Firstly a shout out to fellow blogger Subzero. Been silent for a month after his leg operation and his brother, Enrique, tells me the old fellow is currently going through rehabilitation treatment for the leg.
Get well soon, Subzero!!
And now.....
Green aurorae, video footage of "giant UFOs near the sun", earthquakes, several asteroid close passes...these things are all mounting up to the best pre-publication publicity ever and I swear none of it has anything to do with me. Seriously.
Early last year I did the Mayan prediction of The Many Eyed One's coming which included "a blood plague" and someone said: "Hey -Ebola!" Sorry, but despite the suggestions I am NOT going to use thousands of deaths to publicise a book!
But the green aurorae and other things I will!
Which brings me to The Green Skies book.
I sat down yesterday morning and by the end of a tiring day had completed five more pages. You know I wrote that I had "completed the Chinese part" of the book's action? I lied. I added a couple more pages to cover the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong and then some pages for Singapore.
All of which means that I can now move on to the pages covering India, Africa and other nations.
I would have to guess that I have gone well past the 320 pages mark. How big will this book eventually be? I have no idea. The initial storyline (typed up but no script remember) has been so altered by things happening "in the moment" while drawing that even I have no idea how it all ends (I really am not kidding).
But I did say this was going to be the third and final part of the Invasion Earth trilogy, that should have been Invasion Earth 1987, and my last major book.
Judging by the sales of Return Of The Gods: Twilight Of The Super Heroes and The Cross Earths Caper, though, it won't be paying for my retirement!!
June deadline for publication...meh. Who knows.
Get well soon, Subzero!!
