I'm going to do something unusual here. I'm going to ask all my readers to vote on what I should publish next. What would you most like to buy from me? Never mind if you won't actually buy it...what are you most likely to buy?

How about a few possibilities:

1) Deep Water, the third book of the Offset Trilogy (31,000 words, 163 pages, estimated) - This one will only be available for a short time so people with the first two can complete the trilogy. Catalyst ZX-10 is no longer available and Offset can only be had as an ebook.

2) The first book of a new fantasy trilogy, titled Through the Dragon's Eyes (60,000 words, 300 pages, estimated)

3) A 52,000 word volume of miscellaneous short stories, NOT Comic Relief, which includes a few of my very old stories (which will be rewritten, fear not)

4) A 17,000 word novelette, priced at just five dollars and released on Amazon as well as Lulu

That's it. All of these books need a lot of work first, so I need to figure out which one I should publish NEXT. They'll all come out eventually. I would like to know what you, my readers, want to see next. So vote in the poll and/or leave a comment.

Thank you,
Luke Alistar

I'm afraid I still haven't read the copy of Dragon's Eyes you sent out for editing :P But I'm still really interested in reading it! Who knows, if I buy it I may be more inclined to find the time. I'm not good at reading on the computer.

I...am the only one that voted for Deep Water! I voted for it because I think that it would be more efficient to finish a trilogy and THEN start a new series. :) Hope I helped!

Heh. It's been long enough I've actually published two other books, but Deep Water is next on the list. Then TtDE. Just because I want to get the Offset Trilogy finished and out of the way.

I agree with Misty. I suggest finishing the trilogy.

*skips in late and off-topic* Whoa! Perhaps I shouldn't have lent out my paperback copy of Offset! It's now collectible. :shock: *skitters out*

They all seem interesting! Finishing the trilogy sounds good. But I think I would be more likely to buy 'Through the Dragon's eye.' :D
(Personally. ;) )

Burns the fire of dragons breath
Harbors age and fire and death

Cannot afford to be weak
For they will have to travel far
Under the clouds and under star

Do not shrink at sight of mountains' peek
Nor shudder at snow and sleet
Push on with eyes alight and step fast
Draw your sword and set your eyes unto the west

Hidden in the cold, hard, forbidding rock
Is a door as old as key or lock
Amid the snowy, arching pines
That only true of heart can find"
