully persuade the readers into getting book 2.

I'll have the eBook up soon, and hopefully people will be interested in it :)

Just to those interested in this book, I haven't let it die, in fact I have done the complete opposite... For those of you who have watched the Writing and Writers topic, I have actually began publishing this book. I am about a week or so away from being ready to sell. I just need to get a few things down, such as a profile picture of myself for the website, the actual website and of course the cover for the book.. I think I will be selling the paper back for $10.99 with a largely discounted eBook version for about $4-$6

Nothing is 100% final yet, I am still in the process of making everything ready, but it's almost there!

Thank you, remember currently, this is the only way you can purchase this book... The full version of it that is.

Is the Cover made in em4?


The cover is made with certain vehicles and modified models from EM4.. All used by permission of original authors.

It looks pretty good. I'm impressed it came out so good from a close shot like that from em4. Nice job.

I used a few things from Em4, however not em4 itself ;) I'd like to thank Mikey for a good bit with the layout of the shot as well as a few models for it.. I can't remember if I included a special unreleased model in there, or if that's hidden under text/shadows

I'm assuming you mean on the storefront? That's the prologue, and although it does open up the whole series and lead us all in, it has nothing to do with the main characters. Well it doesn't include them, later on we see it has EVERYTHING to do with EVERYONE ;) Spoiler I dear say?

Good good, what's posted is a very rough first copy, since this version, there has been much more in terms of content added to this book, as well as I am working now on the second book which will be nearing the final stages soon

Care to post anymore?

of this book? No. What you've gotten techincally isn't even the full book anymore. Character names have changed, as well as many more chapters being added and lengthened. The book is on the dock to be sent to market within a month, I just need the time to finialize a few last details
