Ok, feel the need to address this as it is my weekly update, but THANK YOU LORNA LOWE FOR THE 5 STAR REVIEW!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
 
I feel a little cheap by only publishing 150 pages for the first volume, which is why I picked the price (the lowest you can go before your royalties automatically get cut in half), but I have been a life-long lover of comics, and I love the constant driving energy of a well written comic arc. So I decided to write a book like a comic: Cheap, relatively short, with as much compelling energy driving from chapter to chapter as I could muster. (And hey, I know I ain’t no S. King) but Volume 2 will be different. I plan for it to be much longer and much more action packed. Yes, it will end with a cliff-hanger event-wise, but it will have resolution in that it will close another arc of Atriya’s personal development. Thank you Lorna for being understanding and kind! 🙂 🙂 🙂
 
“The idea of power, discipline and violence and how we use them to control or to break free is one reason why I love this book. It’s more than just the action it so eloquently describes. In the midst of all the energy there is a human element that makes this book feel real. I definitely recommend reading it.”

    I have loved them all my life too. In the Marine Corps guys would tease me for reading them, but I could open just about any of them, point to a word and ask them the definition. Shut them right up. I told them they should read more anything.

    But the genre, now being called, the Graphic Novel is being taken seriously as an art form by critics and Literature curriculums in Universities.

      They’re awesome, and they only got more awesome when the Comics Code Authority stopped censoring them. It’s too bad that good comics writers now have a limited shelf life; they get snatched up by film companies on a fairly regular basis. The ones who get recognized and keep writing comics definitely do it for the love.

        Agreed. But at least now the form is becoming more a part of the Zeitgeist thanks to popular television shows, etc. The written form has to benefit some as a consequence and Writers will continue to make inroads, I hope.

        Absolutely. But life always surprises…in the 90s I would NEVER have imagined a movie like the Avengers happening, and even in the mid 2000s I had settled with everything becoming “reality-oriented” like Chris Nolans’ Batmans. Now? I’m open to whatever’s coming next. It’s all awesome!

        Be happy you are not old enough to have suffered Hollywood’s butchering of Sci-Fi classics by Azimov and others. ☺

        It may be blasphemous…but I love a good do-over. I see stories as consistent rehashes with fresh twists. I mean “Commoner becomes extraordinary and saves the world” is Star Wars, the Matrix, Harry Potter, LOTR, and even Jesus. But yeah, some things need to age awhile and be left in peace until they get redone…
