<br /><br />
Here's the cover I designed for the vampire story set in the Klondike of the late 1800s.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Description:<br /><br />
<i>Invited north by his estranged friend and instructor, Pastor Léon Chevalier and his newlywed wife Joliette learn that the region is plagued by vampires. On a quest for answers they assemble a group to help uncover the Bishop’s reason behind his unholy pact with the devil.</i><br /><br /><br />

The final eBook came to an estimated 245 pages (79,450 words), and it was graciously edited by <i>Joe Goodwill</i>. It has certainly had been a labor of love.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Jonah the
Wolf</b> is about a blood-thirsty spirit on the prowl. But once he had tasted life as a
mortal he will do anything it takes to return to his former glory, even if it
means destroying a newlywed family that has bought the old estate he had built
in a former life. I wrote the story for adults, but I think today's young adult might also enjoy the story.</span></div>

But only these two will allow a free sample to read from.</span></div>

I mostly hang out at <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/tomolan/boards/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mickey.sylvestre" target="_blank">Facebook </a>doing my usual shit.<br />But today I'm very happy. Today I have my edited science fiction eBook "<a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/383091" target="_blank">Rusted Remains</a>" loaded up and for sale on <a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/383091" target="_blank">smashwords</a>. I first had it available on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rusted-Remains-Mick-Sylvestre-ebook/dp/B005H82Z3U/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385897236&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=rsuted+remains" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, but I have high hopes of getting it on <i>Google Books</i> soon enough.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is the <i>new cover update</i>.<br />I wanted to touch-up the old one I had designed for me and take it up a notch. Give it a bit of wear and grunge to it.</div>

I need to hire an <a href="https://www.scribendi.com/" target="_blank">editor</a> to proof read it and because the book is 137,369 words, it isn't going to be cheap. No one said being talented and poor was going to be an easy climb out.<br /><br />This story I really like and put about 2-3 years into writing. I try to keep these eBooks interesting for both adults and for the kids. Unlike the three horror stories I have yet to do a second draft on.<br />I need to save up my coins and get this baby out.<br />

I usually am on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mickey.sylvestre" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, or <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, so dedicating any time on my blog is kind of moot.<br />
So far my upcoming e-novel "<i><b>The Dragon Emissary</b></i>" is coming along. I finished the 1st draft and now on the 2nd draft (Chapter 20 as of Sept 12th). It's a total of 60 chapters and it's over 100,00 words.<br />
Like my other e-novel "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rusted-Remains-ebook/dp/B005H82Z3U/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1347730425&sr=1-1&keywords=rusted+remains" target="_blank">Rusted Remains</a>" (available on Amazon), is for<i> teen</i> <i>to young adult</i> .<br />

Corrode (a relic cyborg with a human past) drifts aimlessly through a ruined colony ship, searching for a purpose. Hunted for answers he does not have; a motley crew of machines bent on saving the world rescues him from deletion. Together they must save Arkus-12 from destruction. Can Corrode learn from the past in time to save their future?<br /><br />I have a free issue available to bloggers willing to read the novel and give a fair response, but so far…no takers. I will not give up!<br /><br />Also, I have two free chapters available for those who just want to read a sample before buying it.<br /><br />Detailed Synopsis and Characters link bellow:</span></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.shelfari.com/books/25263825/Rusted-Remains"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">http://www.shelfari.com/books/25263825/Rusted-Remains</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><br />The link to purchase the kindle e-book, or read the first two chapters FREE!<br /></span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rusted-Remains-ebook/dp/B005H82Z3U"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">http://www.amazon.com/Rusted-Remains-ebook/dp/B005H82Z3U</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><br />Before next I will have a printed book available illustrations throughout.<br /><br />If the books does better in sales I want to do a graphic novel of the story.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Sept 2011</span></div>Mick Sylvestrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18152633153477356720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13016509.post-17265889172617544732007-10-28T14:01:00.000-07:002010-09-08T19:45:33.639-07:00Canadian Artist – Mickey Sylvestre<div><a href="http://www.imagekind.com/GalleryProfile.aspx?gid=8363b152-0280-4c37-af1a-15d23a05afd4"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 168px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 319px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126506548375735570" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KPgHbkJAdkQ/RyUCi1qmTRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BDuC8dKDbdw/s320/ik_promo.jpg" width="131" height="194" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KPgHbkJAdkQ/RyUIXFqmTTI/AAAAAAAAAAc/aip_aj5iG4E/s1600-h/MSylvestre.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mickey.sylvestre"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 138px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 181px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514738669094977026" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KPgHbkJAdkQ/TIhJmeiEPgI/AAAAAAAAACE/VRwvGSt_jGs/s320/MickFace41.jpg" /></a><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Welcome to My blog.</span><br /></span></strong><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">I started drawing at age six and from there I continued developing my interests in the arts. In my late twenties I started taking a few fine art classes and ended graduating from College with a diploma in the graphic and visual arts field. Over the years I've developed this painting series you see in my Sylvestre Studios gallery. My painting style is a <em>hybrid derivation</em> of Australian (<em>Papunya Tula</em> or “<em>Dot-Art</em>”), <em>Mayan</em>, <em>Aztec</em> and <em>ancient Egyptian artwork</em>. I hope you tell others to come and see some more of my work as it grows over time.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;">Some sites I sell through sell high quality framed and matted prints like: </span><a href="http://www.imagekind.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://www.imagekind.com/</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><span style="font-size:85%;">.</span> <a href="http://www.printpop.com/index.php?step=portfolio&nickname=sylvestrestudios"></a><br /></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">Come and view my collection of work:</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KPgHbkJAdkQ/RyUOYlqmTVI/AAAAAAAAAAs/gxDMjOWnT-4/s1600-h/MyArtBanner.jpg"></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KPgHbkJAdkQ/RyUOYlqmTVI/AAAAAAAAAAs/gxDMjOWnT-4/s1600-h/MyArtBanner.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/tomolan/afterdarkpaintings.htm"><img style="WIDTH: 340px;
