Fifth Branch: Choices is up.

Excerpt:
"By noon, the City’s inhabitants had crested a small hill and we all gazed at the destruction, our hearts sinking. One day, perhaps, we would go back and start all over again. Anak Jamu fumed and burned, sending ash and rocks into the air. A dark pall hung over the City like a funeral shroud. The Bay of Atsuko was barely visible."

And a surprise contest!

Can YOU make this look better?. Prize? Preview chapters AND cover credit when the book nears its end and becomes a complete novella.

New Crowd Funding Project: Dylan and the Dream Pirates

[highway-west.livejournal.com]

I have made references to a secret project for the last two months.

I wanted to wait until most of the work was completed on the site to reveal my secret.

I decided to finally make my attempt at a crowd-funding project.

Trying such an endevor has both scared the crap out of me and excited me about the new possibilities. The lovely and talented Jen Brooks is finishing the graphics element this weekend.

You can take a sneak peak at: http://dylanandthedreampirates.com/

Please post a link to this project on your own website or Facebook. Search engines rank sites based on links from other sites to said location.
