I have fought for almost a year now to keep this story going and flowing, but alas, everyone flocked to Blood & Bullets! That is perfectly fine by me as it is a bit of irony when you can kill your own series with one of your own series LMFAO! I just wanted to let people know so they were not lost when they saw my writing count drop by 5 and then Rogue was suddenly missing.

Than k you all for your continued support with both Blood & Bullets and the other series I have been working on or even just short stories. I do not know exactly what will be next as I have plenty lined up for impnow, but when I decide what will be posted next on this site, you all will be the first to know!

THANK YOU ALL! :D

Cheers!

1 week from tonight will be the release of the impnow exclusive October story, Tormented! Most everyone has read the preview which features the prologue and should know that by now I am going to go go really, well...extremely dark with this horror story. I have had much feedback from those both leaving comments and mailing me personally or discussing things with me on my MSN in regards to their reaction after reading the prologue to Tormented.

The reactions have varied, I even had someone who cried after reading part of it and then could not finish it. I will not say names as it is not important but you should know that regardless the one thing in common all reactions have had is this one simple thing. Everyone that has spoke to me in regards to that prologue has been extremely shocked at just how dark it was. They were not expecting that and I wrote 3 warnings..one in the info section, another in a thread on the forums I do believe and one right before the story saying what would likely and could be in the story.

Many did not expect it and ignored the warnings and were shocked as to what they read. I lost a reader due to the graphic nature of the story. This is not for good mind you just they could not handle it and decided to stay away from the material. To this I would like to stress before October 1st comes around and this story gets going, you really need to heed that warning. I did not put it up there for show or hype, I mean every word and then some in that warning so please read it before reading my prologue or any part of the story.

This story is going to be extremely dark and just by the prologue alone is easily the darkest I have ever written. I am not posting any more stories until Tormented starts thus from now till October 1st I may be on the site but I am not going to be posting stories. I will however possibly be posting character profiles to this story and maybe even give a little more info than the prologue. Mainly though I will be relaxing my mind and resting it for the rest of the weekend and up until the 1st of October in preperation for Tormented. I have allowed my self 7 days to do so for a reason.

You all will see it when I write Tormented and you begin to read deeper past just the prologue. I need to relax my mind mostly due to the fact I have been balancing life, with work, running Grieve Films, and this constantly and you all have seen how quickly I have been shelling out stories on this site.

You can expect this piece of writing to be the darkest story I have ever written. It will not cater to the light hearted or average horror fan or fan of writing. People will die in it. Dark and disturbing things will happen in this of the sorts that most people avoid even talking about. It is going to be a very graphic story so be prepared. If you read this story you need to read that warning prior to and take it very seriously.

I would love to thank all of you for the strong support you have shown me on Impnow since I first came here. The staff is amazing, my friends are truly wonderous to me as are my fellow viewers.

To my fans though, I owe you all the biggest credit! You all have stuck with me through my entire time here and you all know who you are. I am so thankful for your support and it means many wonders and amazing things to me as should I ever make my dreams a reality someday it will have been you all that were there from the very beginning well before the world knew my name.

I want everyone fans or otherwise on Impnow to know I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

I am very appreciative and thanks to everyone here I am #3 on impnow but you know what, it is not about all of that...to me it is simply about the fact that everyone here has been so supportive and I owe you all great thanks lol! Regardless of what the future brings I will remember you all and you all have been there for me from the beginning. I will never forget this support everyone here on impnow has shown me.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!

I hope you enjoy Tormented.

Tormented releases in one week on October 1st.

Hope you enjoy.

Cheers! =)

I just wanted to say thank you to all of the Impnowsters out there whether a creator of the site, part of the staff, friends, or fans I wanted to say thank you so much for all your support everyone.

If it weren't for you all I would never have gotten into the top 5 of the Impnow group of artists. Anyways, I wanted to thank everyone as you all are truly amazing and truly supportive of my work and the stories I write. I thank you all for your honesty when reviewing any of my stories and I thank you all for your kindness in allowing me to share my work with you all as well as you all sharing your work with me and allowing me to review and at times asking me to rate, review and so on your own artwork.

Speaking on that I would like to say if you do wish for me to review something just let me know in advance as I am extremely busy between running things with Grieve Films and my regular job as well as all the great many stories and writing I've been doing lately and usually am doing. I am hard at work on several things for you all including Tormented and of course my comedy I'm writing at the moment Get Willy!

I've got countless numbers I'm working on story wise at the moment and just wanted you all to know I'm so thankful to be a part of a community of such talented and amazing artists and such supportive fans! =)

You all rock! That is all there is to it. I am so thankful for all the support and wanted you to know there is still more to come and plenty of it. Rain 3 (working title) is still in the works and I have Tormented slated for October 1st as the start date. Tormented will of course be Impnow exclusive. Now here I will list a few stories I'm working on and whether their impnow exclusive or otherwise.

The Impnow Exclusive stories:

Get Willy!
Tormented
Rogue
RAIN 3 (Working Title)
BLOOD & BULLETS (Impnow exclusive Series)
Justice
Lust

Myspace Exclusives:

Vendetta
Ro se
Nightmare

These are but a very few from each that I am working on at the moment. You read correctly, I am officially making the 3rd story of Rain an Impnow exclusive. Also, I'm indeed writing another romance which you would guess is Lust. I have many more I'm working on at the moment but I can not release more information on those till later on.

Blood & Bullets is coming December 1st. Get caught up on everything thus far and prior to by checking out the profile for Blood & Bullets which is blood_bullets here on impnow.com. Add it if you would please and read as come December 1st things are going to happen with a real BANG! as far as that story and profile go. Put it this way. Blood & Bullets is my baby in a way. Something I'm extremely excited about and can not wait to share with you all which is why I made it exclusive to Impnow. It is a series much like a tv show would be and will act as such in many ways.

You all gave such a huge response that I had to make it Impnow exclusive and I'm thankful I have. It is the same reason Rain 3 has also become an exclusive. So many others as well. Fated was one although I didn't say it was exclusive it was.

Well, anyways, I hope to continue to bring many more in the way of stories to you all. That is something that will never change. If I should live my dreams one day and they become realities you can bet I will still be serving up free stories to you all here on Impnow. I give great thanks to every one of you and wish you all the best.

Thank you all for the support!

Cheers! =)

Alright so after watching all day and getting a few votes it became apparent to me that it wasn't even the voting that showed it but the fact that in just 1 day the profile up for Blood & Bullets has already connected with 60 people so far alone. I'm pretty happy with just seeing that and can't wait to see what happens in the future with things and that in itself has made me go ahead and just decide that hey it's pretty obvious what should happen here.

I am proud to announce that Blood & Bullets will be an Impnow.com exclusive series! That is right, myspace isn't getting it, nor is any other site. Impnow.com will be getting the series in it's entirety and exclusively forever! That means, I'm not even going to release it on myspace at a later date. No, you can catch the premiere of Blood & Bullets on it's story profile titled blood_bullets December 1st for the repremiere of the prologue and the premiere of Episode 1!

The entire series will be exclusive to Impnow.com as a sort of thank you for your continued support of my work and for the reaction connection wise as far as the profile went today. I'm really, greatly appreciative of the reactions I've gotten but mostly though just of the support that you all have given me!

So, is that enough good news for one night?

I have another surprise for you. ;)

RAIN 3 (Working Title) Coming in 2009!

If your not aware of what rain is although I know many who are on here then feel free to check out both the first and second stories of Rain in my blog or if this is on blood_bullets blog and your reading this check out Dustin's blog. Their a bit further back but you can find both stories there.

What's that you want more surprises?

Well I've got another surprise for you all indeed.

In order to get that though you'll have to....



























.......STAY TUNED! ;)

Alright fellow friends, fans, and creators alike. I have some news about Blood & Bullets that I would like to share with you. It is ongoing and not guaranteed but I was thinking of maybe making Blood & Bullets exclusive to Impnow only as opposed to sharing it with myspace as wel as I once debated doing prior too.

The original target release of the beginning of the short story series was set for December 1st of this year and was going to release simultaneously here on Impnow.com and also on Myspace.com however after much thought and consideration the possibility has come that I may make Blood & Bullets exclusive to Impnow.com. It would be a thank you of sorts for all the support you all have given and also a way to share it here and here only. I would still leave the side story up on myspace where it is so that anyone from myspace who wanted to read the story on Impnow might come here and see the site, read the series as it continues and maybe even join Impnow, some of them.

That being said though the biggest thing is I wanted to give you all the chance to help decide what happens. Although you all would have to vote or else I'd decide exactly what happened to it.

So you have till Monday to vote on whether or not you would like to see Blood & Bullets become exclusive to Impnow or you didn't mind either way.

Simply leave a comment in the blog that says yes you would like to see Blood & Bullets exclusive to Impnow or no you wouldn't. You can also vote by leaving a message in my inbox. I would say drop a comment by but at the moment comments are being wonky on my profile and not always working. Anyways, I will likely set up a profile for the series itself right off either way but you all will help in deciding whether it is exclusive to Impnow or it goes to both websites.

Thank you all for your time and patience and for your opinions.

I wish you all the best and thank you for the support!

Cheers! =)

This is an open invitation to anyone and everyone to ask me anything. Whether it be about writing, art, my own life, things you've wanted to know or always wondered. I don't care...just an open Q & A. Leave a question and I'll answer it to the best of my ability.

Be creative.

Cheers! =)

P.S.- Thank you again everyone for your amazing and wonderful support! I greatly appreciate it! =)

Blood & Bullets: The Unknown is a short story that introduces an assassin known only as The Unknown who will be in the full Blood & Bullets story and will play a very key and integral part to the story. It also introduces C.O.L.D. the worlds deadliest orginization of assassins who also are a key part to the full story of Blood & Bullets which you all know is currently in the works of being written and if you want a preview go to my writings and read it there.
The story will follow The Unknown and the journey taken by this mysterious entity that leads up to a certain point in Blood & Bullets story. I can not reveal too much for I don't want to spoil this short story or my full length story Blood & Bullets. I can't wait to let you all read it though. It is coming along amazingly.
Thank you again for all the support, messages, comments, and everything on my stories. I really love and appreciate all of you and your support. Thank you for being supportive and I love you all. That goes for fans, friends, creators of the site and everyone.
I really hope you enjoy this short story as I continue writing it and that you'll give your thoughts and opinions as well as you rating on what you think of each part.
Thank you all again and I hope you enjoy this.
Cheers! =)

*It should also be noted that I've recieved messages not just from here but myspace asking me when exactly the story Blood & Bullets will make it's debut and to that I simply say patience. When it comes out I want you to have one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written and one of the greatest stories ever told right before you and for free! =)

Thank you for your patience. ;)
