The XIIIth hour at Duskland (Stories of Duskland) - 2nd Edition - Revised is now available for FREE at Smashwords!

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

This is the introduction - of the upcoming short story series/illustrated book "Stories of Duskland", out by the end of March.

Have a good read! :)

It’s been some time since my last journal, and I have been a bit “anti-social” lately to say the least, mainly for two reasons: I had some health issues this year and had to slow down and whenever I got better I had client work to catch up with.

I have some good news to share and it is that The Night of Elisa – my fiction debut was sent today for printing approval @ Lulu.com, which means once it is approved, it will b also distributed by Amazon network! Yay! I will make a new post once the ILLUSTRATED PAPERBACK is out!

The Nigh of Elisa was also added to Smashwords.com as E-Book (non-illustrated edition) – which you can see HERE and, also sent to Amazon Kindle and is now under review. Once the Kindle version is out, I will spread the word as well!

A little back story about this book is that it started out as a sort story, over two years ago, and during the last year it became an illustrated novella (55k words).

Now, I can’t wait to have the hardcopies available – so I can send copies to the lovely BETA READERS involved in the early and later parts of the process and, of course, give a few free copies on Giveaway!

Alright, it has been some time since I made a descent post here. Lately, I have been very busy with work and life stuff (and problems :P ) ... Ad I do have some news & info to share with you all. Here we go:

First to my GR friends and readers of my work:

THANK YOU – I have noticed some of you started following my work (yes, it is always all about my work and not me) and I appreciate it very much. It is definitely a good vibe for the upcoming projects ;) Super thanks and I will do my best to bring about better and better titles for your entertainment!

The Night of Elisa goes Global – During the previous week, TNOW has made it to several shops/webshops around the globe and there is a big chance it is available in your country now – or coming very soon!

A Cold-Hearted Phoenix – Episode 1: Dark Love: This is the first announcement of a cool title coming on Valentine's next year, a miniseries in 5 episodes. It is under editing at the moment and I already started the illustrations – this time, ink. I don’t have a synopsis to give to you yet, all I can tell is that it is an innovative project in format and writing. It will be packed with illustrations (more than TNOE) and a fancy layout. On The Night of Elisa you have prose with influence of comics and cinema while on this new work it will be a hybrid mix of prose and screenwriting, more screenwriting though, including the formatting. Stay tuned. Oh and the genre? “Urban Gothic” – and it is nothing like you have read before!

I was surfing on Twitter enjoying the page of Zombie Sam, who makes soundtracks for films and the like, when I discovered the cool giveaways he posts exclusively for his fans and followers. (hint!)

They were cool handmade drawings, done by Zombie Sam himself, picturing Tim Burton's universe. The giveaways are engaging and personalized, making them one of a kind.

It was then I got very inspired by his ideas and realized... I had never done such intimate giveaways JUST and DIRECTLY to my followers & friends.

An artist/author like ME can only thrive with the support of cheerful, positive, fun people like YOU and I am very blessed to have you around...

New releases
On personal projects, I have been busy as well. I have !!!FINALLY – MY DREAM JUST CAME TRUE!!! *_* the art book/ultimate version of The Night of Elisa - An Illustrated Gothic Novel.



This is in fact how I planned to make the book since the beginning, but didn’t have the resources or platform to publish so. It’s coming this 11th July in full color paperback (trade, matte stock) and an amazing Hardcover version with heavy, glossy art/photo paper stock. <3 Thanks to http://www.peecho.com now I am able to make art books with top notch quality for collectors! :D



Valencia Noir - The Beautiful, the Fantastic and the Grotesque of Valencia, Spain is now printed in the finest quality. Both the paperback (semi-glossy) and hardcover have photopaper quality, and the hardcover is like The Night of Elisa, heavy, glossy art stock.
