Good evening, dear fans!
(posted with permission)
As you can see for yourself when you look inside hm_ascendent3, I have given it a face lift to go with the soon to be posted Part Two of the Hellmouth Ascendant trilogy. I don't want to say very much about the new book other than what the layout shows because I don't want to spoil any surprises that Deacon has in store, but be warned that things will get progressively darker as Midnight lasts. Don't lose all hope, though, because while it's true that Midnight is the darkest time of night, it is also the very middle of the night, as the term so aptly shows, and Dawn is bound to come around to lighten things up after a while.
What we've been up to
Throughout the summer we have been re-reading Book One of the Hellmouth Ascendant Trilogy to make sure that all the i's were dotted, the t's crossed and that any accidental inconsistencies we found were fixed. Luckily, we came up with nothing big, so the only new thing you'll find we did was to re-format the chapters to make them more uniform in style to give you a better reading experience.
Should you feel a need to re-read Dusk from the beginning for a better understanding of Book Two, click HERE for the first chapter, OR if you just want to refresh your memory on how the book ended, click HERE for the last chapter. There are links to both the next and the previous chapter on every entry.
NEW! "Dusk" is now available in PDF format. Everyone who comments with their e-mail address shall be the proud owner of all 5,99 MB and 484 pages of the first book in the trilogy. You can choose between a regular book and an autographed copy (we will be needing your preferred name for that one). You better hurry, though, because this is a limited time offer: it starts today, October 15, and ends on November 30, lasting six weeks. The comments will be screened for your security, but you can also email your request to hm_ascendent3 @ yahoo . ca
Book Two: Midnight
With Halloween just around the corner, the opportunity to post our magical story on such a magical date was just too great to pass. Barring any unforeseen incidences, the first chapter of "Book Two: Midnight" will go live on Friday, October 31, right after the clock announces the witching hour here in Europe.
The following is a hint of things to look forward to in "Midnight".
"A Darkness is Coming...
Buffy, Alec and their family have retrieved the vaunted Everstone - the first of three sacred artifacts required to banish the awakened Hellmouth from this world forever - but their success may lead to their own destruction and the destruction of all they hold dear.
Like a stopper pulled, the retrieval of the Everstone has set loose a maelstrom of powers. Things not dared been mentioned in all the ages of the world, stir and awaken within their putrescent hives in answer to the Hellmouth’s call. Clawing their way free from the poisoned earth, they are driven towards a single goal - the capture of the Key and the destruction of all the world.
For there is no victory without sacrifice, the heroes and their loved ones are at the forefront of this desperate stand against annihilation and a price must be paid. Some shall pay with their sanity. Some shall pay with their blood. And some shall pay with their immortal souls.
As midnight falls, none shall be left untouched and no heart shall be left unscathed. For as terrifying and consuming as the dangers are that wait beyond their family... they pale in comparison to the evil that waits within.
...Midnight Falls."
Other information
The posting schedule will remain as it previously was - a chapter every other Saturday - which means that ch. 2 will be posted on November 15.
Feedback and critique are the fuel that stokes the fires of creativity. If you've taken the time to read a chapter or story, please leave a comment to the author with your thoughts of it through either the comment form or by emailing it to hm_ascendent3 @ yahoo.ca. Although constructive criticism is very appreciated, you don't have to write a long reply; a few words is enough to show you are there and reading.
And, finally, a little bit about HM3. Everyone is free and welcome to add hm_ascendent3 to their friends' list for easier following; you can even join if you want to, the membership is open, but the posting is limited to selected members to prevent spamming.
That is all. Comment/e-mail away if you want a copy of Dusk, otherwise, enjoy the rest of your day.
