“I know of the Storyteller,” it whispers into the man’s ear, “I’ve met him. If you promise not to kill me, I’ll take you to him.”

Did you miss getting a signed copy of “Seeking the Storyteller” at one of our conventions? Would you like a signed copy complete with a one of a kind sketch in the front of one of the characters? Of course you would! Check out our Etsy store for your copy now!

All right.  This is a thing now.  And it’s taking a while for it to set in that it is a thing, but it’s a thing, and I want this thing to shine.  Spread the word, get a copy, leave a review, this whole thing means the world to me and my partner.  This is our baby.  It sounds weird, but it is.  This is how we stayed in touch while we lived apart and it’s so hard to believe after all of these years, this is a thing now.  

So help us get it out there  <3  And, most of all, enjoy it.

Possible cover number 2!!

Here’s the second proof we received from our cover artist.  Alix and Fagan are peering around the corner at… a lurk.  

 Potential cover #2: by rain-arc.com and lorbot.deviantart.com

And a little snippet to go with it:

The Lurkhamara was glaring at them, its arm extended out as shadows leaked from its fingers and dripped onto the ground.  Instead of speaking a command, the words attack and destroy appeared over the creatures’ bodies, the shadows’ loud screech piercing into the air.  These small, round creatures were quickly scurrying after them like rabid parasites.  None of them had eyes to see, instead they were made of toxic shadows that seemed to kill the plant life and land that the creatures touched.  As they got closer Fagan could see that a few of them had large holes that served as mouths, sharp teeth dangling and ready to strike.  Fagan glanced back at Alix, frowning, “Alix, backup!”

“Allow me.”  Yvonne smirked and stepped past Fagan, pushing his hand out.  What was a small flame at his fingertips surged forward, exploding in a wave of yellow and red flames.  The strange shadowy creatures wailed in protest, their bodies instantly melting from the heat.

Cover number two!

Hey everyone.  Are you wanting a new modern day supernatural adventure series to follow?  Check out this one!  Coming soon is “Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller,” a new book series by me and snowtigra.  

Follow the series page here:  Hunters.

huntersseries:

The first book of the Hunters series is currently with the publisher, in the editing queue.  So while we all wait for updates, here’s an interesting tidbit.

This series started out as a role play between my partner and I while we had a long distance relationship in college.  She was down in Iowa and I was up here in Minnesota.  I drove down to see her at least once a month (a four hour drive one way!) and during the rest of the month we hung out on mIRC and AIM throwing our favorite anime characters into new plotlines of our own creation.  Somewhere along the line these characters took on personalities, lives and stories of their own so they were completely different from the characters they were named after.  Years later I got bored at work and wrote a scene between two of the characters just for fun, and that became the first scene of this book.

While we wait, I’d love to answer questions about the series if you guys have any.  So, any questions for me?

Hey everyone, in case you missed it, I have another book coming out.  This one is with my lovely partner and it has its very own tumblr page since it’s going to be a series.  Be sure to follow it to get the latest updates  :)  There’s already a few teasers and snippets posted.

Also, we’re both open for questions in regards to the series, or writing in general  ^^

OMG!  You guys!  The girls of Grave Impressions (check out their webcomic btw it’s great) did some lovely watercolor art of Haven and Cyn!  Haven and Cyn are one of our favorite couples in the Hunters series, and these girls did wonderful fanart of them.

A bit of background:  Haven is use to being on the run, moving from place to place as he runs away from something he doesn’t quite understand. Meanwhile, Cyn is a pretty moody, gothic girl with a big attitude, but she uses it to hide the secrets of her dark past. I’m so happy with this picture, it’s all watercolor and gorgeous! They’re going to ship it to us, and we hope to use it to promote the book at conventions :)

Gorgeous fanart is gorgeous  *__*  Will most definitely be working with these wonderful artists again!

Huzzah for our first original fanart from our book  *__*  Thank you so much to the ladies of Grave Impressions.  I want to have a lovely table at a con with all of the wonderful arts that people do for us.

So we just edited the story again and added some stuff, took out some stuff, did some general stuffs, and stuff.  Anyhow, in this snippet, Fagan, Alix, and Katalynne are trying to figure out things about the demons who are now in their basement and several things their old friend, Xaver, left behind before he was killed.

I wanted to post this part because it has a lot of dialogue between the group, so you get a feel for how they are around each other.  That and I really like writing Katalynne, like a lot, she’s like awesome secretary-chan and I love her to pieces.  This piece is pretty plot heavy, as important things are discovered.

So Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller is the joint story my partner and I have been working on since, well… college.  Back then it was a roleplay we’d do with anime and video game characters, then at some point we realized that the likes of Gaara from Naruto wasn’t really Gaara anymore… 

And thus, this series was born  :)  

Other parts can be read here for those in the mood for urban supernatural full of demons that live in our world.  It takes place in Minneapolis/St. Paul, and actual places in the Twin Cities actually show up (we drive around a lot and map out where places are in the story).

No major warnings for the story, not the first book anyway.  And, of course, it’s just going to be little teasers, no full chapters or anything like that since we are working to get this published.  So far it’s on the, “one publisher is interested and one agent is interested, let’s see how this goes,” stage.  It’s already had some much needed edits thanks to the agent’s suggestions  :)

And reblogging to my normal blog because I can?  YOU SHOULD READ HUNTERS!  Urm… that is the extent of my advertising skills early in the morning… 

Check out the Hunters blog where the story bits will be posted:  Please notice me, senpai!

Check out my writing blog where all of my writings will be posted, not just Hunters:  You still haven’t noticed me, please notice me senpai!

Sorry for not updating this in a while, we’re working hard on editing the story since there is both an agent and a publisher interested, so we’re trying to get it to its absolute best! 

Here’s a quick snippet via Katalynne Cove — Fagan’s lovely secretary — and a small explanation of what Hunters are (and some possible hints of an OTP?)  Takes place fairly early in the story?

A bit more of Hunters:  Seeking the Storyteller.  I hope people are enjoying these snippets.  Remember, you can follow the blog for updates and information  :)

So, who is Mira exactly?  She’s been mentioned before.  She’s a key part to all of the stories in general since she is the daughter of the Storyteller.  With such a prestigious title, you’d think she be less chipper.  Unfortunately, for Cyn, that’s not the case at all.

Warnings:  Sunshine, rainbows, happiness, and a very bouncy fox.

More of the original story!  Seriously, original writings are probably going to take over my life for a bit  ^^;;;  I’m sure I’ll get back to headcanons soon enough, or that pop idol Naoto fic, but I gotta pimp out my original work if I’m going to land this whole writing thing!

If you actually want to keep track, check out the blog  :)

One of the reasons why I love Cyn so much is because she’s sort of the resident cynical girl who lives in our world, so she knows the different mannerisms of humans that the demons don’t get — moreso than Alix and Fagan, who spend their days hunting.  So she’s the character who will get the geeky references to things that no one else will, as seen in the following snippet.

Note:  Katalynne hasn’t been properly introduced, just know that she’s Fagan’s awesome secretary who doesn’t get paid enough for what she has to deal with  ^^  Oh!  And this sort of introduces Mira, briefly?  She’ll get a proper introduction, I promise! 

Note behind a cut because it’s only a few paragraphs  :)

Everyone in the room - aside from Haven - stared at her fox like ears that jutted out from the sides of her head, her hair falling down her back.

Cyn was the first one to react.  “Great, so you have cat ears.  How is that supposed to tell us anything?”

“I am not a cat!”  

“You have cat ears-”

“I’m a fox!”  Mira hit the table lightly with her hand to make her point more clear but this only resulted in Cyn smirking in amusement.  For a moment it looked like she was going to yell again, but the girl took a deep breath and relaxed in her seat.

“I take it cat demons are different?”  Katalynne asked, moving her fingers across the tablet to pull up information.

“Wait, so cat girls are real?”  Cyn asked, sounding a bit scared.

“Of course they are,” Mira said, “But they’re kind of annoying.”

“You don’t know the half of it.”

Another really short snippet before I leave work.  I hope you guys are actually enjoying these  ^^;;;  And remember, you can follow the actual Hunters blog for more  :)

huntersseries:

Oh wow, we actually have followers!  Awesome!  It’s Monday morning, time for a snippet of the story!  Cyn is one of my favorite characters in the story as a whole.  She’s got a whole lot of attitude and it’s a bad idea to piss her off, but as you get to know her you realize… it’s still a bad idea to piss her off  ^^;;;

This section also introduces Haven and a fight scene in the story.  Fight scenes man, they’re interesting to write.  You sort of have a plan then as you’re doing it you’re telling yourself, “Did this character attack yet?  He probably should so he’s not left out in the battle.”

This takes place after the last snippet, in with Fagan and Alix received a call from their old friend, Xaver.

Another snippet of the story posted.  Enjoy!

huntersseries:

Suddenly, you’re greeted by a young girl who smiles happily.  She has the type of cuteness that makes people stop and take notice, but what sets her apart from your normal cute, sweet girl are the furry, pointy ears and the soft tail that wags behind her.  

“Hi hi!  Mira here!”  She says, giggling as she speaks, “You haven’t met me yet, but I couldn’t wait to meet all of you!  Zach says that this is a computer, and this is something called the internet, and there’s pictures, and people, and things!  So many things!  And-… h-hey!”  The small Chromebook is quickly snatched away from the bouncy fox girl.

“Please forgive her for existing.”  This new girl is the complete opposite of Mira.  She glares at everything within her range, from the sun for being far too bright, to the Chromebook for not being dark enough.  She’s dressed in fishnet, her hair a wild shade of red until she dies it into a different color, “Mira is a Scough, a demon way of saying ‘bouncy annoying thing with cat ears.”  

“Cyn!”  The girl puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, “I’m not a cat!  I’m a fox!”

“Whatever,” the goth girl muttered, rolling her eyes, “Anyhow, you all haven’t met me either, but you will soon… unfortunately,” Cyn sighed, “Have a good night, and please, leave me alone.”

“Not me!”  Mira cried out, “I want to get to know all of you!!!”

Who are these two characters?  Stay tuned to find out!  Good night  :)

Just having a bit of fun before bed.  Good night, everyone  :)
