Fan Based

So, as more and more Fans are discovering Alfonso, Leah, Eve, and the crew I can't wait to find out who each reader is drawn to.
So, here is what I am going to do. Tell me which character it is you enjoy or feel closer to, and the character who gets the most votes will become featured either in an online series, or maybe...just maybe have their own book about them! Then those who voted will recieve a special recognition.
So, this is what we are asking; email us with the following information  to nathan.e.parks@gmail.com:

Sequel and other things

The journey through this series has been a great journey for me. I spent a few years wondering if I would ever actually publish it. Why you ask? Well, because as I started putting it down on paper it really was personal. I could hear these characters "talking" to me, and sharing with me their stories. I felt that if I allowed others "in" then it would be a like letting others in on a secret that I was not suppose to tell.

     I love writing because it does allow me the chance to understand the story, hear the story, live the story, and yes read the story before anyone else does. I love that. I love to watch as these characters grow right in front of me, before anyone else gets to see them. It is almost like watching your child grow. You feel very partial to them, and you are proud of them, but you also are not sure how much of them you want to let go.

     I recently went back and was reading some of the earlier writings on this series, and I was amazed at how much Eve, Leah, and the rest have grown into who they are today. In fact it is funny to see how some of them even had different names, and again like a child, I can't imagine them as anyone different now. It would be like me looking at one of my kids and thinking, "I should have named you a different name!" It just wouldn't be the same, because they have owned that name, and have their name and who they are have blended together into one creation.

     I am currently working on sequel to The Nephelium, and I am so excited as everything unfolds in front of me. The sequel will pick up soon after the first novel, but the reader will dig deeper into the Clans, Arch Council, and the Alliance, and nothing is ever the way it seems.

     Before I get back to working on it, I want to say thanks for all your support, because there is no way that this story would out there if it wasn't your support and desire to learn more about those found in this series.

The Eternals Book One: The Nephelium (Revised Edition) hits amazon.com and kindle

I will neve forget the dissapoint I felt after I realized that when my first novel was published in 2007 it was done so with an enditor and printer that had left me with a product that was nothing short of a diaster. I learned a lot over that time period about self-publishing. (Still have a lot to learn) The reviews were so mixed that I felt so discouraged. They all had certain things in common: "Fantastic book, great multi-layered characters, deep storyline....BUT editing is horrible!"

I wondered if Eve, Leah, Alfonso, and the rest of the characters within the world of The Eternals would be able survive this horrible blunder? Well, thanks to +Sheila Munoz they have. Dr. Munoz has been working the field of professional editing and layout for years, and she brought back hope into the lives of these Characters.

This weekend fans of The Eternals Book One: The Nephelium were overjoyed as the new revised edition hit www.amazon.com! (http://amzn.com/1490566252), and for the first time ever was released for the Kindle! (http://amzn.com/B00DQFLOP6)

This revised edition includes an appendix, and a glossary to help old fans and new navigate through the ever intertwined existance of those found within this series.
