As has been the case with most of the series' recent blogs, this one comes with good news and bad news. So, to give this entry a positive ending, I'll begin by sharing the not-so-good news...
Due to a number of stressful complications which have affected me directly, the conclusion of Sky Fighters Part VIII has been temporarily halted. But fear not, Superior-Fans! Its release will come about sooner than you might hope! Now, this leads us to the good news...
First off, as I mentioned in a much earlier blog, the Sky Fighters writing-team, which mainly includes me, and a handful of other people, will be hosting our 3rd novel-giveaway...Huzzah!! Starting on the 5th of January, several handfuls of copies of the 2nd novella, Sky Fighters Part II: Redemption of the Rebels, will be given away as a slightly-belated Christmas gift in appreciation of our audience's prevailing patience! (The original plan was to host our giveaway in time for Christmas. But sometimes, life itself can be too unpredictable for such things to always work in our favor.)
Still, we have even more goodies on top of this: In order to prove our dedication to the series remains undeniably real, The Sky Fighters Remastery Programme will be continuing, through the meticulous re-write of Sky Fighters Part IV: Deadly Encounters! Our goal of this near-complete rewrite is to have it be finished either just before or immediately following Christmas Day. Regardless of when the rewrite is re-released, you'll still have a chance to win a copy of Sky Fighters Part II. So please keep watching this blog to ensure you don't miss out on either of these upcoming events!
Indeed, Sky Fighters has been surviving as an original series for quite a long time. And while I think it'd be awesome if I'd been the only one to ensure it and all those equally awesome characters would have survived on their own, I'm afraid I simply cannot afford to hog up all the credit! And so, without any further skipping around the bush, I'd like to formally introduce you, our fabulous audience to one very real young woman, who serves as the inspiration of why "coming-of-age" is one of the series' main genres! Ladies and gentlemen, boys, and girls, meet the real Elizabeth Benavides, nee Sherman!!
...Yesh, this is right: Up above is a video - An actual video of what a real Sky Fighter directly from the series looks and sounds like! The cutie in this video is how Elizabeth Sherman, the character, would appear and act. Not only this, but you're seeing how she'll appear during one portion of the novel which will ultimately follow directly after Sky Fighters Part VIII!!
And this is not all, folks! What you see here is in fact a day-hike video! Thus, it counts as a brief, but very real teaser of how Sky Fighters, the novel series as a whole, could appear were it lucky enough to become a Motion Picture, TV show, or even a video game. Not only this, but during this day-hike, I demonstrated my previous years of hiking experience to Mrs. Benavides by navigating us along the trail, using the map with relative-ease. And she was very glad to have my company this day. Feel free to contact me if you're curious to find out how I employed my navigation skills.
On the topic of survival, sometimes, using a weapon is a necessary evil. As you might be aware, there are many types of weapons used by the characters, who ultimately drive the series forward. One of those weapons is the Needle Staff. Would you like to see how a real Needle Staff would appear? Then, you just might be in luck! I recently met a young man, who not only practices the skill of gymnastics alongside me, but also claims to have some experience in the actual real-world Blacksmithing Skill! I shall contact him very soon to see if he'll be able to craft such an item for us to behold.
Here is a link to the rough draft of the weapon's blueprint, in case you forgot or simply don't have a copy of Sky Fighters Part IV: Deadly Encounters, where it has been included...
The Sky Fighters Team sure will have a lot of stuff going on during this year's holiday season! And on this note, I will bring this blog to a close. Until next year and beyond...
Keep on being awesome!! H.R. Eberle
