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

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.

Here is a book highlight about Archipelago by Mati Raine

Synopsis:
14-year old Lilly Douglas is a girl who has been sheltered from the world since the moment she was born. Gifted with avian like wings and strands of lilac hair, she never realizes how different she is. After a terrifying attack on her home, she is forced to run from everything she knew, and find shelter at a place called Charity Academy. Here students have little to worry about beyond homework and classes, and they spend most of their time learning to control their powers, embracing their identities as 'Strands': students with extraordinary abilities, united by the lilac hairs they have. But they are not alone in the world.

56 miles south-east, into the Bitterroot Wilderness, is a dark place known as Firestone Institution. Here a 16-year old boy named Cory Trask has made his home with a personality as icy as his powers. Survival driven, Cory works for a man named Dr. Kibbsty and is the leader in the pursuit of Lilly. He thinks of little beyond the orders he is given, and life is nothing more than a game: one where only the strongest survive. As their paths cross, they bring an uncertain future in their wake that will cause all these teens to question what it really means to be Strands.
