This blog will be moving and other important news!

I will be moving this blog to www.tumblr.com here real soon, and then all posts regarding anything Atlantech related will continue there. However, that is not the big news, that is only a little heads up on what to expect from me.

The big news is that Publish America is going to publish the Atlantech series, and the first novel manuscript must be sent in by May 1st. Yes, that's right there is now an official deadline, and so there is much work to be done. Can I do that? I believe so, my heart is very much into this project and my dedication will be sure to show with the final product. This also means that the first book of Atlantech 4000 will be available sooner than I had originally planned, which is great news.

Once I sign the contract, I'm afraid I won't be able to put up anymore teasers or samples from the story. I will continue the artwork, and web comic but anything having to do with the novel won't be released for obvious reasons. Maybe proposed sketches for the next book covers (front & back) but nothing more after that.

Speaking of artwork for book covers, I realize the style I chose for the first one takes a very long time to do and so I'd probably have to go with a less detailed style for the future books. I've already got the front cover half way finished, needs some texturing and more painting, but it will be finished soon. I've also come up with a nice image for the back cover, it features Brian. I've decided to feature a different character on the back of each book. It sounds like a promising design too, so I'll play around with it and see what goes.

So that's the big news regarding Atlantech...............soon to be official, and soon to be public.

Also, with tumblr users can bombard me with questions regarding the book or series in general. Yes, you now have that privilege, but beware I'll only answer the questions I'm allowed to =P
