| 12 Dec 2008 |  Heather M Sellers | Loading... Hey you took down your Darkmist story! No fair.  Do you think you’ll write more on it? please?
I love your Ghostbuster’s reference by the way.  Chris A Jackson replies: "The "Darkmist story" is going to be published... The first book in the trilogy "Zellohar" will be out in February. The cover art is awesome! It will be up on my website. The other two will be out by the end of summer (for DragonCon).
Glad you like it!" | |
| 2 Jan 2009 |  Meg Rachor | Loading... Hey Chris, I’m back! Kind of. I haven’t written anything yet, I’m just at the leaving comments stage  I have some books in my head though, and who knows, maybe I will actually finish one! Chris A Jackson replies: "Books in head... yes, I have that problem, too... Heh, heh..." | |
| 4 Mar 2009 | Christopher Carrig | Loading... Chris, I just started reading Weapon of Flesh now that I’ve finished Greg Bear’s Blood Music. I’m only ten pages into it and I’m already deeply satisfied that I picked it up at Megacon. I’ve read a few mainstream fantasy novels, mostly Dungeons and Dragons tie-ins and China Mieville(the low end of the spectrum to the high end, as it were), and this definitely belongs on a higher shelf than what passes for mainstream fantasy. I’ll keep checking in as I get deeper into the book, but you’ve done a brilliant job reeling me in with these first chapters. My favorite detail so far is your portrayal of orcs. You introduce them without lengthy exposition, relying on the reader’s knowledge of genre tropes, but you don’t let those tropes define the orcs. You make them your own, giving them dimension and life that is refreshing to read. Well done, sir. Chris A Jackson replies: "Hi Christopher! Great to hear from you! Glad you’re enjoying Weapon, and thanks for the kudos! I’ll be at FX International in April if you’d like to see me again, and you can always get more on my website...
Also, I’d love it if you commented on Amazon. Those comments really are the litmus test of how well a book is received by the reading public.
Thanks again!
Oh, do you mind if I put this comment in my "fan mail" page on my website?" | |
| 21 Mar 2009 |  Kristopher Brown | Loading... Hey, Chris! Long time no see...er talk! I visited your website, hoping to see signs of Scimitar Moon hitting the bookshelves, but I didn’t find it! Is it going to be published, or are you still editing it? Chris A Jackson replies: "Scimitar Moon is indeed going to be in print. It got picked up by a great small press, Dragon Moon Press. They have a great Facebook page, and have merged with Edge Publishing... both Canadian...
Scimitar Moon should be out this summer! I’m outlining Scimitar Sun right now... heh heh...
Keep watching the website for updates. Email me if you you want to be put on my mailing list!
Thanks!" | |
| 20 Apr 2009 | Heather Sellers | Loading... Hey Chris, I need some writing advise. I assume I can e-mail, you? Chris A Jackson replies: "Hey Heather, of course you can e-mail me! chris@jaxbooks.com
I’m more than happy to offer advice!
Cheers" | |
| 21 Aug 2009 |  Ray Krisman | Loading... OK so I recognize 3 stories from when I was last here. Um, wow you’re prolific as ever! But I guess you use this site mostly as advertisement and a supply of proof-readers hey? Chris A Jackson replies: "I’ve been so busy lately, I have kind of stopped writing short stuff... I do get good proof readers from my elfwood fans... and they are acknowledged in Scimitar Moon! Really!" | |
| 29 Aug 2009 | Ray Krisman | Loading... OK i wanna ask you two wyverns related stuff: 1) How do I change the text of my profile? I can’t upload stuff till I remove a smiley but I can’t figure out how to edit my profile! 2) I remember I used to copy my stories into notepad and then go thru the entire story putting in HTML tags individually, but towards the end I found out I could just save it in MS Word under a certain format... what was that format? Web? Web filtered? Or something else? I’ve got MS Word 2007 so I want mods to actually be able to open my files... Good to hear you’ve been prolific tho If you don’t mind me asking, do you make enough money with your books? Enough to live on? Or you still got your day job? Chris A Jackson replies: "Hey, Ray
I do NOT make enough on my writing to live. We’re currently taking some time off work, but I’m not supporting myself with my writing yet... yet....
As to how Wyverns is working, I’m having difficulty with the format myself. I don’t update much any more. I did upload a story not too long ago, and I think I used MS word and saved it as Web. There has to be a tutorial around Elfwood somewhere!
Good luck!" | |
| 5 Oct 2009 | Ray Krisman | Loading... Hey I sent u an e-mail with an idea for a story I have... read it and let me know what u think... Chris A Jackson replies: "I think I already did... Interesting premise. Hope you work the kinks out and get it into print!" | |
| 20 Oct 2009 | Ray Krisman | Loading... Me? Get something into print? That’s nigh on never happening! I just write for fun Chris A Jackson replies: "Why not send it in? " | |
