Local News

Well I am excited! I am going to have an article in our local newspaper about my book. Nervous about the picture though. I'm not very photogenic at all and feel uncomfortable in front of the lens. I just have to suck it up and do it.

Donations

 Jimmy and his mom Heidi

Good day to all my friends. I am asking for a very large favor from everyone that reads this blog. My cousin's baby has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing chemo. I have pledged to donate $1 for every book sold to ensure little Jimmy's future. The donations will be made to the Ronald McDonald Foundation in Jimmy's name. Book purchases can be made directly from my publisher at www.iuniverse.com and search for the title Planet X.

Book Synopsis

On a faraway planet shrouded in obscurity from ancient history, a powerful race lives. Led by the benevolent and evil King Distar, the Annunaki have been preparing for their eventual return to Earth. Only this time, they will not be teachers or the Gods the ancestors once worshiped. It is December 21, 2012. Seventeen-year-old Adam Dolby is about to have his world torn asunder. As the Annunaki begin to invade and decimate the Earth’s resources, Adam’s parents confess that they are not his biological parents, but instead are appointed guardians who have been instructed to watch over and protect him from the Annunaki people, who want nothing more than to destroy him. Minutes later, his parents are dead—the victims of a vicious attack on his home. With the help of a mysterious and eccentric old man named Mentor, Adam is soon propelled into a mythical adventure where his mission is to uncover the origins of the universe and a race of beings called Eternals.


In this exciting sci-fi adventure tale, a young man awaits in the shadows to learn
the truth of his existence and the fate of the human race.

Marketing

Well my book is officially for sale and now I have to come up with some creative ways to market my book. I thought writing my book was hard, but this will be a challenging task. I have contacted my local news paper for an interview and they stated a reporter would be assigned to me shortly. So this is just one avenue I will partake in. Next I am going to have some book marks made up to use as advertising.  Looking at having tshirts made up and luckily my brother owns his own graphics design company that deals with silk screen printing. only problem is getting the funds. Well, the task is now at hand and I must spend money to make money.

So for know the floor is open for everyone until further notice.

Character update

Well the site has just been updated with a new character profile. The vile and evil King Distar. As I stated in my last post, this will be the last character sketch I will be creating so as to concentrate on other things dealing with marketing the book. I hope everyone appreciates and likes the characters and by no means are these the definitive visions I have for these characters. This is what my hand and my computer allowed my to do. So let your imaginations flow and conjure your own images.

Prologue

Just posted the prologue on a great UFO web site. Why there and not on my official web site or blog? I felt it necessary to get the message out about my book in a forum that was based around my book's theme.
