Introducing The Sky Fighters' Tales! An original novel adaptation (ONA)

Ahh! How long has it been since I've brought out a new bo--Oh, hi!

Sorry for the awkward introduction. But awkward or not, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my latest writing project to you: The Sky Fighters' Tales! This is what I would call an original novel adaptation (Or ONA for short). If you know anything about anime shows, then the aforementioned acronym could be familiar to you. On this note, here is a brief spoiler-free synopsis...

The Sky Fighters' Tales is a Trilogy-Three short stories, which are focused on characters who usually aren’t one of the main protagonists of the series. In other words, these are not stories about Rehn, Holly, Ramasha, Gregoroth, Maya, and/or Brent...For the most part, anyway. This having been said, each of the three stories features Houndy Crunchers, a lot of whom are Dual-Shifters.

Many, if not most, of these Houndy Crunchers adamantly shun the use of any and all modern technology, if not forbid it outright! While the reason(s) for this remain unknown, certain Sky Fighters have speculated the Houndy Crunchers believe such technology will begin corrupting their souls if it is used close to them or the natural places they’ve lived in for millions of years.

The picture above shows yet another concept of how a Sky Fighter might appear.

Whether or not you or anyone else reading this actually cares or likes me or any of my distinct works, The Sky Fighters' Tales is now available for a simple, $5 purchase on Amazon in paperback format! You can check it out right here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RMBWYYN?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

 

 

 

 

The Kindle version of this new short book is now available for purchase, here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RVBZN7Q?ref_=pe_3052080_397670860

 

From this release-date until the end of March, the Kindle version can be purchased at a special introductory price of only $1! Afterwards, the price of this book will rise to match the price of the paperback already on Amazon, at $5.

 

A few things to keep in mind...

I: This book features what I, the author consider to be the best cover of any novel I've ever published to this date. As you can likely see above, it features two young children, the one on the right perhaps being Terri, the Cat-Shifter, herself! This image is the first one of a Dual-Shifting Houndy Cruncher I've ever shown to the public! You can also spy a fox (Foxerotto) who might be watching them wander through this forest from atop a tree branch.

II: Keeping this in mind, some specifications and/or details about this ONA may change. And so, the actual day-of-release of one or both versions may be delayed by another day or two. Please be patient until then. 

III: The release-date of this new, short book actually could have been as early as December, 2021, however, due to facing many difficulties, most of which are human-related, it wasn't able to be copyrighted until January of 2022 and submitted for publishing earlier this week.

IV: Even after all of this is factored in, I am surprised and rather disappointed by the apparent lack of interest or knowledge of this project. Especially considering my fan-base is comprised of 10,000 people or more, I would have thought (And hoped!) it would gain more attention, especially since the conclusion of the original series is right around the corner!

But, please don't let this last statement above seem off-putting to you! None of my Mom's projects have this fame-level yet, either. And yesh, my Mom has more than one sci-fi project, which is 100% finished as of this morning. Plus, my Mom has written other fine stories (Mostly in script form), where the main genre isn't just sci-fi. In short, she has more than twice the number of writing projects as I do! On this note, I highly recommend you follow her blog as well: https://trackerswebseries.blogspot.com/

And now since all this important business is out of the way, support your fellow Indie writers! Go forth and spread the word about our projects! Buy and read my works and let your imaginations fly as high as a bird of prey or as us humans could if only we had wings to soar with...

The Sky Fighters Remastery Programme!!

Uhm...Hello there once more, folks!

 

I know it's been a really long time since I've written up anything on this web-site. Well, it's been a few months, but a while is a while. At any rate, while you're all eagerly awaiting the release of the final novel of the Sky Fighters and Houndy Crunchers epic saga, I've decided to do something rather neat: A complete re-write of my first four novellas! And guesh what? My first one is already re-written!

You can now purchase (Or pick up) a copy of the newly-remastered first novel right now, on Amazon! In addition to having done a near-complete re-write on it, I've also given it a brand-new cover-design! Shown below is a preview of the front and back of the cover...

...In case you're not aware of what each image symbolizes, they represent a glimpse of the landscape of Desersia. A modified image of Saturn serves as the planet Evensongland. Is it not moving? Is it not a sure-fire fit as the cover of an intergalactic science-fiction/fantasy/coming-of-age epic saga?

 

Click here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h6V0t3OTPLHsJMprH8KY7iQBZ_lbb2Oe_G2trb1BYYw/edit?usp=sharing ...For a free preview of this novella! Then go here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1500311421/ref=x_gr_w_bb_sin?ie=UTF8&tag=x_gr_w_bb_sin-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1500311421&SubscriptionId=1MGPYB6YW3HWK55XCGG2 ...To purchase the paperback or visit here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P41K7Z6/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3 ...For the Kindle Edition!

Then, feel free to read it, rate it, and review it at your own leisure. But don't let our praise guide you: Let our latest edition of Sky Fighters and Houndy Crunchers speak for itself! In the meantime, work towards remastering the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th novellas will continue into the rest of this year, as well as next year. So, if you want to read (Or re-read) any of these first parts of the novella/novel series, then please be patient. Wait until I create an official announcement once they've been remastered.

Until next time, we'll see you across the multi-verse. Ta-Ta! o/

Goodreads Giveaway and Fandom Page Recruitment!

Hello once again, all Superior-Fans of the Sky Fighters!

 

First of all, I'd like to formally apologize for the lack of new and updated content here on this blog-site. Me and all those involved with mine and my Mom's writing projects have been busy with a number of projects, both related to, and separate from our own writing. However, we have not forgotten about you! Here's what's coming up next for me...

 

Starting March 10th, 2020, and over the rest of this month until April 5th, I will be hosting my first official Goodreads Giveaway! The prize of this Giveaway will include 100 free copies of my latest release-book, Sky Fighters Part VII: Secrets of the Past! If this is your first time reading a Sky Fighters novel, you're in for a real treat! If you've read one of my works before, then you'll be getting a sneak-preview of what's to come.

 

 

Here's a brief, spoiler-free synopsis...

Three powerful, high-level Sky Fighters are missing in action! Their literal fall happens just after a series of rather tough battles against their ever-relentless foes, the Python Demons. And though the Sky Fighters were able to thin the Python Demons' ranks once more, this time around, the Sky Fighters were pushed almost to their limits.

 

In a new spin of the original series, while also being counted as part of the original series, Secrets of the Past is crafted into three short stories, revolving around the three missing Sky Fighters. Each one is told by one of the Traductus Brothers, while they nervously await for news regarding them. This will serve to bridge the gap after the Split of 2005.

 

Here is a link to the giveaway: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/320693-secrets-of-the-past

Sky Fighters Part VIII (8), protecting Mother Nature, and more!

    Greetings and Happy New Year to you all!

 

I realize and understand just how long it's been since I last wrote a blog post of any kind. But you don't have to worry; I would never forget about my audience nor abandon them or my blogs.

 

And if you are now asking "Hey, Ross! Where have you been, all this time? And what are you doing with your life?" Then, here are my answers...First and foremost, I have decided (As of early 201*) to attend college with my full intention of majoring in Forestry. What does this mean? In short, I have a plan to save the planet by doing whatever I can to protect and maintain as many wilderness areas as I can throughout my life. This will mean studying. And lots of it! Not to mention spending more time in wilderness areas (Like forests, mountains, deserts, and the like) as well as spending more time outside, observing nature. And I've already been doing plenty of studying and wilderness-observations as it is. I ultimately plan to land a job actually working within a forest and ensuring there are no instances of poaching, deforestation, or over-development within it. There were animals on this Earth before there were humans. And there will be animals long after humans have left it.

 

Secondly, I have been working tirelessly in the efforts of writing up what will be my 8th novel. Though, it certainly won't be the last piece of writing I publish, mind you cat! =^_^= Part VIII will be the longest novel I've ever written, by far! And it will see the epic conclusion of the 2nd Intergalactic War, as well as a tie-in with my aforementioned goals above. This is also not to mention a myriad of countless other sub-plots contained within it. And I've been writing it with the help of one of my most trusted female friends I know of. I certainly couldn't have gotten this far without her!

 

Lastly (And certainly not least of all), I would like to present a dedication to an author I only recently met, last year. His name is Hector Fenwick. He is the same age as me, though slightly-younger by a few months or so. And like me, he is an aspiring Indie author, who also has a Goodreads page. He says quote: "When I was little, I wanted to become a cartoonist for a while. Later, I wanted to become a video game designer. However, growing up, I realized that I was interested neither in drawing nor in programming. What actually excited me about the aforementioned prospects was the process of creating a story, a world of your own. In other words, the writing process! Writing is what I was born to do.

Don't forget to visit my blog as well...
https://historystories123.blogspot.com" You can see his basic profile on Goodreads over here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/19812958.Hector_Fenwick ...Or on Amazon right here: https://www.amazon.com/Hector-Fenwick/e/B07ZTRTL99%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share ...Among the books he has written and published include I Love You Superbia (Paranormal Feasts, #1) and We Shall Be One. So, check those out! And as you may have done with my books, if you read any of his, rate and review them!

...Whew! This was quite a mouthful. Thankfully, it's all the news I have to share with you, today. Let me know what you think. And if you like this blog, don't forget to follow me on it and share it with everyone you know! Hector and I will both surely appreciate it. Until next time...

Sky Fighters: A Series Treatment by Laurie Eberle

This action-packed sci-fi fantasy saga turns out to be a very slow build by Ross to a climax, or a series of climaxes. This is intentional on Ross's part. But Ross also includes a fair amount of humorous and romantic moments between some characters.

Right now, I am about halfway through the sixth novella, which I am enjoying. But I must confess my favorite novellas are the first, third, and especially, the fifth.

I don't advise jumping to the fifth. You won't understand the complexities of the characters or the progress to the climax. More important, you won't comprehend or know the first Sky Fighters from Earth...Especially why they are selected.

Moreover, you will miss twists and turns which put the nemeses in their positions of twisted power. Expect other planets to be involved. Expect a plethora of characters. There will be a considerable amount of violence in this well-crafted series.

Secrets of the Past in stores now!

Attention all Superior Fans of the Sky Fighters! Once again, the wait is finally over! Sky Fighters Part VII: Secrets of the Past is now officially on Amazon in both Kindle and Paperback formats!

Not to mention the 120 chapters which encompass all 7 of these novellas and full-length novels. This is no small feat, by far!

In this particular novel, three powerful Sky Fighters are missing in action! While a number of other Sky Fighters rush to rescue them, Terri, a Cat-Shifter grabs Rehn’s Remote Control Transporter and rushes off with it! Sky Fighter Leaders Brent and Maya see this and wonder what her motives are. From here on, the story is told from the perspective of at least three Sky Sailors who are brothers. Each brother focuses on the telling of heroic deeds accomplished by each of the three Sky Fighters. They return to their home to await news of their missing friends.
