While we're in the break between "Off The Mark" books, I thought that perhaps we could have a bit of fun with the characters from the story.

Mark Wells is here to answer all your questions as honestly and completely as he can. (In other words, totally in character!)

EDIT: Future events are in the future! Mark has not got a crystal ball.

Chapter 63 now has an additional illustration by Baron Engel. As we couldn't hold up the story until the art arrived, it had to be added later. Well, that's now and this is the awesome art:

Have you been enjoying the adventures (and misadventures) of Mark Wells? Why not read it again it again, but this time on a device guaranteed not to lose your data and is completely DRM-free! Consisting of hundreds of sheets of pulped wood with the words rendered with a black medium, it's sure to catch on. I wanted to call it a "woodpage", but someone else thought "paperback" was catchier. I dunno. What do you think?

Cosmic Lotus is in contention for the Ursa Major Award for Best Anthropomorphic Novel for 2018. After missing out for the past few years, I'm quite chuffed about getting on the ballot this time. If you feel it deserves it, go vote for Cosmic Lotus, pretty please!

I left this way too late, but I want to point out that Cosmic Lotus is eligible for nomination for the 2018 Ursa Major Award in the Novel category.

Sometimes you have to wonder how authors can get new chapters out so quickly when they still have to work eight hours a day plus commute, eating, doing necessary chores, and so forth. The answer is quite simple, and courtesy of a graphic modified by Airy Words, I'll reveal it to you...

I love to write, but unlike most authors, I also like to get many illustrations for my stories. Of course, this costs me a lot of money. Help support me and keep up the frequent art additions by buying me a ko-fi!

If you are at Anthrocon and you wanted to get a copy of Cosmic Lotus, I have three left as of 12:43pm Saturday. I also have a very few of my other novels too.

I will be attending Anthrocon this year as a dealer, selling my paperback books. A limited number of copies of Cosmic Lotus will also be available for sale. Autographed if you wish!

Next year, I plan to go to a pony convention of some kind. I don't know whether I'll be a dealer though because I might want to be having fun instead.
