"Heedless" is out! and other news.

Well, my short story "Heedless" is out. Book 1 of the Jax Jensen Trilogy. I would post a link to the amazon page, but there are plenty scattered about I don't want to overwhelm you all with links. Book two has gone off for editing. And I have started revising book 3.

As for nonwriting things, I saw the third Hobbit. I'll just leave it at this: I liked the first one in terms of story/progression more. But this one had the greatest amount of action and "cool" scenes. There were plenty of "what the heck" moments scattered throughout though.

On the Warhammer 40k front, I have started a Blood Angels army, those guys look pretty cool. I know a lot of individuals are hating on the codex, but, I actually don't mind it right now!

Did you guys see the hobbit? Any fellow 40k players here? My writing friends, any updates? Let me know!

"Heedless" Short Story Progress: With pictures of book cover progress.

First concept: Very comic book looking, more cartoon-like

Earlier Concept: Testing out crimson uniform.

Heedless Semi-Final Cover Concept: Black uniform, black duster, medals and badges still need to be added.

Alright so in the next week or so, my first short story, "Heedless", will be up for preorder on Amazon Kindle! My friend Joshua made this lovely piece, you can see more of his work at http://www.joshuapapaleo.com/ .

That is the main character in the story, Jax Jensen. These three short stories I am releasing are going to be a preceding trilogy to a series of novels featuring him and his universe (which I have been calling the Jensen-verse... its a working title...). I can't decide what to call the short story collections, I was thinking "The Jax Jensen Trilogy" so, Heedless would be scrawled across the top, then beneath would read "Book 1 of the Jax Jensen Trilogy". My only issue with that is, what do I do with the longer novels once those are out?"

What do you all think? Eye catching? We are trying to decide what to do with the background, right now, as pictured above, it is just a black to grey gradient. (Or should I say grey-dient -hahaha!)

Anyway, comment below and let me know what you all think! I would love to hear input, if you like the artwork, go checkout my buddy Josh's site, it is still in its early stages, but I know he has some stuff up there right now. He will be doing the next three covers as well!
