Okay, as part of what I promised. Here is the link to The Wildwose, a free Urionverse SS you can download from Smashwords.
Cheers
Rayo
Oh, yeah, the link is http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/32297 (http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/32297)

This is a great short story! But then again I'm biased... ;) I also highly recommend downloading and reading Sudden Dearth, the link for which is in Rayo's signature.
-
Well done sir!

Well done sir!
Many thanks. Glad you liked it. You can download 40% of Sudden Dearth or sign up to my FB page or blog for more. I will keep posting more chapters of Urion's Belt on the Non BT page.
Thanks again

Done and done ;D

Accepted as an FB Friend. Have a look on BTU and CBT and you'll see some more free stuff - Euthan Palace is the latest.

I have to make time to take a look Rayo but keep writing!
-
Don't worry - I'll keep writing. The next publication on Smashwords will be a Four Short Story anthology set in the Urionverse. My idea is to include the following:
The Dark Wheel - spin the wheel and take a chance
Four Minutes - not a second more to save the world
Knight's Charge - The Wildwose with a twist
Eternal - everlasting life, but not as we know it.
There still could be a change as I'm n two minds about the fourth one.
Watch this space...

Okay, progress so far
Dark Wheel - Complete and ready to go
Four Minutes - Ditto
Knight's Charge - last editing
Eternal - ending in rewrite
Watch this space...

I'm watching intently... ;D

Three down...one to go... :o

Anyone want a new year freebie - The Dark Wheel could be a Shattered Dawn exclusive - convince me...Mwuah-ha :-*
-
Sounds interesting Rayo, what did you have in mind?
-
I was thinking of posting this short exclusively here on Shattered Dawn - the only place to read it before it is included in an Anthology for sale on Smashwords.
May be it might bring more traffic to SD?? Only members can read it perhaps?
Then, I would like to see if anyone has an idea for artwork.
Oh, as the title says, it's pretty dark ;)
-
It IS a Horror/SF mix - again set in the Urionverse ;D
-
I think that is a great idea Rayo, if your up for it!
-
Up for it, definitely. Now how do we do it so that only members see it???
Rayo
-
I can do this two ways:
1. Close the Not BattleTech category to non-members.
2. Create a new category for stories such as these and restrict it to members only.
Let me know what you guys would like and I will do it.

-
Why don't we create a new area for Shattered Dawn Exclusives and call it such. Exclusives. We should advertise. Knightmare has been bugging me to do something similar for awhile now. ;)
-
Let me know when it is set up

Cool 8)
It works. Start plugging folks!!! ;D

I do so like Shattered Dawn for a title - the eve of a battle, with the ghosts of a recent past...just musing ::)

For those interested, for one month only Sudden Dearth is being offered at 50% discount on Smashwords. Let me know if you are interested and I will post the Coupon Code here. ;)
Rat, as you have already bought your copy, I will send you a free sample of another of the shorts - which is becoming longer by the day!!! It is a follow-up to The Wildwose and keeps growing on me!!! Oh, and did you read all of SALIGIA - can't remember :-[
Cheers
Rayo

I think I did read all of it on your blog. I'd be happy to get a full copy though.

The first part of a new members' exclusive will be coming soon. It was sparked by some musings of mine over the site title - A Shattered Dawn - and it is sort of growing from there...
Watch this space...well the Exclusives forum anyway :D
-
Will it be in the BT universe or the Urionverse?

How about one of each? The Urionverse first and then a BT one.
For the BT one we could ask for a time period suggestion and I could write around that. Anyone else who wants to do their own take on a particular BT scenario could give it a shot too.
What do you think?
-
For the BT story I suggest the time period of this site, approximately 2770-2790. There is enough going on within the Shattered Dawn universe during that time... ;D

That would be good - or just pick one - Rim worlds sounds good ;)

I've downloaded the first four project books from Shattered Core - do you have other stuff? :)

Very interesting, I await this latest inspiration.

I will tag it onto The Dark Wheel thread...soon.
The first one will be the Urionverse story ;)

Will it be a BattleTech setting Rayo?

There's a thought - A Mech in my setting - a crossover-hmmmm 8)
-
Maybe Arshavin would be involved? He might have been working on something prior to Sudden Dearth. Then there are the RPD units in Euthan Palace. They might not be BT 'Mechs, but they would be mecha.
-
Hey I love giant robots! ;)

You wanna write this story? ;)
If not, you won't mind if I plagarize you?
Seriously, you do the Arshavin one and I'll work in the other. You have the author's permission ;D

Me too...keep reading Euthan Palace ;)

I will seriously consider it. I think I have a fairly good understanding of the Urionverse so far. I would just need any background information/concepts that you have regarding Arshavin.
Go ahead and "plagiarize" me! ;D I was just tossing out ideas.

The Anthology is called The Gift. I have now sorted out the artwork in my head ad the cover art is done.
The concept behind the Anthology is that everyone likes to receive a gift, but as usual in the Urionverse, you never quite get what you expected...
I will confirm when the stories are approved by Smashwords

Awesome! I can't wait to read it, Rayo. ;D I've missed reading your stories.

Am now half-way through the Spanish Translation of The Wildwose and it's doing my head in!!! :o
Need some beer!!
-
Yeah translating is tough.
-
(sending over a 12-pack of Rayo's favorite beer)
I hope this helps! It frustrating just writing a story, I can't imagine how much more frustrating it is to translate it. Good luck!

Okay, all now complete and the red pen is being applied to the final edit.
The Wildwose will be available in Spanish before the end of the month.
