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!

4090+ Zeta Preview Website Downloads!

Advertising the biggest preview to Yscariot: Sphere of Light was kind of slow with the big move to another city last year and the push to have the novel completed in early 2016. Other things like travel and writing breaks also prevented me from advertising. However, an attempt to advertise occurred for a 2-day only period, and about 1000 more downloads for the “Zeta Preview” of Yscariot™ were recorded through the website alone!

A major thank you to the people who took the time to visit the site and make 19/30 chapters a part of their digital library! If you haven’t yet done so, visit the DOWNLOADS page to get a free preview today!

Happy New Years, from X’el Studios! X’ELCAST #6

Hope you’re all enjoying the first moments of the new year. I will be speaking a little bit about statistical highlights surrounding this webpage and the downloads that you all so wonderfully had been a part of in 2015. With the statistical data disappearing after the passing of each month, I decided to document them before I never have the chance to do so again. Out of the last 3 years since the opening of this site, 2015 was the most successful by a long shot!

Once again, I want to thank you, the visitors and downloading readers who made this all possible 🙂
