BLOODSHOT: KINGDOM OF SHADOWS

Jonathan Janz · Post by **Jonathan Janz** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 6:43 pm

Hey, folks. I know this is bad form and all, but ever since I began writing the below story I've been lurking here on your message board. There's a topic about Kindle Worlds already, but since my tale is a complete novel and something a little different, I thought I might start a new topic for it.

Anyway, I'd like to announce a brand-new Kindle Worlds novel featuring a character with whom all of you are familiar: BLOODSHOT: KINGDOM OF SHADOWS. I'm extremely excited and very humbled to be able to use such an amazing character in an original story.

Here's the cover:

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Bloodshot-Kingdom ... 319&sr=1-5

And here's my blog post about it: http://jonathanjanz.com/bloodshot-kingdom-of-shadows/

I'd love to discuss the book with you all, and I apologize for making my first post here an advertisement.

Thanks, all, and I'll talk to you soon!

I've enjoyed the kindle worlds stories I've read so far, but most have been too short for my liking. A full novel sounds good. I'll check it out.

I don't think anyone will consider it poor form as long as you are a fan and interested in interacting. We often have writers, editors, artists, colonists, etc from VALIANT on the board interacting with us and welcome them. Many here are writers and creator types themselves. Thanks for joining

Thank you so much, BugsySig. I appreciate your giving me the benefit of the doubt. I definitely want to get to know you all on a non-lurking basis (man, that sounded creepy!) and plan on visiting here often. Okay, I guess I already do that, but I'll try to post on a fairly regular basis.

Thanks again for your kindness, and I hope you enjoy the novel!

Thank you, bygranddesign! I totally agree about the cover. I'm very fortunate to have that art attached to my novel.

Hah! I didn't even notice that in BugsySig's post. I want to be a colonist too!

And thank you for the welcome, lorddunlow. I've really enjoyed reading this forum for the past few months and am grateful for the chance to interact with you all.

I'm assuming you mean colonist in the General Redacted sense, yes? No wonder you're so eager.

Hey, thanks, BloodShot! I'd certainly buy an energy drink with that name.

I agree with you on the cover and appreciate your checking the book out. Thanks, and have a good one!

Welcome to posting on the boards, Jonathan! Very cool looking KW book you've done, did you have any input on choosing that cover? I'm curious as to who did it.

I haven't checked out any of the KW books yet, but they do tempt me so...

Knightt · Post by **Knightt** » Thu Oct 31, 2013 7:50 pm

Purchased !!!

I will be tearing into it very soon.

Hey, grendeljd, thank you so much for the kind welcome! I really hope you check out Bloodshot: Kingdom of Shadows, but either way I really appreciate the good words.

I agree with you about the cover. The artist is the extremely talented Anthony Castrillo. I didn't have any input on the art, but maybe that's good--I couldn't have imagined anything a fraction as cool as what Anthony created.

Talk to you soon, grendeljd!
