It’s that time of year…

The holidays are among us. As Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby stocked for the occasion several months ago, Halloween strikes the first of the major holiday season.

But to pc gamers, the holidays only means one thing. SALES!

I am an active user of Steam, a DRM for pc games. They are always having huge sales you will never get with console games (sorry console gamers.) Point and case, the Halloween Steam Sale.When I began my adventures into pc gaming, I would become broke within several days of one of these holiday sales. Gabe Newell knows how to get your money.

Now, this video is for the summer sale from this past summer, but I believe it still holds many aspects to any Steam Sale survival.

As for me, I’m going to ignore the sale this time, and continue in working on my sequel getting finalized. Just waiting on the cover really. Aside from waiting, the third installment of the Shattered Soul series is coming along nicely, and so is the first extension from the series. These next two won’t be far apart from my sequel, I’m making sure of that.

Tron Inspired the Lightning Plane

I’ve been a huge fan of Disney’s Tron for years. The idea of a world inside computers sounds so cool! The Grid was a huge inspiration for the idea of my Lightning Plane.

The Lightning Plane in my novel is accessed only by those of the Lightning Element, like Ace Venx. A Lightning Elementalist must use a source of electricity or something that has electricity running through it, like computers.

I couldn’t pass the chance to homage to my favourite Disney movie(s). The Lightning Plane is a digital frontier with a fast paced environment. Made up of things that look like the inside of a computer, the plane is probably the more unique amongst the other planes that are in the novel or future novels.

More are the come in the next books, so keep an eye out for Elements of Blood soon!
