The blasters are probably semi automatic. Can't wait to see if the Hoppers have any upgrades! Hoppers are my favorite vehicale in the series. I know I spelled that wrong. Hoppers rock!!!!!

Hoo boy, lots to reply to here. First off, Trang, thanks for the heads up. You just gave Dan and me more information about the upcoming publications than our publisher has.

By the by, you jumped the gun on me about The Hunt. So I'll announce it shortly here in a longer post in a new thread.

The blaster is semi-auto; takes a slight pause for the plasma to recharge. The assault guns in the blaster platoons are more on the order of company-level machineguns (the M-60, or whatever they're using today). The guns used by the assault platoon are more like .50 cal machineguns or the M... M... Is it M19? I'm drawing a blank, the 40mm grenade launcher machinegun.

You gotta wait until the books are published to find out about new Skink weapons.

I knew there was something else to respond to: When we get closer to publication, that'll be the time to bring up Dan and me signing copies.

I just now took a look at Amazon. It lists Wings of Hell, but you have to look it up under the title, it doesn't show up if you search for Starfist or DemonTech. Gives the publication date as December 30. So it'll make a good New Year's present, or, for those of you who might follow a different calendar, a good Epifany present. Actually, I don't care what kind of excuse you use, just buy it.

(I know, I know, I misspelled Epifany. So sue me. Better not, I don't have any money for you to get if you win the suit. Unless the court makes me sell my computer and give you the proceeds. All of $100 or so. It's an old computer. But then I won't be able to write any more books, so better not sue.)

Thanks for the response David, and didnt meant to stir up anything with the Recoil CoverArt with Dan, hope he still responds, sorry about that.

I guess could have skink do 50,  7 count bodybuilders to make up? "Ill count the cadence", "You count the repatitions", "Begin! one...two... three..":)

Intersted about the Vampire thing too, the Vamp/Werewolf/Undead genre is not on my radar normally, by middle daughter has been reading a popular YA Book series called Twilight,By Stephany Myer, she says its about them, and like it a lot. If your writing about it, Im game:) so look forward to it.

And im working on the shelfari stuff for starfist and demontech (tags, reviews, etc) might help a little also. I wonder if a petition was signed by everyone that likes Demontech and sent to the publisher it could get them to reconsider the book series? I wonder what the count would have to be to make a difference?

Anyway,

Fairday,
Trang

Trang, I guarantee you, The Hunt isn't like any vampire novel your daughter reads. Matter of fact, she'd probably hate it so much she wouldn't finish reading it. And if she did finish it, it might give her nightmares. My vamps are NOT romantic figures, they're psychopathic killers. There is more casual violence in that book than in all of my VN novels combined. Emphasis on "casual."
