ALPHA FILES; SPECIAL EDITION REMOVED FROM KindleUnlimited!?

Leave a comment

Special Edition eBook Available!

The Special Edition eBook of Yscariot: Sphere of Light has been removed from the KindleUnlimited program for reasons unknown. This could possibly be due to the concept of introducing new content [hopefully] every season. Regardless of the reason, this works in our favor as we originally looked to pull the eBook from the program to track data easier.

Valentine’s Day is soon to pass worldwide, but the new blank love card is now available for download and can be used on any occasion, as the author stopped observing the event in favor of his LOVE EVERYDAY mantra.

SPECIAL EDITION novel soon! The ALPHA FILES will be released as roll-out content in the next few days. These pages will also be included in an illustrated version of the book to be determined on a later date.Remember YSCARIOT: ALPHA? It will make its return as selected pages of the hybrid book has been remade as bonus pages for the Special Edition book. In addition, the Double Zero verses will also extend the story with a journal entry that helps understand some of the story’s background.

TRIVIA: The attack done by Yscariot to Dreas was a favorite move first demonstrated in Tekken 3 by the character, Hwoarang from around the time the move was inspired a year before the story’s conception.

In appreciation for all that my mother, and grandmother especially, has done for me and my family, I dedicate this art, illustrated by fellow team member and artist, Gladys Betiles, to my mother. You can also spread the love, too! Whether it’s your mother’s birthday, Mother’s Day, or any day… send this image to your mother, or simply give her a hug.

I thank my mother for her support of my story! It is a long process, but I am getting there! To see the biography of Yscariot’s mother, Maryam, simply click here or visit the character glossary!

Return from a Season Hiatus

3 Comments

Very little activity was done during the Winter and Spring  seasons in terms of editing. With several changes happening in Korea, returning to the USA to visit family and friends, and recharging that motivation to get back into writing, it was only a matter of time that I would get back to the story.

While on that break, I was able to come up with ways to strengthen my story and a new idea for another story was born! I will reveal it sometime soon as it was only conceived while on a trip to Shenyang-Beijing (China). To add, I was accepted into Shanghai University’s Master’s Program. Yes, I need a break from traditional work so that I can focus more on myself and my own personal goals. Yscariot being one of them.

Here is an update on Yscariot™: Sphere of Light (novel manuscript):
