Thank you, BK. I am glad you like it. I happen to enjoy writing it.

I can't wait to see how these new powers affect Julian... Ooohh!!

And to think we've only gotten a small taste of what Julian and Cristobal will be able to do together. I'm waiting to see what happens next.

Julian is always collecting new powers. Some powers are easier to control than others. I'm working on Chapter 11. Chapter 10 happens to be in beta.

And chapter 10 will be a fun chapter to read.

I'm sure of that!!

Hi Tim. Like I told you yesterday I'm not really into Sci-Fi/Fantasy except for superficial stuff like Star Trek. But I promised you I'd at least read chapter one of Dark Earth: The Prophecy. I did that and was almost instantly hooked. This is definitely the right genre for you. It's clear that you love it because the enthusiasm is evident in the way you write it. As I've told only a very few other authors, it's almost like watching a movie in my mind. I know you'll be a hosted author very soon!

Tim is one step closer to Hosted. CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING ONE OF THE NEW PROMISING AUTHORS.

Be sure to get caught up on all the chapters. Chapter 10 promises to be some fun.

Even if I get no work done at all today I plan to keep reading until I'm all caught up on this story.

Yes, I love writing sci-fi, though the romance is great too. My sci-fi does not ignore romantic scenes.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I would love to be hosted one of these days. It would definitely be an honor, but I need more of an audience before that can happen. I also need to complete this particular part of the Dark Earth Series. My goal is to finish it within the first half of the year. After that, Second Chances will become my focus.

I felt Cristobel’s hand and grabbed it instinctively. At that moment, I knew I was exactly where I needed and wanted to be.

Yes, I've noticed that.

Also, I don't know if it's just me, but I sense multiple levels of meaning in some of what you write. I'm not sure if I'm expressing myself properly. Do you understand what I think I'm trying to say? I think it's sort of like what CJ does. There's often more to what he's trying to communicate than what's explicitly written.

I'm about to start the third chapter and still lovin' it!

Now, That's aiming high tiger

Yeah, they are doing well so far... Keep reading. There are some surprises in store.

If you mean the kiss, the floating bed, almost zapping the building into oblivion, and finding out who Julian's and Cristobel's parents are, then yes, I'd say there are some surprises in store.

Well, the surprises do not stop there. I am going to try to finish chapter 11 by the weekend. Hopefully, Chapter 10's beta reading will be finished soon. I have more surprises in store.

You're such a tease!

hehe, ya, he should get my beta read by the end of the week, so it won't be long,, hopefully for you by the start of next week,,,, Don't forget he's doing it so that by the time he'll start back posting, there won't have extra gap period of wait between chapter...


ya, he is! But not that much, really, not that much

Yeah, I agree about him not being too big a tease Sacha. I really like him a lot.

I skipped my usual afternoon nap to keep reading chapters. I'm about to start Chapter 7, but I'm going to lay in bed and listen to some Rush for a little while to give my eyes a break. Then I plan to read the rest of what's been posted so far.

I guess you could say I'm really lovin' it.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it. I going to try to post it more regularly. The only problem is the chapter lengths. I try to keep them fairly uniform. They are always 6,000+.

You're doing fine Tim. The chapters aren't too long. In fact I think they're just right. Just long enough for me to read a chapter, take a short break to make another double espresso, and read the next chapter. As you've mentioned before eventually you'll have enough chapters in reserve that you can afford to release them more frequently. Either way I'll wait as long as I need to for the next chapter.

CONGRATS, Tiger!!!

Thanks BK. Actually, I would like to thank you all, especially CJ and Jan. If not for the two of you, I probably would not be in this position in the first place.

Not to ignore whatever help those folks may have been, but your work in the Dark Earth trilogy is good enough to stand on its own and make you deserving of being a promising author.

I realize that, but someone has to notice the work, and the work needs editing.

It's nice to see you're so humble!

I am humble to a fault actually. I was actually surprised to be considered at all.

Is there a formal process that the readers can participate in to recommend an author as promising or deserving of being hosted?

You can contact any of the Writer Support Team members by pm and we take it from there.

My help to Tim is the form of editing.

Jan

Thanks, Jan.

you know, this should be written somewhere.. I wonder if this is in the FAQ's.... *Runs off to check*

Edit:
*comes back*
Hmmm.. nothing about Promising authors....FAQ's need to be updated for this....

I like that idea. Perhaps, they will add them some time in the future. You could address the issue in the administrative communication sub-forum.

a lot needs to be updated... There have been many changes and they need to be incorporated. The trouble is that the admins and Mods are already taxed to the limit.

I'd volunteer, but I'm about to get very busy helping Myr figure out and implement better ways to monetize the website. If there's time though I'll do my best to try and help. However my newbie status might make it difficult cause I hardly know what's going on myself, LOL.

it is best to volunteer nonetheless. At least then they'll know who to contact when they need someone. I also volunteered for Moderation as I am always on the Boards...

Now back to the topic...

Tiger! Where's my fix?

Your fix is a work in progress. Chapter 10 is in beta. I am working on Chapter 11.
I am willing to be a moderator too.

I just finished Chapter 7. Julian sure can be mean. And I sense a Promising Author who can write superb cliffhangers!

Yes, it's been a long, stress-filled day and I'm in the mood to make trouble,

Ugh! You've been listening to the goat too much. My cliffhangers, if you can call them that, are mild compared to his.

I am halfway done with Chapter 9. They're off to see the wizard; no pun intended. Yes, my nap is long forgotten. When I'm done I have some things I want to tell you. But I will do it privately. I think you will like what I intend to tell you.

yeah...even mines are mild. The one in chapter 7(as Jan put it) is nothing in comparison to what the goat (or sometimes you, Tiger) give us poor readers.

Amen to that. Tim has raised my blood pressure significantly on more than one occasion. And it's not always at the end of a chapter either.



Oh, and it's not always due to cliffhangers either.

I will admit to some of the plot being infuriating. There is an unresolved issue. Look for it to be addressed soon.

Graeme!! Where is that echidna when you need him!!!

Graeme only cares about CJ doing that, because he is part of CJ's team.

Damn!

FYI, I should be releasing Chapter 10 some time next week. I should also be finishing Chapter 11 soon.

w00t!!!

Then there's that bird of prey with those talons of steel that you have to watch out for.

Chapter 10 has been posted




Damn! and you say you don't use major cliffhangers!! LIAR!

Awesome, yet again.
