Wpw That was good. That was very good. The whole 'war-ish' concept. Wow. You really should publish, this, you know. Although it wouldn't be in any Canadian book stores any time soon...aw... Ooh, ooh! *raises hand* Was I an inspiration to you? I had the nerve to post my own off-topic story, and now you do too! (P.S: My story needs more views other than jle. Mind being a dear and checking it out? You won't regret it!)

Will do KKB-F. Sorry I haven't already I've been preoccupied by the velociraptor that keeps trying to get in my front door. I would publish it if I could find a literary agent or published willing to take a chance on me. Unfortunately the literary scene in Australia is as dead as Christian Slater's career.
Here's some more bits:

I've thought about it. I've just never been completely comfortable with meshing my patricular style of illustration with this novel - the book has a rather more serious tone than I'm able to capture with my drawings, and I wouldn't want the story to be misconstrued as some frothy anime knockoff. It's heavy stuff, and important to me. My writing and drawing are kinda seperate entities. I'd like to do a Cale Black story as a graphic novel in the future if Silhouettes is ever published, but it would be a seperate story done in a way that lends itself to the visual medium.
I've plugged Pan MacMillan with some excerpts again now that the manuscript has been streamlined further. In two years this is the third time I've hit them. Maybe it could be the lucky one. We'll see. Those fuckers publish Matthew Reilly and I shit all over him - compared to me his books rate at about high-school level... worse even. If those knobs at Pan don't sign me this time then they've got rocks in their heads... And I'll be forced to liberate those heads from their prissy high-class necks. It's been years since I visited Sydney properly... might be time I painted the town red, as it were...

But if I eat their hearts I can BECOME them, and then publish myself!

Maz - My drawings are... different. They're a seperate thing from my writing... like chocolate is seperate from lamb chops... ...unless..... hmmm.... I'm gonna try out a new recipe. x-number1fan-x - thank you very much. Would you like to try my patented choc-coated lamb chops? Apple tea - Ha... haha... hahaha... the New Zealander is actually one of the first characters to die. My bad... I just can't stand their accent. Also, there is a certain rivalry between my country and NZ... all in good fun though. KKBF - Yeah, the dogs of war do let slip the dialogue of war to some extent. Cultured they're not. Also, I'm glad you like the ending. I like to leave off with an emotional impact, and I'm particularly proud of that one. I might post some more in time... although if the book ever gets published I'd want some material to be left unread so y'all would have an excuse to buy it. For your interest, two drawings of Cale Black... but I'm not completely happy with either. Not sure why but I've yet to capture his true essence:

Yeah, and it's not like I kill New Zealanders in real life and bury their bodies out in the national park or anything silly like that. *glances around nervously*

Thanks. Took me two years to write. Real labour of love. A fruitless one at that.
