Isis Sousa's Blog: Tragic Books' news - Posts Tagged "duskland"

A year ago, during the summer of 2012, I wrote I wrote the first short story of a series/anthology I have conceived.

I have edited this short story over 50 times, I think! I went though it over and over again, asked for help, for opinions, feedback and constructive criticism so that I could enhance this material and publish it.

I’ve been really lucky that awesome people crossed my way during the process of this story and helped me making it much better. (Their names are in the e-book acknowledgements and I will make a special blog post talking about it later on.)

When it comes to choosing between being self-published and published by a house, I didn’t think much to choose the first option. I REALLY wanted to experiment the “freedom” of self-publishing, and literally “having it my way”.

I enrolled on the Kindle Publisher Select program, and within some hours my e-book will be available for sale.

This project is very important for me because it is the possibility of bringing the world of my “painted” characters to readers worldwide. Yes, that’s because I am not a writer, but an illustrator who is writing for pure joy, when I have the time to do so!

Carpe diem!

Ps: On the next entry, when the e-book is finally for sale, I will talk more about the story and the process.

I have written my first fiction work, a Dark Fantasy/Surreal/Paranormal short story:



“The XIIIth hour at Duskland” is an introductory short story from the illustrated anthology “Stories of Duskland”.

Sinopsis:

Leonhard is a wealthy gentleman surrounded by the most unusual and loyal friends. His life has been a hiatus for many years until the day he finds a mysterious young lady lying unconscious and hurt in the nearby woods. Pity and curious, he brings her home and does all he can to help her recovery.

A day later, by the XIIIth Hour, Leonhard and his friends discover together the horrid truth about the stranger’s past. “Elisa” and the ones she came across were never the same, once they met in the picturesque world of Duskland.

Have a cozy read :D

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!

Dear readers and authors, summer has been a rush for me. Too much work, too much going on in life. Things are slowing down and I hope to catch up with you this autumn!

I'd like to share the news about The Night of Elisa's Official Book Trailer, which was released today and it is available on Youtube!

You're welcome to watch it and share the link if you want :) Feedback is also welcome!
