obehiD: Publishing updates for those who've read and follow the human part of the Marked Series: =============================================================
This week, I received the biggest disappointment of my writing life. My publishers, who I’ve been working with for the last year and a half, decided to terminate my contract. It’s been a very hard week for me, trying to get past the disappointment and keep writing and figure out what to do next with my Marked series.
I’m not sure yet when/how I’m going to publish White Sight: The Awakening, but I’ve decided that it’s not fair to my Crimson Night readers who’ve been waiting to read Awakening to drag this process out for another year or two (which is what will inevitably happen if I try to go down the rabbit hole of traditional publishing again, with this book).
So, while I decide on how to officially publish this book, I want to give some of my Crimson Night readers, who’ve been so supportive and patient with me and this story, the chance to be alpha readers for the next book in the Marked series. What that means is that you’ll be agreeing to read a rough draft of the Awakening story in exchange for feedback that can help me improve on the work as is. If you are interested, please leave a comment on here with this post quoted and I will send you an email through Nairaland.
If there's anyone on here who read Awakening back when I posted it on NL and would be interested in helping me out as an alpha reader please let me know. This is a second version of the book with most of the same plot themes, but the story has been redone. I made one big change to the marks, so I got rid of werewolves and made them werejackals instead. Anyway, it would be nice to have some comparisons between the previous version I had on Nairaland with what I have now if anyone who has already read it before is willing to read it again. Let me know and I will reach out to you.
Thanks in advance! Hi ObehiD, sorry about the disappointment. Hopefully a better door will open up in future.. I will like to be one of the readers and will definitely send you feedback... |

Azmanaty: just hear urself justifying evil.. One day, I will report to the police that ur mom is a kidnapper and they will arrest and kill her like this; no court proceeding. Only then U will know that the accused also have their rights Just hear yourself spewing trash... One day 8 hefty ugly, smelling touts will come to your house! Rape your mother and sisters in turns and then will go scot free... Idiots who haven’t seen anything |

People who have never been faced with the mayhem these miscreants can cause will be shouting about human rights and the rest... We all know how our courts are and what obtains there... Many of these criminals will get out and do more if allowed to live.
I remember vividly the story of that Badoo guy that they caught and gave to the police. He escaped and that same night was back wrecking havoc once more. When the people caught him again they did jungle justice on him and stopped him once and for all...
Even the developed nations all had their phases of jungle justice in the past... [quote][/quote] |

Ijawwomaninoyo: It is obvious the woman is a single parent and is the girl's problem. It was in Benin I saw women sitting down waiting for their teenage daughters who went for prostitution. They then compare income and whose daughter that made most money is hailed while the others rebuked their children. I was shocked to the bone marrow! You are a poor liar!!! |

Fazemood: Honestly I don't really know where this novel is heading. Its totally opposite from its beginning. And definitely from the past story. Where is Nebud heading? What is the need of the long details of its education when it can not even use it wisely. I am totally disappointed with this Uspec.
Obehid sorry but I am not seeing any improvement in Nebud and its getting difficult to focus on this story as each episode passes. Hey take am easy aii, it's a complex story (plot twists and turns are a sine qua non)... It is about how Nebud became who he currently is... His recollections of his past and the events that helped shape who he became. Reading it piecemeal update by update is quite difficult because of the suspense and anticipation for the next update and development of the story. I'm positive it will all come together like a beautiful tapestry at the end... PS: ObehiD thanks for the good works so far, if possible please increase the length of the updates as per popular demand... 1 Like |
