Hi, gang. Ryan here. Just wanted to say Hello once more and give a second gentle reminder to cast your vote for  Eye Candy  in the  Indie Author Land 50 Self-Published Books Worth Reading (2013/14)  contest. Eye Candy has been short-listed and is in the Top 12 in the Sci Fi category. IndieAuthorLand sent out an email a few days ago. They wouldn't say which books were leading in each category, but they did reveal those in positions 4, 5, 6, & 7. They're narrowing down to the TOP FIVE in each category. EYE CANDY was not in position 4, 5, 6, or 7. It could therefore be Top 3. Please take 15-20 seconds and click the link below and vote for Eye Candy. You can vote once per day for a total of 5 votes. If we all vote, that's another 100 votes per day. THANK YOU. :P http://www.indieauthorland.com/vote-50-self-published-books-worth-reading-201314-science-fiction/

Hi, everybody. I'm pleased, excited, and relieved to announce that Book 2 of The Demon Drivers Trilogy is nearly ready. So I thought it would be fun to share the cover art with all of you. The original artwork and the cover design were done by a talented artist from Switzerland named Jens Heidemann. Jens also did the cover for Book 1 - THE BEGINNING. He is currently working on Book 3 as well. Jens and I met on Freelancer.com after I posted an ad requesting a cover designer. He's been a dream to work with, so if you're looking for a talented artist who likes to collaborate and is open to suggestion and seriously knows his way around Photoshop and rendering software, he's your man. Email Jens at:  je.heidemann@gmail.com Above right is a trade paperback mock up. And do remember to vote for Eye Candy in the IndieAuthorLand Best Indie Book competition. It'll just take a second to help push Eye Candy to the top! And if you've ALREADY voted, ...
