Rez's Arsenal: Remington 870

The 870s near completion

Yesterday I was busy working at this pair of Remington 870s seen in the book Resolution and soon to be seen in Residue. I've got them done but there is just a little more tweaking left to do, as I want to make at least one of them look worn and well used. At this point they look shiny and new, and they are just to give my readers a visual, either for those less versed in the way of the gun, or for those who are; something fun to look at. I use very simple Photoshop techniques to accomplish these drawings and don't intend for them to be masterpieces, but they take only a few hours to complete at the most and are fun little projects. A little copy/paste for the tan version on top, a little Photoshop magic with filters for the texture and done. I'll update this post with the final product later.

The final product with a little wear on the shorty.

Time to get started

As I begin the process of writing book two in my Rez series, and after discovering Smashwords, AND starting an author page on Facebook, a blog seemed like a logical next step. One of the main functions of this blog is going to be a place where readers can find short excerpts from Residue (book 2) as I write it. I think that I'll use Facebook to share images and update the progress of each book as I write them but blogs are a fun way to offer more content and really a place for me to talk about my writing and my characters. I think it might be kinda cool to have a chance to get in the heads of authors I like and if I should accumulate a fan base, perhaps they would feel the same way. I can talk about my process and where I think my characters are going and at the end of the day it could be a sort of virtual note book.

For now you can find Resolution: Events In The Life Of A Man Called Rez at Amazon at this link. And I hope you will eventually find a good reason to like me on Facebook - about the time I start posting some cool pictures and the book gets closer to being published, right? I'm just getting things rolling so be patient. I figure it's never too soon to start!
