I have decided to add one more artist to my staff. 

I met this young man at New York Comic Con.

The artist's name is Tremaine Worrell and he lives in NYC.

He will also be doing 2 pictures for KS2 which is close

to being published.

Here is a sample of Tremaine's aka Tre's work.

Welcome to the Seeker Entertainment staff Tre.

Also here are a few pictures from New York Comic Con.

This is Blair Smith doing the Painting of Knight Seeker

at our table.

Still plugging away at looking over the 2nd book

with my Editor Tom C.  It's a good amount of time taken

out to do this process.  But in the mean time I rather keep you

guys up to date as much as I can, since I am attracting new

readers to the world of Knight Seeker.

A good number of you are asking when the second book is being

released since your really intrigued to see what happens next.

I can feel comfortable with saying Mid-June this year K.S. 2

should be out for public sales.

Also for the novel I have decided to have 3 artists work on the

cover of the second novel.  The three artists agree that this will

be a most interesting cover for the readers to view, and it will

be very eye catching.  The first concepts are from Rodney my

lead artist for Knight Seeker.

Now that three artists (Rodney Jacobsen, Shawn Alleyne, and 

Blair Smith) will be working on a new cover,

this combo will raise the expectation of what we will all

see as a finished cover.  The fun part about this is that I have

no idea what these three men will come up with, but

I do like surprises.

Last note for the day I wanted to tell you guys, some of you were

waiting on a certain publishing company to get back to me

on a possible book deal.  I have to tell you I was contacted by

one of the biggest sci-fi publishing companies around.  I talked to the

editting representive on staff.  He said that my book was not

what they were looking for.  The funny part that gets me is this,

he said the characters and the back stories are strong, but the

names are cliche.  That's really an odd statement.  I don't think the

guy really read the book, if he did he would understand as my

readers do.  The names of the characters reflect who they

are and what they do through out the book.  This method makes

it easier for the reader to remember who they are. 

This is why the names are important to the characters. 

But of course with editors mostly only read text they

do not understand the emotions and the feelings behind the

characters and what they have to face.  That is why for the

reader I make sure the money that you pay to get any Knight

Seeker title that is personally released by me you will have

a true value for your hard earned money.

I will also be undergoing the process of becoming a publishing

company, so Seeker Entertainment will be branching into

other ventures with more writers and artists.

I am hung with the responsibility to have a work that defines my life

and the people that are around me.  I don't really sale the books I

write, I share them.  That is one of the reasons why I tell a potiential

reader to only get the book when you are ready for it.  But once

they have it in their hands they understand why I say purchase it

when you are ready.  The characters in my writings

have a way of becoming emotional attachment to the readers,

and at the same time the reader may view their lives

in a different fashion.

I will say that if you are on the edge of purchasing a

Knight Seeker novel,

I challenge you to read it, because it will most likly have an impact

on your life, and will challenge you to better yourself.  This is why superheroes

are important in our society, and that is why we now have

Knight Seeker.

New York Comic Con. is complete and all I can say is

WOW!!

I want to thank NY Comic Con, organizers for such a fun time.

My hat goes off to my 3 artists that joined me at this event.

I had no idea how all of this was going to work out.  I will

admit I was a little nervous about the whole event before it started.

I was concerned that I would not have everything in place

for myself or the artists in time for the convention,

but everything pulled through. 

The artists were in heaven the whole time, and they got

to meet some old friends and make a ton of new ones.

It's awesome having 2 drawing artists at my table that did sketches and sold

prints through out the day.  I have to give them much respect

for also being able to greet everyong that came towards our table.

Shawn, and Antonio had bunches of people around them watching them work on drawings.

On the other side of the table was Blair, who was actually

painting a picture of Knight Seeker standing in a power pose.

Blair spent a good deal of time painting a great piece of art.

The painting here was bought on Sunday.

People have been eyeing that painting for a long while,

and Blair loved the attention and the people asking questions.

It is amazing how all of this came out of a picture by

Shawn Alleyne.

All three artists are great at fan relations, or

customer service.  They answered a great deal

of questions and were happy to give words of

encouragement to up and coming artists.

I myself was helping other writers, answering their

questions about the industry, and was happy to

do so.

A great thing that spiced things up and yes

I was surprised that the News-A-Rama crew stopped

over to our table.  They told us that they enjoyed seeing people

gathered around a new project and it seemed to be exciting.

Antonio Clark mainly headed up the report, and his voice was 

starting to give out from talking so much to 

the fans throught the weekend.  As for me I was just sitting back

and letting the artists talk.  I was there for my people and this project.

I was not there for me.  I have always gone out of my way to make sure

the people I work with are properly taken care of and are always

respected for all that they do.  As I said before in my other posts

I am a man on a mission with this new superhero, and I hope to have

Knight Seeker stand out as a icon in the entertainment industry.

Above is the image of me and Antonio, and yeah I think

we are pretty tough.

During our time spent in New York City, Kyle had kept

himself busy bring Knight Seeker into the realm of computers.

This version of Knight Seeker was inspired by Adam Hicks.
