Looks like I'm getting closer to completing my next project, a novella set in the Land of Mist and Dragons. It's a world that combines elements of all my favorite dinosaur adventure stories . . . everything from The Lost World and Journey to the Center of the Earth to Dinotopia.

This one will be the first in an ongoing series that chronicles the events surrounding Flight 706 and its survivors as they struggle to deal with all manner of prehistoric beasts and other dangers. However, in the Land of Mist and Dragons, dinosaurs are every bit as intelligent as humans, and many of them see us as good for little more than slave labor or food!

The cover was recently completed by Heraldo Mussolini, a very talented artist I found right here on Deviantart. You can view it in my gallery, and if you like it I encourage you to visit Heraldo's page and check out more of his awesome work: brokenmachine86.deviantart.com…

Thanks a lot all you fantastic people for helping me spread the word!


Orishadaon: To the Ends of the Urth

Welcome to primeval Urth.

It is a world of savagery, populated by deadly beasts and deadlier annaru—feral lizardmen devoted to the bloodthirsty god, Kor.

Into this world comes Dayn, a young man seeking his destiny. Armed only with his wits, a rusty sword and the orishadai locked within his raging soul, he'll search for it.

When he and his companions unleash something deep within the steaming jungle, something buried long ago and better left forgotten, Dayn cannot begin to imagine what, or who, it will cost him.

Before he can set things right, he will not only learn the true meaning of sacrifice, but discover what destiny has in store for him and the one he loves most.

Just wanted to let everyone know that sales are still slowly rolling in and that I've sold 60 copies of the print book, plus an additional 7 sales online! It's doing quite well and I couldn't be happier! Well, I guess if I sold 10,000 copies I'd be happier, but I'm trying to keep my expectations a little more realistic, haha.

Also, you can find me on facebook now under the name Brandon R.J. Bowling. I'll be posting updates there about upcoming projects and anything new related to Orishadaon that comes up so please feel free to check it out.

And once again, thank you all for your support and kind words. It means a lot.

Just went to the Sarnia Pop Culture Show, a little convention that's getting bigger every year. I had a table and managed to sell 32 books, which is pretty good as far as I'm concerned. Sold a total of 48 copies myself so far, plus a few more ebooks online! It's not Stephen King numbers, but I think I'm doing fairly well.

*edit* Sold 2 more copies today, so that brings the total up to 50! Huzzah!

Print copies of Orishadaon: To the Ends of the Urth are on Amazon's main site! www.amazon.com/Orishadaon-Ends…

Just found out it's live on iTunes as well, for anyone interested.

So far I've sold 6 copies online! Not a staggering number, but still, could be worse. It's better than none.

Thanks to those who've picked it up. Every sale counts and I've got to start somewhere!
